Ch. 8Chapter 8: Warning


Twenty minutes later, back to the bedroom,
Arianne shuffled heavily back to the bed, curled up with the blanket like a banh chung.
She was obviously very tired, but when she lay down on the bed, she wasn't sleepy at all.
Rolling on the bed, she saw the luminous hour hand on the wall showed one o'clock in the morning. At this time, the house was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, a gust of wind blew, the window curtains fluttered with a rustling sound. Just now, being threatened to break her bile, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, pulling the blanket over her body.
She wanted to turn on the light, only to remember that the light had been dealt with at this time, it would not light at night at all, Ms. Ha once said, when there was a young master, she was not allowed to turn on the light.
Immediately afterwards, the image of Simon and Aretha together changed in his mind, and Aretha's cruel words.
She shook her head, closed her eyes, really couldn't think anymore.
There was a sudden knock on the door, she moved her body, didn't get up, but shrank into the blanket, and at the same time wiped the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand, who could be besides Christopher at this late hour?
The person who entered was indeed Christopher, in the dark she still couldn't see his face clearly, but she could feel the special unruly breath on him.
He went straight to her, pulling her out of the blankets, his big hand cupping her chin, his fingertips glaring over her face again, touching the tear on her cheek.
"I heard you're having an affair with men outside?", there was a clear displeasure in his voice.
Arianne was stunned for a moment, shaking her head instinctively in denial: "I don't have ...".
"Don't forget you're my wife now, if you want to cry, you can only cry for me, quickly swallow your tears for me", Christopher promoted his unruly personality to the fullest.
Arianne hastily wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve, retorted: "I don't cry for men".
"So what are you crying about?"
"Me…".
Christopher smiled coldly: “Is it because of me? Blame me for not going back to my mother's house with you?"
“No… um…”.
Without waiting for her to explain anything, Christopher kissed her on the lips, only the bitter taste of her lips made him very unhappy.
Moreover, the thing that annoyed him the most was that this girl pushed him away in an unpolite manner.
Arianne felt he was about to get angry, hastily explained: "Sorry, I'm not in the mood tonight...".
This was the truth, she really wasn't in the mood.
Christopher was more or less disliked, a surge of anger in his heart, then pushed her down on the bed, stroking her skin, snickering devilishly in her ear: “Not in the right mood. are not? But I'm in the mood."
"Do not…".
"I warn you, don't make me cry for another man in the future, or else… I'm in more than enough mood to punish you," Christopher said, grabbing her pajamas on top of her, pulling her with force.
With a "smack" sound, pajamas torn, Arainne felt the cold skin, she knew, he did it this time...
An hour later, the bedroom was quiet again.
Christopher finished his work and left her bedroom, probably to his own room.
She had always felt that Christopher didn't dare to face her because of her ugliness, but this was a William family secret anyway, she had no right to know.
Out of fear,
Arianne did not sleep almost all night, until it was early morning that she fell asleep. Only before she really fell asleep, the door was knocked.
The one who entered was a stiff-faced maid, the maid went to the bedside
Arianne, who also didn't care if she was daydreaming, stared at her with a serious expression and said, "Good morning, young lady, this is the medicine the young master asked me to bring you."
Arianne reached out her hand to take the pill, one look at it, it was birth control after she was done with it.
Almost at the same time, another maid also came in, brought a bowl of black oriental medicine to her face, and said quite politely: "Young lady, this is the traditional medicine that the old lady uses. deliberately told the kitchen to cook for her, told her to drink before breakfast."
The old lady William sent someone to do it, it must be related to the pregnancy support.
Looking at the birth control pill in her hand, then at the tonic in the maid's hand,
Arianne suddenly felt a little funny, two cousins are interesting, one wants her to get pregnant, the other is afraid she is pregnant, who should she listen to?
In order for the maids to keep an eye on her, she ended up drinking both.
To tell the truth, she herself did not want to have children so soon, anyway, she and Christopher had no feelings, how it would turn out in the future, I don't know.
Moreover, if Christopher really doesn't live past 30 years old as rumored, then a year later even if the ring can be removed, she can be free, not before he dies and still give him a child. son okay?
Before marrying into William's house, no one ever told Miss William anyone, a few days after the marriage, she only met the old lady.
At the breakfast table, in addition to the old lady William, there were two young girls, Ha introduced her to one of them, Selena, who is the fiancée of the owner of the last name, the other is the owner of the last name. Ame.
The two girls look beautiful and elegant, also considered as peaceful and polite.
With these minor characters,
Arianne wasn't in the mood to learn too much, just politely said hello.
Only… why is this lady with the last name Ame staring at her finger? Oh, no, she was looking at the ring on her little finger, staring with eyes that were almost greedy.
She didn't interact directly with her, but pretended to be standing in the same spot as if nothing was wrong.
Old Lady William looked at
Arianne, with a serious face: "If Christopher hadn't let you go yesterday, you certainly wouldn't have left the street so easily."
Arianne lowered her head, smiling bitterly in her heart, Christopher let her go? He just needed her body.
"Grandma, I really didn't do anything wrong to the Christophers," she explained softly.
"I'm afraid to tell you about things like this", the old lady glared at her angrily: "After having breakfast, you go back to your mother's house for me, ask your parents to teach you the basics of being a wife carefully. !”.
Back to your mother's house? Can she not come back? Because I really don't want to see the faces of those people anymore.
"Did you hear that?", the old man lost his patience.
Arianne nodded. "I heard."
After having breakfast,
Arianne reached the door of her bedroom upstairs, faintly heard someone inside discussing: "I heard that the young lady met a ghost last night, and was threatened to cry."
"I've heard that too, I heard that it's still a witch crying for the young lady to return her ring, isn't it true? Scary,” another maid said in a worried voice.
“I guess maybe, didn't the fifth wife of the young master at first also say she saw a witch asking her for a ring in the night? Moreover, he was threatened with death on the spot."
“Threatened to death on the spot? Really?".
"Shh...", the maid made a speechless posture with the other maid.
Arianne stood at the door dumbfounded, what were they talking about just now? Christopher's fifth wife also saw witches in the night? Also being asked for a ring by a female ghost? Threatened to die on the spot?
So what you saw last night was real? Is there really a ghost in William's house?
Suddenly, the hair on the body
Arianne stood up, her face also white.
When she was frozen like a wooden chicken, Ms. Ha pushed the door and entered, slapping each housekeeper who was cleaning.
The little maid cried out, seeing that Ha fell to her knees, began to cry: "Sorry, Ms. Ha, we were wrong, we shouldn't discuss these things...".
“Next time you let me hear you mention the word 'ghost' again, I'll cut your tongues out! Get out!", Sia ordered, the two maids immediately ran to pee.
Sister Sia took a deep breath, turned around, and faced
Arianne said, "Young lady, I hope you can also remember that this kind of matter is not discussed in the house."
"So... so how did the fifth wife of the young master die?"
As soon as Arianne finished her sentence, she was caught by a cold, warning look.
I thought Ha would turn her head away, but unexpectedly, she asked coldly: "Does the young lady really want to know that?".
Arianne nodded, she really wanted to know.
"The young lady first died from a recurrence of congenital heart disease", Ms. Sia stared at her, her eyes cold as knives: "If there were really ghosts in the house, the old lady would have moved out a long time ago."
It's also true, seeing Christopher after becoming sick, everyone would be threatened with losing half of their life, let alone a girl with congenital heart disease, moreover, Ms. Sia is right, if there are really any in the family. ghost, then why does the old lady want to be here?
