CHAPTER XIII
After waking up in the morning, Deli sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. She didn't want to change her clothes, she didn't want to wash her face and rinse her mouth, she didn't want to make breakfastβshe didn't want to do everything. She didn't know how she had survived this terrible night.
Gray sat down beside her, put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered, "Dee, I told you twenty times last night - maybe, it's just a coincidence, not what we think, there are no ghosts in this world - stop thinking about those terrible things, okay?" β
Dilly sighed, her eyes blank and said, "Gray, don't comfort me. Actually, that's not what you think, I know. From the horrified reaction I saw you last night, I knew that you were the same as I thought. β
Gray turned his face away from Dilly's gaze and didn't speak.
"Gray, we don't live here anymore, okay?" Dee Li looked at her fiancΓ© with earnest eyes, "I was thinking last night, let's go back to that little apartment." Although the conditions are not as good as here, at least there is no need to worry and be afraid! Do you know? I almost fainted when I heard you say those things last night! β
Gray frowned tightly, but did not say a word.
"Speak, Gray! What the hell do you think? Dee Li asked urgently.
"Deere, I think...... Or I'd better send Kaz to Mrs. Ann's house. Then we won't hear it at night. β
Dee Li stared at him with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief, "Gray, what are you talking about?" Do you think I'm afraid of that dog? Could it be that if you send Kaz to Mrs. Ann's house, your ex-wife's ghost will disappear from this house? What is the difference between you doing this and covering your ears and stealing the bell? β
"But, Dilly...... That little apartment, we can't go back. Gray said with a grimace.
"What?"
"The day after I moved here, I returned the apartment I had rented. Now, the landlord has rented it to someone else. β
"Oh, Gray!" "You're so quick with your hands and feet!" β
After a few seconds of silence, she said, "But it doesn't matter, if we want to move out, it's easy to rent a new house." β
"But, Dilly ......"
"What's wrong again?"
Gray bit his lip and said with some embarrassment: "I have no money, in order for us to have a good living condition, I asked workers to renovate this place before moving into this house, and it cost a lot of money." Plus I bought a new TV, air conditioner, water heater...... I'm running out of money. β
Deli looked at him anxiously, "Oh my God, Gray, don't you even have the money to rent a new house?" β
"I want to ...... Before I could save up three months' salary, it was a bit difficult. β
"That'...... What are we going to do? Always living in this haunted house? β
"Don't say that, Deere." Gray frowned, "Don't say that word I don't want to hear." β
"But ......"
"Alright, Dili, it's useless for you to be in a hurry now." "I think we'd better go downstairs first, eat breakfast, and then have a good discussion." β
Di Li nodded helplessly.
They stood up, opened the bedroom door, and walked out.
Before going downstairs, Gray remembered that he should release Kaz from the bathroom, so he walked to the door of the bathroom on the second floor and opened the door - suddenly, Gray was stunned, Kaz was not in his dog house, and he was not in the bathroom at all.
Deere, who was about to go down the stairs, saw Gray standing at the bathroom door and asked, "Gray, what's wrong?" β
Gray turned his head with a look of horror: "Kaz...... Kaz is gone! β
