45 Sad Althea
"But...... Isn't that a good thing? ”
Malone blinked, not understanding what Vera meant—didn't she want to live alone?
"If we settle here, I'll have to get up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, and Maria is still young, so it's not convenient for me to always follow me in the kitchen, and I think someone can take care of her for me...... Actually, I don't need to take care of it, Maria is very well-behaved, as long as someone is in the house, I am relieved, so ......"
Vera said with some embarrassment.
"That's ...... so"
Marlon understood what Vera meant, groaned and began to think.
If Malone said that he didn't have a reverie just now, he would definitely be lying - there is no doubt that Vera is a beautiful lady, and although she is a widow and has a daughter, this marriage did not turn her into a yellow-faced woman, but gave her a more charming maturity/maturity/style/rhyme.
Malone had festivistically thought that Vera had invited him for some personal reason, but now it seems that ...... The mother seemed to be just looking for a babysitter for her daughter - a part-time job, only in the morning.
Thinking about it from another angle, Malone found that he had nothing to worry about - the refugees all got along well with each other, and it seemed that no one would deliberately say any rumors, so ......
"Well, if Vera you don't mind."
Ma Long is not too pretentious, and directly gave an affirmative answer - follow the local customs, after all, the folk customs of Stormwind City are more open/open, if Ma Long continues to hesitate, it will seem that he is a thief.
"Then it's settled, Sir Lothar!"
Vera seemed happy, her face was full of smiles, and the moonlight and light mixed on her long blond hair, and there was a dazzling feeling.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Maria ran to Vera in high spirits and waited for her to feed her bread, and when she noticed her mother's smile, the little girl immediately asked aloud.
"Nothing...... By the way, Maria, from today onwards, Rubes will be living in our house, and you will be able to play with him at any time! ”
Vera said to her daughter with a smile as she broke the bread into pieces with her long, slender fingers and handed it to Maria.
"Really? That...... Can I sleep with it in my arms? ”
There was an expectant look in Maria's eyes.
Malone couldn't help but smile - for every little girl, plush toys are their childhood playmates; Maria didn't have a stuffed animal, but Rubos ...... If this giant wolf didn't open its mouth, it would be no different from those dolls.
"Of course not......"
Vera glanced at the huge Rubos, and quickly cut off her daughter's idea that the house she lived in had only two bedrooms, one for Sir Lothar and one for herself and Maria...... If the daughter slept with Rubos in her arms, wouldn't that mean that the giant wolf would climb onto her bed/onto her?
Although she was no longer as worried about Rubos as she had been at the beginning—after all, she was used to seeing him docile—Vera was still a little scared when she remembered the first time she saw the wolves.
"Oh......"
Maria nodded in disappointment, and silently ate the bread that Vera had prepared for her.
"Marlon...... Are you really ...... Really want to live with Sister Vera? ”
Althea had always been by Marlon's side, and of course heard every word he and Vera had ever spoken; It was only now that the girl stammered and asked her concerns.
"Ahem...... It's not living together, it's living in the same house...... No, it's not ...... Altea, what are you thinking, of course we live in different rooms! ”
Malone glanced at Vera, who was feeding her daughter, and then lowered her voice and said to Althea.
"I know, but ......"
Althea argued weakly, her eyes dodging, not daring to make eye contact with Marlon or glance at Vera.
Hearing that Marlon was going to live in Vera's house, even though she knew that it was just a closer "neighbor relationship", Althea still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she even had some bad premonitions.
But for a simple girl, she didn't have the courage to say what she thought, because she didn't want Marlon to feel like a troublesome girl, and ...... Vera had a good relationship with her after all, and she felt that she shouldn't put those thoughts on Vera.
As Vera's friend, Althea knows how much she misses her dead husband; The girl felt guilty for her somewhat ill-hearted thoughts just now, which also made her stammered in front of Ma Long, and she couldn't say a complete sentence at all.
When dinner was over and the refugees dragged their tired bodies and excited to their new home in Nighttown, Althea could only stand at the door of the town hall with her father, watching from afar as Marlon and Vera walked to Vera's quarters.
"Althea, you ......"
Ero Eberlock sensed his daughter's troubled thoughts, and he wanted to comfort Althea.
"I ...... I'm tired, go to sleep first, good night, father. ”
Didn't wait for Elo Eberlock to say anything. Althea interrupted him, said goodnight, and hurried into the town hall.
Running towards her bedroom, Althea felt a sad feeling in her heart, as if something was holding on to her chest, no matter how much she rubbed it, it couldn't be dissipated, she just wanted to throw herself on her bed / and cry.
However, as she passed by a room, Althea stopped; She walked slowly into the room, came to the great desk, picked up the dagger without the scabbard, looked at it carefully through the moonlight through the window, and then held the dagger tightly in her hand, and walked towards her room.
If Marlon had seen such a scene, he would have warned Althea of the danger of doing so; However, he was not at the town hall, but stood in Vera's house with Maria in his arms.
The little girl leaned on Marlon's shoulder, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep; With a little baby fat face, the slight breath spit on Marlon's neck made him have a slight itch.
"Asleep?"
Lighting a candle placed on the round table in the living room, Vera tiptoed over to Marlon's side and asked softly.
"Well, it seems like yes......"
Malone also lowered his voice and replied.
"The bedroom is upstairs, Sir Lothar, I'll hold her!"
Vera said as she tried to take her daughter from Marlon's arms.
"I'll come, be careful not to wake her up."
Marlon shook his head, letting Vera out of the way, then hugged Maria and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
