Guy De Maupassant The Necklace Pdf

Ça faisait sept ans que j'étais avec André Gaudreau, mon fiancé, chirurgien. On avait organisé 66 mariages, mais à chaque fois, il avait tout annulé à cause de Célia Allard. La première fois, Célia avait fait une erreur de dosage à un patient. Il m'avait dit d'attendre son retour. Je l'avais attendu toute la journée. La deuxième fois, Célia était tombée dans sa douche. On était sur le point d'échanger les alliances, mais il était parti sans hésiter, me laissant face aux rires des invités. On avait enchaîné 65 cérémonies. À chaque fois, Célia trouvait une excuse pour le faire partir. La 65e fois ? Son chien était soi-disant mourant, et elle menaçait de se suicider. Ma mère avait failli faire une crise cardiaque de rage. Mais rien n'avait retenu André... Après, il était venu s'excuser à genoux. Il disait qu'il avait juste pitié pour Célia, parce qu'elle était orpheline. Que moi, j'étais la seule qu'il aimait vraiment. Je lui avais donné une dernière chance. Il m'avait encore déçue. J'ai définitivement tiré un trait et ai quitté André pour rejoindre une ONG médicale. « Désormais, inutile qu'on se revoie », me suis-je dit.

I was dressed in his favorite red dress, waiting for him, when the phone rang. "Mr. Costello was shot at the harbor. The bullet went through the back of his head. He died on the spot."
