CHAPTER XVII
For dinner, Shak deliberately turned off the lights in the dining room and lit two large candles on the large candelabra in the middle of the dining table β the atmosphere was warm and romantic.
"Honey, a toast to the success of our plans." He raised his glass and said to Dilly.
Deli raised her glass and touched it with Shak, and the two of them drank it down.
"I haven't had dinner with you in half a year - but it's worth it for our plans." Shak said as he poured wine into two more glasses.
Deli smiled faintly and did not speak.
Shak stared at Dili for a moment and said, "Why, my dear, our plan has succeeded, but you don't seem very happy?" β
Deli took a sip of her glass and said, "I just think that although I am playing, Gray is sincere to me - I lied to him, and I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." β
Shak was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, Deere. But when you think about it, we're together now, and we have such a big and luxurious house β what a wonderful thing! So, stop thinking about the things that make you unpleasant, okay? β
"One more thing, I didn't tell him the truth." "Grey didn't know that this villa was actually by French architect Nomi Louworth, and it was the only house he had designed and built in China!" Of course, Shak, we know what that means! β
"That means it's worth far more than two million, and if it's auctioned publicly, it might fetch more than ten million - but isn't that what we're doing for this purpose?"
Dee Li sighed softly, "Yes, we succeeded, but I can't imagine how angry Gray will be when he finds out about it." β
"Deely, you're worried too much about him." Shak was a little upset, "Let's stop talking about him, okay?" β
Deli nodded, and they were silent for a while.
After a while, Deli raised her eyes and said, "Shak, I'm a little confused, why did you agree to leave Kaz behind?" It might be uncomfortable for me to see it. β
"But that discomfort is of our own making, and has nothing to do with Kaz himself - it's a sensible good dog, that's what you say, don't you?"
Deeley's lips were tightly closed, forming a line, and she nodded helplessly in acquiescence.
"Mrs. An's 100,000 yuan, did you give it to her?" Deeli asked.
"Yes, I gave it to her yesterday afternoon." "Actually, thanks to Mrs. Ann this time, we wouldn't have known anything about the house without her." β
"Indeed, the information fee of 100,000 yuan and the cooperation fee are really reasonable." Dee Li nodded.
Half an hour later, they finished their dinner, and after that, they sat on the leather sofa in the living room and watched TV.
At ten o'clock, Deeli felt tired, and she said to Shak, "We slept." β
Shaq nodded in agreement, and he got up to turn off the TV.
They went to the bathroom on the second floor to wash, and when Deli saw Kaz lying obediently in the dog house, she squat down and stroked its long hair, and said, "Kaz, good dog, I wronged you a few days ago, and drank that kind of milk mixed with stimulants." From today onwards, you don't have to drink that anymore. β
As she spoke, Deli took out a new carton of milk from the small cabinet next to her, opened it, poured it into Kaz's bowl, and said, "Tonight, we all have a good night's sleep." β
After that, she stood up and washed her face and mouth. Then he closed the bathroom door and walked with Shak to the second-floor bedroom.
Lying on the soft bed, Shak and Deli were even more tired, and they fell asleep in less than ten minutes.
I don't know how long I slept, but Dili was woken up by some small voices.
She opened her eyes in confusion, judging the direction of the sound.
After a few seconds, she could tellβthe voice of Sissy Soso coming from the bedroom doorβshe couldn't tell what it was, it was a bit like ......
Suddenly, Dilly's hairs stood on end, and she noticed that the sound was like the sound of someone gently inserting a key into the lock.
Dee Li felt creepy, and she was about to wake up Shak beside her, when she suddenly saw the bedroom door slowly pushed open.
She wanted to shout, but her throat felt like it was blocked, and she couldn't make any sound. She could only keep her eyes wide in horror and watch motionless as the door gradually opened......
The door was completely open, but it was pitch black and there was no one at all. Deely's nerves were like a string about to break.
Suddenly, a dog's head popped up next to the bed, and Kaz slowly stood upright like a human, with an apron tied to its body and a frying pan in its paws. It approached Deely's face and asked softly, "What's breakfast today?" β
