In the middle of the night, Luke's phone calls came like a string of cannonballs. As soon as the call was connected, his questions came like a storm: "Jojo, what are you doing? Why did you block Yvonne's WeChat for no reason? She fainted again because of this. Don't you know that she is not in good health? How many times have I told you not to make her angry!"
I folded the clothes in my hands, put them into the suitcase one by one, and then stood up and walked to the balcony. It was pitch black outside, and there was a biting cold. I responded calmly: "You called at this time just to talk about this?"
Luke was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was more confident: "What else? Are you going to say that there is something between me and her? I have said it many times, I just treat her as a sister. If your sister gets sick and faints, will you not be anxious?"
I have heard these words so many times that my ears are calloused and my heart is no longer moved. I responded calmly: "You should be anxious."
Luke heard my calm tone, and then he said, "Add her back quickly," and hung up the phone. Of course, I didn't do it.
This year is the eighth year that Luke and I have been together. Since we first got together, I often heard him mention his sister Yvonne , saying that she was cute, obedient, and a little clingy. At first, I thought she was his biological sister, but later I found out that he was an only child, so I thought she was his cousin.
When we graduated from college, we started working and Yvonne also came to the city where we worked to attend college. Luke said that a neighbor asked him to take care of Yvonne because she had congenital heart disease.
On weekdays, we have to go to work and work overtime, and occasionally have weekends and some free time. Whenever I was going to have a date with him, he would always receive a call from Yvonne. Either she was feeling unwell, had a sprained ankle, or had a cold... Over time, Luke would go to accompany her whenever he had free time. We have argued about this countless times, but I always looked forward to the future with his assurances. But this time, I no longer look forward to it.
