In the Pacific Room.
Tyler was still stitching the body of the deceased lying on the rail, he caught Elisa coming in and asked through a mask: “What are you doing here again?”
She didn’t answer him instead he asked him, “When will you finish with your work?”
” Soon. Then repair ornament can be sent to the funeral home.”
“Yeah.” She replied listlessly and set aside.
He glanced at her sideways, speeding up the movements of his hands.
Half time later, he put together the corpse brought to him to open up the funeral home pick-up car.
Seeing the car was far away, Tyler asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I feel uncomfortable, I want to talk to you.”
“You can only chat with me with dead people. I have a lot of experience with this.”
Elisa White: “…”
**
Tyler took Elisa home.
He owns a piece of land on the outskirts of the city, built a three-story building, and a garden.
The mortuary division of income is not low, people in there were also willing to spend money, so rather not put money, to take care of their own place to live very well.
The garden was so brilliant you can see a lot of flowers.
Elisa nestled on the round swing in the garden and didn’t want to move.
He rolled his eyes, opened the door into the house took a bunch of food.
Elisa stared blankly at the flower in front of her, rubbed her face, and wanted to cheer up, but her mood was still not high.
Tyler went back to where she is holding a snack, beer, and milk. “Here. It this then after you finished go home.”
” I want to drink beer.”
” Beer it is.”
As Tyler spoke, he took a sip of beer and looked at Elisa provocatively.
Elisa silently went and eat her dinner snack.
After the two of them had eaten, Tyler said: ” Let’s talk, what’s bothering you again?”
“It’s just a girl’s heart suddenly. brother, what is your stand regarding the marriage of two people?”
” I don’t know what to say because I don’t intend to get married?”
“You really don’t want to get married?”
He lazily looked at her, ” Which girl will marry me? She does not feel unlucky, her family will not be happy.”
” Whatever your job is, people will die. It would be so bleak to die without an embalmer.”
“Stop, no one thinks like you do, ah, just drink your beer.”
She sighed, ” today was really exhausting, do not laugh at me ah.”
“Don’t laugh, just continue.”
She was still drinking. They both chatted while walking, they were very relaxed very comfortable with each other’s company.
It seemed that she had always been like this when she stayed with him.
**
Elisa stayed till nine pm in Tyler’s home. She went home but she still doesn’t know what to do with the words she heard today.
Before, she knew that William married her because of Bruce. As she got along these days, she gradually forgot about this and imagined that maybe her husband would like her a little bit too.
Today she intended to know what he truly felt for her.
This frustrated her big time.
If it were an equal marriage, she would roll up her sleeves and go to have a fight with William.
But now, she really did not dare to make a noise, for fear that she would not be able to bear the consequences.
Elisa parked the car in the yard and saw that there was still a small light left in the villa.
She entered the villa and saw him.
William asked: ” Are you working overtime again?”
she to think for a moment, and said: “No.”
“Why did you come back so late?”
“I want to talk to you about something.”
He looked at her suspiciously, with questions in his eyes like black stones.
He pointed to the side edge of the sofa, “sit here.”
She sat down not looking at him and said: ” I? We cannot sleep together anymore.”
” Why? ”
” I will be uncomfortable.”
William was silent for a moment, probably knowing the reason, ” Did Gwen call you this afternoon?”
She didn’t answer his question, but she said: ” I have married you because of Bruce. But still, marriage is sacred and I have enough respect for our parents. Because of your identity, we have had a lot of conveniences and you eased my crisis. I am very grateful to you. In my heart, I actually hope that it is not a mutually beneficial relationship. This maybe I’m so whimsical.”
William doesn’t know what to do with the little woman beside him.
People like her can definitely lose their lives in doing business.
“Are you in love with me?”
She looked so tensed, ” I think so. Our relationship started so I think I am and will have to fall in love with you, I will be very bleak. William, if you do not intend to fall in love with me also do not show any interest, sweetness, gestures that will put my heart at risk. My heart can’t take it.”
William rolled his eyes silently. It was the first time that a woman told him that.
He had wanted to say a few hard words, but as he looked at the little woman’s eyes as bright as the stars, he just swallowed it.
Elisa saw that he did not spoke anything so she continued: ” of you still will do it. My heart will probably fall for you more. William if you don’t owe to catch me please stop what you’re doing. It will only get worse if not”
After speaking, Elisa didn’t wait for William to say anything and ran upstairs with her bag in her hand.
When he went upstairs, she had already moved her pillow and quilt to the ground.
William kicked her where her butt is, ” Don’t you want to take a shower?”
“I took a shower in the dormitory. Yes, I can usually hit the ground floor, to the aunt’s bed.”
” If I would make it?”
“Do you have any conscience? Don’t you know that when a woman became older, her body is easy to catch cold? If you don’t let me sleep in bed, I will easily get back pain when I get old.”
” No I don’t have” He dropped the word and with his two feet, he went inside the bathroom to take a bath.
She looked at his husband’s back, with an urge to punch his face.
**
The next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that she actually woke up in bed.
She pinched herself and found that she was not dreaming.
William looked at her with a faint smile, ” Doctor Elisa, what is this? He said no, but her body was honest, eh?” she was mocking her.
” Be honest, I’m just not used to sleeping on the floor, and I won’t be like this next time. ” She was embarrassed to death, and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash.
**
After a few days, Elisa was still sleeping on the hard floor and is waking up in bed in the morning.
Therefore, she was despised by her husband every day.
She thought that she was sleepwalking every night, so she was nervous for several days, afraid one day she fell asleep directly onto her husband’s body.
On Friday night Elisa was still sleeping on the hard floor but the difference was she was covered with a quilt and was pretending to be asleep.
William was busy in the study until 11 o’clock in the evening, and when he returned to the room, he saw that the little woman had been wrapped in a silkworm chrysalis, sleeping soundly.
