Chapter 18: Bella's Curiosity
Back at Charlie's house, Liszt's second-hand Harley was grounded again, this time even more ruthlessly, I don't know when Charlie bought the big lock, and two clicks on the tires, which is simply heartbreaking.
"Why skipping school?"
After dealing with Bella's affairs and coming to "interrogate" Liszt, Charlie felt that his father was not good, and his hair fell out a little, which was sad.
"Lately, there have been wild beasts attacking humans, so I wanted to renovate my home."
"Retrofit? How to modify, are you going to build a military fortress? Charlie was about to laugh at Liszt's words.
"No, I just installed some headlights, I can see more clearly at night, and I also bought a set of diesel generators, so I don't need to pay more for electricity."
Liszt moved the generator to Charlie's basement, and in Liszt's mind, it was better not to expose the secret basement he had built himself, if it was necessary.
Charlie was a little embarrassed by Liszt, why did the bastard kid add a special sentence "Don't pay more electricity bills" at the end, I was almost that...... Well, save money and take Bella on a trip, this time I won't go to California, do you want to take Liszt with you?
It's good to crook Charlie House.
"The headlights are useless, the beast seems to be out during the day, which is different from the previous ones." Charlie said smoothly.
"Before?" Bella noticed the keyword, "So this isn't the first one?"
Liszt shrugged: "This doesn't say anything Charlie, maybe it's another beast, Fox is surrounded by mountains." ”
What can Charlie say, anyway, the pretending is already installed, and there is no need to bear additional expenses, and there is no gas money, no matter what, God doesn't know when it will be used.
"Is there any progress on today's investigation?"
Liszt didn't want Charlie to dwell on this issue anymore, trying to change the topic, and at the same time wanted to ask Charlie about the latest news, although it was unlikely, it was better than doing nothing, and to his surprise, Bella also looked at Charlie curiously.
Charlie was asked, and in the face of the two curious babies, he replied a little hesitantly: "No progress, deceased...... Hey Liszt, I can't tell you what's going on, it's not your business. ”
Well, Charlie was playing above board, Charlie didn't want to, but he just learned about the case from John, and before he could investigate, he was discovered by Will, and then Charlie, who was not called, could only call home, and happened to receive a phone call, Bella had a car accident.
"Liszt, have your package."
Bella prepares dinner in the kitchen, which makes Bella a little squarer after eating Liszt's Chinese food, and she still has some confidence in her cooking skills before that.
Charlie turned into a porter to help Liszt carry the sun lamps in the basement to the outside of the house, which Liszt secretly ran home and moved out, which was originally prepared for two pickup trucks.
Charlie gasped and moved the last sunlamp down from the basement and complained to Liszt in a rare way: "Why put them in the basement, aren't they to be loaded in the car?" ”
Liszt behaved very innocently: "I want to too, I don't know how the hardware store shipped so quickly today, your car is not there, I have to put these in the basement after loading the upstairs, otherwise there is another place to put it, Charlie, I originally thought you were going to be in Mason County again tonight." ”
Charlie looked at Liszt's busy figure and didn't know what to say, this explanation seems to be fine, but how can I hear that it seems to be my fault?
Liszt lay on his Chinese-style hard bed, sent an INS "the goods have been received" to Abigaia in New York, and then listened to music with headphones on and waited to sleep, only to be interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Bella, why are you here?"
Seeing that it was Bella who knocked on the door, Liszt was a little confused, and then reacted and slammed the door shut again, then lowered his head and checked it carefully, whew~ Fortunately, the clothes haven't been taken off (alas~ Why haven't I taken it off, my figure can show off! )
Sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, Liszt reopened the door: "Please come in." After saying that, he looked at the house behind the left with his head in a weak heart, he was really afraid that Charlie, who was wearing pajamas, would suddenly come over with Winchester.
"I didn't expect you to come up, is there anything I can help you with?"
Of course, Liszt also hopes that his character will explode, so God will send it tonight...... It was Bella who wanted to give benefits, but reason told him that it was completely overthinking.
Bella didn't speak, but looked around curiously about the interior of Liszt's treehouse.
The pure wood structure, simple decoration, there is nothing amazing, but it exudes a natural atmosphere, in short, Bella is quite satisfied.
"Do you know someone from the Cullens, Liszt?"
After getting a glimpse of the treehouse life she had been curious about, Bella went straight to the point and asked the purpose of her bold act without concealing it.
"Who are you talking about? Carlisle or Alice or Roselie?"
"Edward Cullen"
"Edward? Bella, you're going to be without a boyfriend!"
Bella looked at Liszt suspiciously, unsure of the connection between the two.
"You shouldn't mention the name of another guy who is so handsome that he has no friends in front of a handsome guy, it will be friendless."
Liszt's funny tone amused Bella, who made Bella, who wanted to keep it serious, look at Liszt with disgust, and the latter laughed twice and stopped being funny, and stretched out his hand to signal to continue.
Please start your question.
"I saw Edward suddenly appear in front of me and push away the car that crashed into me, and I remember very well how far Edward had been before that."
Liszt didn't know what to say with his palm, he couldn't blame Edward for almost revealing his identity, Edward saved Bella's life.
"What are you suspecting Bella? He saved you!"
Liszt didn't answer directly, he was thinking about whether to confess to Bella about the vampire, first of all, Liszt definitely didn't want Bella to have anything to do with the vampire, but this was probably an extravagant hope.
In addition to the Cullens, there are other vampires coming to Fawkes, and unless Bella is not staying in Fawkes, they will meet sooner or later.
"I wonder how he did it."
"I don't know, maybe it's adrenaline, you know he has a father who is a doctor."
"No, it can't be." Bella clearly didn't believe Liszt's words, "Also, while I was in the hospital, I accidentally overheard a conversation between Mr. Carlisle, Roselie, and Edward, and listened to their conversation as if they weren't interested in Edward's sudden adrenaline rush. ”
"And I noticed that Edward's pupils were black, very deep black, giving people a wicked cold feeling, which made people shudder, but now I see that his eyes are brown."
Liszt was disapproving: "It's nothing Bella, my pupils are also black, have you watched too many TV series recently?"
"I don't have Liszt, why do I always feel like you're lying, you must know some inside story."
"The inside story is that they're all superhumans, so everything makes sense easily."
Of course, this is Liszt's nonsense, Bella is dissatisfied with Liszt's perfunctory but helpless, what Liszt doesn't want to tell her, no matter how much she grinds, it's just in vain.
"Bella, stay away from Edward and the Cullens!"
