Chapter 784 The Place of Silence
Quiet, deathly quiet, the whole room was empty without a single sound. It was so terrifying and so quiet that I couldn’t help but hold my breath, lest my own voice disturb the silence. , that kind of depression and frustration weighed heavily on my chest.
Jeff Gallas never knew mornings at home could be so quiet.
If it were normal, you should be able to hear Jenna's nagging and Annie's protest at this moment. Annie always wants to try some junk food, but Jenna always refuses on the grounds of health. The war between the two people will never be Finish.
The sound of the engine of the school bus stopping at the door will be the beginning of another argument. Annie hopes to go back to school, but Jenna always thinks that Annie's current body does not allow it, and then Annie will look at him for help.
Closing his eyes, Jeff's mouth was full of bitterness——
"Dad, I don't even have many friends. I don't know any of the kids in school. If things go on like this, I won't be able to invite anyone to my funeral."
Then Jenna would give Anne such a stern lecture that she couldn't hear the word funeral.
So what if Jeff just let Annie eat some junk food with a sigh in his chest, and what if he just let Annie go back to school and enjoy school life like children of the same age...Are they too selfish?
Such silence is unbearable.
An unknown fire broke out, and Jeff just wanted to find someone to quarrel with.
No reason.
Raising his head suddenly, Jeff saw Jenna in front of him, who was busy making breakfast, but stopped in her busy schedule, standing there in a daze, her eyes focused on nothingness, her soul had long since disappeared. Gone, there is no sadness, no pain, just a void.
The anger was blocked in his chest, but it all dissipated in the end.
Jeff was a little annoyed and dropped his fork depressedly.
Clang.
The fork and plate collided with a crisp sound, which was particularly loud in the quiet room, like thunder.
Jenna woke up with a start, her whole body trembled, but she hurriedly covered up her panic, pretended to continue busy, and said in a panic.
"Okay, okay, it'll be fine soon."
Seeing Jenna trying her best to pretend that everything was normal, her breath was pressed against Jeff's chest. He also lowered his head in panic to hide his sight, lest he accidentally reveal the fear and sadness in his eyes.
After a while, Jeff stood up and whispered.
"I just remembered that there is a meeting this morning. I'd better rush there as soon as possible. For breakfast, I will solve it after I get to the company."
Jenna was still trying to dissuade her, "I'll make you a sandwich right now..."
Jeff waved his hand, "No need."
Turning around, he took long strides, almost running away. He just wanted to leave here, leave this suffocatingly quiet space.
With a sudden movement, he opened the door. Just as Jeff was about to rush out, he saw Levi in front of him, who was about to knock on the door. Both of them were stunned.
Jeff's eyes widened and he was at a loss, his voice stuck in his throat.
Levi showed a polite smile, "Are you ready to go to work so early?"
Jeff shook his head and nodded, his mind a mess, "You... Levi... I mean, why are you here?"
Levi poked inside, "I came here specifically to visit you, but if you are busy, I can come back in the afternoon or tomorrow."
Jeff, "Oh, no, that's okay, that's all right now, what can I do for you? Sorry, please come in, it's not the way to treat guests by having them stand at the door."
Incoherently, Jeff stepped aside and welcomed Levi into the home.
As soon as he came in, Levi saw Jenna coming out of the kitchen.
Levi felt sad for a while. It's not because Jenna is sloppy and messy, on the contrary, Jenna has returned to her usual neat and elegant appearance, her hair is tied up meticulously, she even puts on makeup and a little makeup, everything is no different from usual.
It can be seen that Jenna is doing her best to keep her life as it is——
It's like Annie never left.
Not to mention the Gallas, even Levi doesn't have any real feelings now, Anne is no longer here.
Subconsciously, Levi looked down the stairs directly in front of the door to the second floor. After waiting for a moment, there was no movement. Levi could only look away in a dignified manner.
"Hey, Jenna, I'm sorry for disrupting your plans so early in the morning." Levi smiled and said hello.
Jenna waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, we are getting ready to have breakfast, do you want to join us?"
Levi, "Although I really want to, I have already had breakfast before coming here and I need to go to the team in a while. If I don't want to vomit during training, I'd better control myself."
A small joke to lighten the atmosphere a little.
But soon it was quiet again, and there was a terrible void.
Jeff quickly sent out an invitation and asked Levi to go to the restaurant where it was convenient to sit down.
At a glance, Levi saw three sets of tableware neatly placed on the dining table.
The Gallas couple got busy, boiling water and looking for tea leaves. Even though Levi repeatedly said no, they still insisted on being busy.
After some tossing, a cup of green tea brewed with Lipton tea bags was placed in front of Levi. Levi was a little dumbfounded, but he did not refuse the kindness.
Jeff took a seat opposite Levi, but Jenna stood aside leaning on the sink, and then fell into awkward silence again. Even Levi could detect this torturous silence.
Everything, just like Anne said.
Therefore, Anne knew her parents and accurately predicted the future.
Levi tasted a touch of bitterness on the tip of his tongue, but he still showed a smile, "Jenna, please sit down, you really don't need to keep standing."
Jenna refused, but looked at Levi's insistence and finally sat down.
Li Wei was thinking and debating, how to open the topic?
This is somewhat difficult.
Taking a deep breath, Levi went straight to the point, "Jeff, Jenna, this Sunday, we will face the New England Patriots at Arrowhead Stadium. I hope you can come and watch the game live."
The Gallas couple were stunned. They had not expected Levi's intention at all. They couldn't help exchanging glances, but neither of them had any clue.
Jenna looked at Levi, "Thank you, I really appreciate the invitation, but..."
Before she finished speaking, Jenna could see Levi showing a wry smile.
Although Jenna was a little confused, she continued without pausing, "We can't accept it. To be honest, the two of us don't understand rugby at all, that is, we just join in the fun. I don't know the rules of rugby now, and I don't understand a group of people." What’s the point of banging around on the court.”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything against you. I'm the same with all sports and I don't see the point. So let's not waste this opportunity and give it to the fans who like football."
"Karen, Karen and Felix are going to love it."
Levi waited quietly for Jenna to finish speaking, and looked at Jeff again. Jeff nodded in affirmation, which made Levi let out a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, Anne was right."
