Chapter 148
When William Swiss just carried Esely Lin upstairs, Maria and Cupid came back.
Hearing the sound of Cupid downstairs, William Swiss frowned, covered the quilt for her, turned around and left. When she reached the door, she stopped again.
William Swiss turned his head and went back to the bed. Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of Esely Lin, a satisfied smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Then he turned around and strode away.
Downstairs, Cupid curled up on the sofa. William Swiss could only see his back.
The little guy huddled up and nobody knew what he was doing.
Curious, William Swiss walked up to him and asked, “little guy, what are you doing?”
When he walked to Cupid, Cupid quickly leaned against the back of the sofa.
“No… nothing.”
There seemed to be something wrong.
William Swiss raised his eyebrows and asked, “what are you doing?”
“Well, I’m just not doing anything!”
The more Cupid avoided him, the more curious William Swiss became.
“Come on, let me have a look.”
“No way!”
“Hurry up.”
“No, I can’t.”
“You little guy!” William Swiss had to give up as he really didn’t want to show it to others. She turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Maria was surprised to see him.
Mr. Swiss seldom came to the kitchen.
“Sir.” she greeted him with a smile.
William Swiss smiled, “Maria, Esely Lin doesn’t look well these days.”
Hearing that, Maria’s face became serious. She nodded and said, “yes. It should be because of the blood loss last time. I haven’t made up for it.”
“Oh,” William Swiss didn’t understand. “Then buy some good food to strengthen her body.”
“I know it.” Maria rubbed her hands with a clean cloth and pointed at the things on the desk. “Look, I went to the vegetable market today and asked someone to kill a few dove. I’m going to make soup for Esely Lin tonight to strengthen her body.”
William Swiss took a look at the red bag, in which there was a thick rose and a pigeon that hadn’t been washed. It was better not to look at it.
So he nodded, took out a stack of bills and put them on the table.
“Sir, what do you mean?” Maria was startled and thought that William Swiss wanted to fire her.
“Take these. Esely Lin needs money to replenish her health.”
“Oh, that’s not so much.” the stack of money was at least ten thousand or twenty thousand.
“Take it. You have been working hard these days.” William Swiss didn’t care about it and left the kitchen.
Maria felt embarrassed, but she had to listen to him. So she put the money away and kept it for him to study when Cupid grew up.
Anyway, this Mr. Swiss is really not a bad man.
He was not only handsome, but also easy-going. He was not as arrogant as others, but also very generous. He was so happy to have him take care of Esely Lin.
Maria smiled.
Esely Lin was still asleep. Subconsciously, she felt someone pinching her nose.
Who was so annoying? I’m still sleeping!
“HMM… HMM…”
Esely Lin reached out her hand, trying to get rid of that annoying hand. Unexpectedly, her hand was grabbed.
“Little lazy pig, are you still sleeping? You are almost a sleeping beauty.”
The man’s gentle and deep voice rang in her ears, making the sleeping woman have to open her eyes.
What came into her sight was the bewitching face of William Swiss.
William Swiss was smiling gently at her. “Get up and have dinner.”
“Okay,” Esely Lin yawned and stretched. “How long have I slept?”
William Swiss stood by the bed, tall and handsome.
“It’s not a long time. If you don’t get up, my hair will be grey.”
“Haha.”
Esely Lin laughed, nodded and got out of bed.
William Swiss walked ahead, followed by Esely Lin.
At the door, William Swiss suddenly stopped, turned his head, stretched out his big hand and extended it to her.
He was waiting for her to hold his hand.
Esely Lin raised her chin with a smile and handed her small hand in.
During dinner, Maria specially observed the expression on Esely Lin’s face. She wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
After dinner, William Swiss went to the study, while Esely Lin took Cupid with her.
“Look, these knights are defending their homeland and territory…”
In Cupid’s room, the mother and son were lying on the sofa. Esely Lin held Cupid in her arms and taught him some books that boys liked to read.
Maria knocked on the door and came in. Esely Lin greeted, “Maria, you haven’t gone to bed yet.”
Cupid also stood on the sofa, stretched out his arms and embraced Maria.
Maria nodded and said to Cupid with a smile, “Cupid, can you play for a while? I have something to tell my little mother.”
“Okay,” replied Cupid, who was sensible enough to play with the toys alone.
“Maria, what’s the matter?” Esely Lin asked curiously and followed Maria out.
“Esely Lin, something is wrong with you recently,” Maria asked worriedly.
Esely Lin touched her face and smiled, “really? Is everything okay?”
Maria shook her head. “It has been a while. I just thought that you haven’t had a good rest. And today you are so sleepy. I’m afraid…”
She stopped and looked at Esely Lin with inquiring eyes.
Confused, Esely Lin blinked her eyes with the same suspicion.
Maria sighed and asked, “Esely Lin, how long has it been since you came?”
Esely Lin took a deep breath.
It turned out that Maria wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
She calculated in silence. It was indeed a week late.
“Really?” Esely Lin murmured to herself.
“Let’s go to the hospital,” said Maria nervously.
Esely Lin patted her forehead. How could she forget what happened every month!
But it was impossible. She had taken safety precautions when she was with him. In other words, she would occasionally loaf on something recently.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
It couldn’t be so accurate!
“What are you thinking about?”
William Swiss had been depressed since she entered the room.
“Oh? Nothing.” Esely Lin came to herself and faltered.
William Swiss thought she was really tired and didn’t ask any more questions. He just held her in his arms and was about to go to bed.
After a long time, Esely Lin still couldn’t fall asleep. Her mind was tortured by that thing. But the man next to her breathed evenly.
What should she do if she really had one?
