<h4>49 Anna''s Pas</h4>
Anna Jones took in everything that Hou Yi has to say about his family and past rtionships.She was surprised that there was only three serious rtionships and how in two, the women involved were out to use him.Steve and Mary Kent however sound a wonderful pair of friends, and she cannot wait to meet them.
Anna took a deep breath."Well my history is a lot different than yours.As to how my parents met, their marriage is a second marriage for each of them.I have two half brothers from my father''s first marriage, Ben and Adam, neither of who have married.I have a half sister from my mother''s first marriage Susan, who married Wayne Adamson.They have three children.Ben and Adam, both work on farms, Susan is a nurse, and Wayne is a truck driver.All live within an hour''s drive of Mum and Dad in Warrnambool.I also have a younger brother James.James took a couple of years off study to work, however he has gone to the local university to study nursing and has a year to go on his degree.He lives at home with Mum and Dad.Dad works for the council, and mum due to an injury retiredst year from being an aged care worker.I am the only child that has, as they say flown the coop."
"At school, I was bright enough that I skipped one yearpletely, and finished year 12 when I was only 16.Both my primary and secondary education were at a local private school that covered both primary and secondary schooling.My marks were such that I received offers for fully paid schrships to Universities in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Canberra, and Hobart.I opted, so I could get away from home to study in Hobart, where Ipleted abined Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of was degree.It was in my second year when I first met Lu Jinhu.He was older than me but was in his first year of amerce degree and was staying at the same residential college that I was.Due to my marks, the university after my first year let me take study overloads that allowed me toplete my undergraduate degree by age 20, but still graduate with first ss honours inw, and then the professional qualification, which was still covered under my schrship."
"Lu Jinhu, finished his study a couple of months after Ipleted my professional qualification, by which time I had relocated to Melbourne andmenced work at ANX Lawyers, where I have been since.I have been informed that the partners are considering asking me to buy into the partnership in the next couple of years."
"As to Lu Jinhu and my rtionship we started out as friends, but within months, wemenced dating.At university, he kept pressuring me for a sexual rtionship, but I continued to refuse him as I believed he was only ying with me, given how he flirted with other women, and made it clear that he needed tomit to our rtionship before I would consider that.It was when he moved to Melbourne onpleting his undergraduate degree, that things changed.I saw his move as romantic, and that it was a sign he wasmitting to a rtionship."
"However, based on what he said today, that was more because I was gullible and easily manipted, rather than amitment to our rtionship.It was only after he moved in that our rtionship became sexual.He has been my only sexual partner, but I often was not into the sexual side of our rtionship as he was.The only thing that I had insisted on before our rtionship became sexual was he had to be screened for sexually transmitted diseases, as I told him that this was something that he had to do for me to trust him.Those tests came back clean.As of 8 weeks ago, when I had my annual physical as required by work, the screening then showed that I had no sexually transmitted diseases.In Melbourne he undertook further study at Monash University, and despite his parents'' financial assistance never seemed to have money.I was the one responsible for managing and maintaining our house."
"When he proposed 10 months ago, I was taken by surprise.I think he realised that I was considering whether or not I would end our rtionship, as I was not certain where we were going, however I epted him.Once I did this, I rmitted to the rtionship.However now I gather that this was only a ploy to extend time until he received his Australian Citizenship.As to my friends, most of them have drifted away from me, because they did not like Lu Jinhu, so the friends I have at the moment are only those he liked, but that it likely to change."
"Do you think you need to know anything more?"
"Actually, I think we have the information we each need" came Hou Yi''s reply."While I think neither of us really want to go out, we need to go to my family''s ancestral home to see my parents and grandparents."
"Yi please do not get angry there are things about how he treated me in our rtionship that I really do not want to talk about now.I will when I am ready, so I hope that you can respect that.
"That is OK.You will tell me when you are ready to do so.Do not worry."
With that Hou Yi stood up, and took Anna''s hand, and walked back towards the entrance, opening the thee doors."The door on this side, is that for the walk-in-robe, which we will share.He walked to the door closest to the bedroom/living space within the suite, and indicate, this room is designed as a walk in safe, not only to keep your jewellery in, but for us to secure things in.it automatically unlocks when Ie into the room, after scanning my thumbprint.For it to do that for you, I will arrange with the security team for your thumbprint to be encoded.The final door is the ensuite bathroom.You go and use it first.I understand that your dress is in the robe, but you will find two robes on the back of the door.While you are in the ensuite I will gather my clothes, and when you are done, take them in with me, so you can go into the robe, and get ready."
