Chapter 12 Shadow
The car stopped.
Joseph got out of the car and walked straight into the room. Then he sat on the sofa in the living room. Looking at Lisa who was following behind, he couldn't help but frown, waved his head and said, "Hey, Lisa, I think we need to talk."
Lisa frowned and said, "I'm tired and want to go back to my room to sleep."
"Lisa, it only takes a while. If you don't talk to me now, then we will find a proper time... Regarding the matter of fun, I don't think you won't want to talk to me all the time!" Joseph said, "We need to talk."
Lisa shrugged her shoulders, walked over indifferently, sat in front of Joseph, frowned and said, "Okay, what do you want to say? About hi? Yes, I heard your conversation in the living room, I admit that I said those words to him, but so what?"
"I'm sorry, what I want to say is... why? When did it start?" After Joseph calmed down the panic in his heart, he looked at Lisa without any anger. "I need to figure it out, and you need to figure it out too. I don't want... you make an unforgivable mistake in the end."
"It started when I was very young, and since I remembered his appearance, I started. Are you satisfied with me by saying this?" Lisa said gritting her teeth, "I understand why. I know very well what I am doing."
"My God!" Joseph couldn't help but groaned, and he continued to grit his teeth, "But... but you didn't like him before. You said he was a monster in the clock tower, why... you are lying..."
"Yes, I said it, but I also said that I am Esmerada, the girl who fell in love with weirdos, that's what I am. I dated that bastard Briel just to attract his attention, and wanted him to notice me, or be jealous, or something, but... he's just a damn wood." Lisa said, and even hummed angrily, "I didn't let that bastard touch me. What I like was Huan, yes, it's him."
"After this time, I became more determined to think, Dad, if you love me, let me be with the person I love, I need your blessing, okay?" Lisa suddenly walked to Joseph, squatted down, held his hand and said, "He saved me twice, and I loved him for ten years."
Joseph shook his head in pain: "No, Lisa, you and him will not have any results. He is a principled person. He will not like you, nor will he touch you. He... He is a different person from us. Do you know the reason? This is also why he was able to save you twice in a row."
Lisa nodded and lowered her voice and said, "Yes, I know, I know he is different, and that's one of the reasons why he fascinates me. He's like a treasure..."
Joseph didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to do. When Jia Huan told him about this, he instinctively opposed it because he felt that he and Jia Huan were friends for more than ten years. Yes, this made him a little difficult to accept. But when Lisa said this, he didn't want to hurt Lisa's heart.
A little girl has been loving a man since she was a few years old, and she has been obsessed with him for ten years. She feels distressed when she thinks about it. If... if Melissa doesn't die, maybe... nothing will happen.
Joseph waved his hand, sighed, and asked Lisa to leave. Lisa looked at Joseph and went upstairs without saying a word. Yes, she finally said all of this today, and her whole body was much more relaxed.
Well, that bastard really doesn't seem to have any meaning to him.
"Damn it, what's wrong with me?" Lisa cursed, then entered the room, took out her cell phone, and dialed a phone call. She wanted to talk to her good friend Elizabeth.
The phone rang for a while and it was connected, and Elizabeth's voice came: "Hey, Lisa, I know, if there is nothing, you won't call me, dear baby, say it, I'll listen."
"Okay, that's it. What I want to say is that you know about that Chinese, you... duddu..." A blind voice came over and hung up the phone.
Lisa looked at her phone in surprise and called again unwillingly, but after the phone rang a few times, she refused to answer directly, "Damn it-" Lisa couldn't help but curse. Why did Elizabeth hung up the phone as soon as she spoke? Because the topic was about fun?
This surprised Lisa a little. Could it be that Elizabeth also fell in love with that wooden man? What's wrong with this world? Why do women like that kind of wooden man? It's not true? She couldn't help but feel a little worried about gains and losses. Her good friend and the same man she fell in love with...
"Dog shit, it's just shit!" Lisa cursed, and couldn't help but fall on the bed, cover her head and fall asleep.
Elizabeth received a call from Lisa. When she heard Jia Huan's name, she immediately hung up the phone. She is now very sensitive to the name Jia Huan and feels inexplicably panic. Yes, Jia Huan made her feel tremendous pressure, and she is still feeling tremendous threat. Maybe she should do something.
The next afternoon, Jia Huan was drinking tea with Joseph on the balcony. The tea leaves were very precious, and the two of them slowly tasted the pot of tea. Joseph sighed at Jia Huan and shook his head again.
"Old guy, I can only do my duty in Lisa's affairs. I watched her grow up, so... don't worry, she will slowly let it go. One day she will leave here or go to college..." Jia Huan smiled and took a sip of tea, "Don't worry about this. But you should have other things today."
Joseph smiled bitterly: "Yes, I actually figured out the matter of Lisa. She has her ideas. I can't interfere with her, but I trust you very much, so I don't worry too much. Okay, don't look at me like this, I do have something to do, Luke Prescott, the surgeon in the town. During this period, he always felt trapped by his dead wife. He hired a psychic, but... the psychic went there once, and seemed to be crazy."
"I know he is your friend, don't worry, I will go and take a look. Have you told him about my affairs?" Jia Huan was not against these things. He would not refuse when things came to you. Because some things were placed in front of you, and you were still standing by, it was not in line with the nature of a monk.
Of course, he will not pay freely, and charging a certain fee is essential.
"Do you need to prepare something?" Joseph asked.
"No need to prepare anything, I'll take it over by myself." Jia Huan shook his head and suddenly looked outside. A small red car drove in. It was the kind of BMW sports car. The door opened and a girl got out of the car.
"Elizabeth?" Joseph was shocked, and then looked at Jia Huan.
"If you are interested, you can also listen with us!" Jia Huan said directly to Joseph without avoiding suspicion, "She asked me to explain something."
"I'd better go first, see you tomorrow!" Joseph stood up and walked outside. He turned around and pointed at Jia Huan and said, "Don't forget... I'll go to the town tomorrow, I'll go with you, I'll come to find you, and then you'll take my car together. That's it, it's nine o'clock in the morning..." and then walked down.
He waved to Elizabeth: "Hi, I'm so happy to see you. Elizabeth, I'll leave first... Let's have a nice chat with you, and... the tea he made tastes very good. Don't miss it. He won't take it out to entertain people easily." Joseph lowered his voice and said to Elizabeth with a smile.
"I will, I'm happy to see you, Uncle Joseph. Greetings to Lisa for me." Elizabeth smiled reluctantly, waved his hand with Joseph, watched Joseph start the car and leave, then walked towards the balcony, stood in front of Jia Huan, looked at him, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.
Jia Huan pointed to the chair next to him. Elizabeth sat down, couldn't help but speak, and said, "I don't know who you are and what kind of skills you have, but what I want to say is that we have lived here for many years and came here earlier than you. We are not in conflict with the world, and there is no difference between us and the people here, don't disturb us." At the end of his speech, he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to threaten, but he also understood the feeling of infrared strong and powerful beings, which had no effect.
"I know, so you can still sit here. That's the reason!" Jia Huan said to her without hesitation, stood up and left directly, leaving Elizabeth there. She was a little unsure of Jia Huan's routine. She was considering whether to follow her in, but she saw Jia Huan bringing out a cup of tea.
When the tea cup was placed in front of Elizabeth, Jia Huan pointed and said, "What Joseph said to you just now is right. I rarely use such good tea to entertain guests. You are the first person besides Joseph. Drink it, it tastes good."
Elizabeth was so angry that she picked it up and took a sip. It was not very hot and could drink it. But she didn't feel that it tasted good. She was not good at tasting it.
"It's really ruining such a good tea!" Jia Huan shook his head a little regretfully, and then looked at her, "I guess you have brought me the answer. What kind of creatures are there at the bottom of the lake?"
At this time, Elizabeth's face gradually became cautious and hesitant, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "You can't afford to provoke you, so I said, you can't afford to provoke you either. We can't afford to provoke you, one on land and the other in water, without disturbing each other. You should give up your terrible thoughts!"
Jia Huan smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he turned his eyes to the lake.
