I won’t go on.
Larry’s heart is full of such sentiments. Do you think what constant advice can shake him? You don’t know what he has been pursuing these years, and I don’t know whether he can simply speculate. His desire is not his desire, but his heart is eager to cry out for him to save the soul of a girl who used to be naive, but now she is a slut. You are right. I think he is wasting his time. He will suffer with this sensitivity. On his lifelong career, he will always fall short. Paris, king of Troy, shot Achilles’ ankle with a despicable arrow, and he died.
I love Isabel and say God knows I never asked him for anything, and I didn’t expect anyone to be as selfish as I am. He will never be happy after that.
She began to cry, and I wanted to cry. It was also a kind of venting, so I didn’t comfort myself. I distracted myself and kept thinking about the thoughts that came to my mind. I couldn’t help thinking that the devil would feel complacent when he saw Christianity provoke cruel wars, and Christians persecuted each other and tortured all kinds of cruel hypocrisy. Whenever the devil thought of Christianity, it would make human beings bear the sin, the beautiful stars look gloomy, and the secular enjoyment would return to the ominous shadow, and he would inevitably snicker and mutter that the devil had come to collect debts.
After a while, Isabel took a handkerchief from her bag and looked at it. She carefully wiped the corner of her eye.
You fucking pity me, don’t you? she said sternly
I looked at her thoughtfully and didn’t answer. She was putting lipstick on her face.
What did you mean when you said you could guess what he had been pursuing for years?
This is also my guess, and it may be wrong. I think he is pursuing some kind of philosophy, maybe some kind of religion that can satisfy his physical and mental life rules
Isabel sighed as she thought about my words.
Don’t you think it’s strange that a country kid in Marvin, Illinois should think that?
Luther burbank was born on a farm in Massachusetts, but he can grow oranges. Henry Ford was born on a farm in Michigan, but he can make cars. It is not surprising that Larry did this.
But those things are very real. They are unified in the United States.
I laughed.
Larry is spending his life well. There shouldn’t be anything more real than that.
Isabel made a gesture of moknai.
What do you want me to do?
You don’t want to lose Larry, do you
She nodded her head.
You know, Larry is very loyal to others. If you don’t have his wife, he won’t. If you know this, you have to be friends with Sophie. You must put it in the past and be as kind as possible to Sophie. She should get married and need to buy some new clothes. You might as well discuss accompanying her to buy them. I think she will definitely say yes.
Isabel narrowed her eyes and seemed to be absorbed in listening to me. She pondered for a long time, but I couldn’t guess what she was thinking. I was quite surprised by her reaction.
Can you meet her for lunch? I just said that to Larry yesterday. It would be embarrassing for me to ask.
Do you promise to behave yourself after I ask questions?
Be absolutely quiet, she replied, with the most charming smile.
I’ll arrange it right away
As soon as I found Sophie’s number, I waited for a long time. Anyone who speaks French must wait patiently and finally get through to my name.
As soon as I arrived in Paris, I heard that you and Larry were getting married. I wish you all happiness. I almost called because Isabel was wringing my arm hard. When I was in Paris for a short time, I wondered if Larry could have lunch at the Ritz the day after tomorrow. I would also invite Gray Isabel Eliot Tamburton.
I’ll ask Larry. He’s just here. He’s temporarily out of tone. Yeah, I’d love to.
I made a polite remark when I was sure, so I put the receiver down. At this moment, I caught a glimpse of Isabel’s strange eyes, which made me less worried.
What are you thinking? I asked her, I don’t like your expression.
I’m sorry, I-that’s the look on your face.
