It seemed that Robbie had disappeared from my life. I hadn't seen him for more than half a month.
For a moment, I only had Rogelio in my life, as if he was the only one in my life.
Rogelio was very kind to me, which made me hesitate all the time and spend these days in unspeakable silence.
I even wondered if I should accept such a reality.
I could finally get out of bed and walk. As long as I didn't exercise violently, I wouldn't feel the pain from the wound.
The Spring Festival was approaching.
The Luo family was welcoming the Spring Festival positively, and hey had been preparing everything for the Spring Festival since a long time ago.
It was the first time that I had had breakfast with Nancy at a table.
"Mom, Jasmine is much better now. I want to hold a wedding for the two of us."
Nancy raised his eyebrows and looked at me, but her tone was very good to Rogelio.
"Of course I don't mind if you want to hold a wedding. After all, it's my son's marriage. We can't just end it without holding a marriage in the public. When do you want to hold it?"
Rogelio smiled at me and said, "Of course I want to hold it as soon as possible. And it's the end of the year now. I want to take this opportunity to take Jasmine out for a holiday."
"Do you want to go on a honeymoon during the Spring Festival? You two can be happy if you do so. But have you ever thought how boring I would be to only have your sister at home? Your father doesn't love this family anymore, and your brother doesn't come back to see you after so long."
"Don't be so picky. Robbie called you yesterday, didn't he? He was just busy at his work. As for Dad, you should get used to it."
Nancy sighed and said, "I don't know what Robbie is busy with. He doesn't even have time to go home. How can a phone call be the same as a meeting with me?"
I lowered my head and listened carefully to their conversation, but I couldn't know what happened to Robbie recently.
The so-called wedding, which Rogelio and didn't discuss with each other, was a "surprise" for me, but I was not happy in the end.
After having breakfast that day, Rogelio was going to the company. I said to him, "I want to go home. I want to go out for a walk and see Xenia."
"You haven't fully recovered yet. If you miss Xenia, I can ask her to come here to accompany you."
"I also want to go out for a walk. It's a little boring to stay at home."
Rogelio smiled, and said, "That's right. I'll drive you there. I'll pick you up after I come back from the company."
I nodded and said, "Okay."
On the way, Rogelio asked, "Do you have any comments on what I said this morning?"
I thought I was in a complex feeling now. I didn't know whether I should accept it or refuse it. Looking at the enthusiasm of Rogelio every day, I thought it was too cruel to say my true feelings to him.
But I didn't know if it was a kind of cruelty to myself if I kept my feelings deep inside my heart.
"What are you thinking about?"
It was not until Rogelio called me that I realized I was absent-minded just now.
"What did you say?"
Looking at me, Rogelio shook his head with a smile. "I find that you are likely to be absent-minded recently. In fact, I'm also very easy to be absent-minded recently. I don't know what they have said during meetings at my company. Do you know why?"
I shook my head.
"I'm missing you. I find that when I can't see you, I will miss you. I will wonder if you are thinking about me and how nice it would be if you were always by my side."
