Chapter 24: It's Too Hard

At night, the small western-style building at No. 46 Abby Cross Street, from the outside, several rooms are lit by candles.

Joyce walked with her bag and wrapped her bag until Elena opened the door with the key.

Teresa stood in the living room in a striped dress, with a soft smile on her oval face, apparently hearing movement and waiting for the two Joyces.

"Teressa, good evening. ”

If it weren't for the secret source and secret vein of the white-haired girl before, Joyce would probably really think that Teressa's personality is very gentle.

"Joyce, have you had dinner?"

The white-haired girl smiled at Joyce and Elena.

"I told the old Bolton today about the working meal at the bar, and if we can work the same working hours, maybe we can cook and eat together, so that we can feel at home. Reluctantly, Joyce welcomed the Taresa share.

Now that this is the case, there is no need to show rejection, and Joyce does want to seek protection, and it can be more reassuring to have a secret person living in the house with him.

Previously, Angela suggested that Teresa share a room, and Joyce nodded.

"I can get a good night's sleep. ”

Joyce already had the feeling that he couldn't stay up in the past two days, and he secretly had expectations in his heart.

"Joyce, I think we should talk. ”

After pounding the big bag and small wraps into the living room, Elena said to Joyce with a serious face.

"Elena, it's all yours!"

Joyce spoke, with a faint sense of weakness and indecency in the face of Elena.

"If you continue to spend like this, there will be nothing left of the money from the sale of old Rupert's cabin. Elena had the intention of settling accounts with Joyce, but he turned his head and ignored him.

After scanning Elena's goods, Joyce had twelve gold bills left in his pocket, and some silver and bronze burun, which he used as pocket money.

Joyce won't give it to Elena, there is no chance at the moment, and he is still thinking about buying some herbs and trying it in alchemy.

"It's a pity that the strange medicine tripod has melted, not only do you have to find a medicine tripod, but it is not easy to find a suitable place for refining medicine, if it is carried out in the basement, I am afraid that it will make the western-style building a miasma. Joyce walked over to the leather sofa and sat down, ignoring the two women's newly purchased clothes.

Elena knew Joyce well, and when she saw that he was ignoring him, she didn't say anything to him for the time being.

"Damn Carl, doesn't he even need to rest and sleep?"

Joyce closed his eyes and seemed to be refreshed, but he sensed that in the corner of the living room, there was a slime tree fly glowing with a faint black light that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

What made Joyce angry the most was that Carl always watched him.

In the second half of the night, the old man in the cloak obviously appeared, Joyce didn't know whether the MI people were chasing him or not, and he couldn't ask about it, so he couldn't tell anyone, but through his strange perception, he found the suspected murderer of Rupert Sr.

"The situation has changed. ”

Joyce secretly sighed that he really should find a chance to talk to Elena.

Joyce went to the bar early this morning, but didn't mention the matter of sharing with Terissa, and the other party didn't express his wishes, he thought that this was the end of the matter.

But as Elena left the Church of the Goddess of Life, Teresa didn't even say hello and stayed in a bungalow.

While Elena and Teresa went upstairs, Joyce got up and walked around the first floor as if she hadn't noticed a fly.

The kitchen stewed beef, the aroma was very strong, the meat slices were marinated, the vegetables were sprinkled with water droplets, and there were some bought ingredients and seasonings, apparently purchased by Teressa.

Joyce finally made it to the guest room on the first floor, and when she saw the lace pants and corset on the bed, she couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment on her face.

"Black. ”

Joyce muttered after leaving the cozy room, thinking more that it was not convenient to live with the two women.

"Flies have a sharper sense of smell than dogs, and it may not be necessary to be spotted, it's too difficult!" Back in the master bedroom on the second floor, Joyce closed the door, took off her tuxedo and hung it in the closet.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Joyce lay on the bed in her cloth pajamas.

"Bell! bell!"

Just when Joyce was sleepy, a slight knock on the door made him a little reluctant to face it.

"Enter. ”

Guessing that it was Elena standing outside the door, Joyce let go of the hand that was touching the holster next to the pillow, and wailed in a wail.

The door clicked open, and Elena, dressed in gray silk pajamas, entered Joyce's room with two glasses of hot milk.

"Joyce, are you asleep?"

With no candles lit in the bedroom, Elena asked Joyce.

"Not yet. ”

Joyce reluctantly got up, picked up the match on the table and lit the candle.

Even though Joyce didn't have the ability to open his eyes, he had abnormal eyesight, and he noticed that the slimefruit tree fly flew in with Elena.

"Elena, you're so beautiful, you look good in whatever you wear. "As far as Joyce knew, Elena hadn't worn such a nice dress before.

Feeling Joyce's admiring gaze, Elena pouted a little in shame, and actually went to bed to cover Joyce's quilt.

"What is this going to do!"

There wasn't much space in the cabin before, and in Joyce's memory, Elena was very wary of him.

Joyce and Elena had only slept in the same bed for a while when they had just been adopted by Rupert Sr., but they were still young at that time.

"Don't stand stupid, come and talk. ”

Seeing Joyce standing still at the table, Elena said to him dissatisfied.

"Even though the bed is big, it's always weird to talk in bed. "Joyce was at a loss, not exactly pretending.

"Bang!"

Just as Elena looked annoyed, Joyce grabbed the towel on the table, shook it at the slime tree fly that had fallen on the curtain, and slammed it to the ground, and quickly crushed it with the paper and threw it into the bathroom.

"Cow dung!"

In the bungalow at 45 Abby Cross Street, Carl, a lean man in a jacket sitting on a chair in the living room, felt like he had been hammered on the head, and he fell to the ground with his head and his chair, and his mouth burst into foul language.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bodrian Arthur, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, was surprised by Carl's sudden fall.

"Joyce kills the slimefruit tree fly that is possessed, and the hateful creature is overwhelmed by Elena's actions, but he goes after the spirit-possessed thing to relieve the embarrassment. Carl held his head in his hands, his body curled up like a prawn.

"Why didn't you pay attention, did he find something?" said Bodan Arthur, reproaching Karl for his snooping work.

"He whipped with a towel, and I couldn't react!"

Carl howled in pain, wanting the slightly chubby middle-aged man to know that watching and protecting Joyce was a sinful job.

"The ventilation duct in the bungalow before was even able to turn around, Carl, is it that the MI ** Yi has made you too relaxed?" The slightly fat middle-aged man was eager to know what kind of communication Joyce and Elena would have.

Just when the lean man Carl didn't recover for a while, in the other side of the western-style building, in Joyce's bedroom, he had already washed his hands in the bathroom and walked out.

"There are flies. ”

Joyce smirked at Elena, as if trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Come here. ”

Elena looked at the stupid look of the man in front of her and called angrily.

Under the coercion of the blonde girl's beautiful eyes, Joyce went to bed, and her expression quickly looked like an old monk, without any feeling of ape.

"Elena, I heard Mr. Briley Bolton say that you are already a secret cultivator. Joyce said calmly as she leaned back on the head of her bed.

"Old Rupert gave me the secret medicine. ”

Elena gave Joyce's response, but did not say when.

"Old Rupert has been killed, the cabin has been turned into a mess, and the other party seems to be looking for something, and it is likely that it will be our turn next. Joyce smiled, he wasn't trying to get into Elena's secrets.

In the same way, Joyce's secret will not be told to Elena, so it is good for each other.

"In the future, if you work in the military intelligence department, be careful, the salary is not so easy to get, and it will be dangerous not to say that the task will be dangerous, the military intelligence department is also staring at us, my ability is limited, and I can't help you anything, so you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't do anything." Joyce was more of a reminder to Elena.

At this time, Joyce was unsure of Elena's thoughts, especially since she came from the Church of the Goddess of Life, and out of fear of God, he would not reveal his secrets.

"Tomorrow is the funeral of old Rupert, I don't know who will pay attention openly and secretly, don't think too much, what superfluous actions there are. Joyce sighed.

"Hmm. ”

Elena nodded obediently, but to Joyce's surprise, she pulled open the quilt and got up.

"Didn't you come to me for comfort?"

Joyce thought that Elena would snuggle up to sleep with him, but she got out of bed and opened the closet and took the bills out of the tuxedo-lined pocket.

"Joyce, in the future, I will take care of the money at home, and I will deposit this money in the bank, and tell me what you want to buy. Elena grabbed the twelve gold bills and smiled beautifully.

"I'm still too young, the money has been taken away by you, and I still talk about economic freedom. Joyce looked stunned, and regretted that he had not hidden the money or deposited it in a bearer account at the bank.

"Remember to buy groceries, buy food every day, and I don't want to take advantage of Teresa as a man. Knowing that the situation was irreparable, Joyce reminded Elena.

"I have eight gold luo every month, plus your four gold luo, twelve gold luo income For a family, it is already possible to get rid of the lower class life, Joyce, do you remember Tutor Mel of Thorn Thorn Flower Academy? Her monthly salary is almost eight gold luo, and she lives in a two-story house in Moya District, in addition to daily expenses, she can also help some poor students. Elena said with a look of yearning.

"Counting the salary, I'm also a person in need of help!" Joyce listened to the more wrong it became, eager to take Elena as a thief.
