Chapter 4: Deep fear

Her mother-in-law returned and brought a plate of vegetables to the table to set them down. She wore an apron with her hair pulled up in a bun that was both bold and without losing her aristocracy.

Gentle eyes watched her every move. Although Elina had only just met her, she felt familiar with it before. “Elina, go up and get Simon to come down.” Her voice interrupted her train of thought. "Yes.”

Saying that Elina went upstairs to the room. Her heart was still beating very fast with each step. She reached the last room on the second floor and knocked on the door. "Knock Knock knock."

There was no answer. Elina pushed the door in. Her footsteps stopped and looked at the dimly lit room. It's daytime now, why is the room so dark? She followed inertia to go inside and called his name. “Simon.”

Hearing her call, Simon appeared out of nowhere, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his lap. Elina was taken by surprise by his actions and fell into his lap. She heard his heart beat faster and his hot breath hit her face. Elina trembled for a moment. "What's up?” He tilted his head and asked, still holding her arm.

Elina in this situation didn't know what to say, she could only press against him to feel the warmth of her body. She stood still like that without saying anything, making him extremely awkward, so he had to keep his position. “Elina, Simon, what took you two so long?” Her mother-in-law's call woke her up and quickly pushed his hand away. “Mom called us down for dinner.”

In the darkness, she couldn't see his face but could feel his every breath. Simon reached out and took her in his arms and held her tight. What situation is this? She pulled his hand away, but it was too tight for her to loosen. “What are you doing? I have to go home.” “She… warm..”

His voice faltered in her ear. The warmth from his mouth was like blowing a breeze into her ear, making her shiver slightly. He held her tight as if he didn't want to let go. “Elina, Simon, why are you two keeping the room so dark, if you don't hurry down, the food will get cold.” In front of the room, her mother's figure appeared, scared her, and pushed his hand away. Elina straightened her hair and walked out. "Nothing.”

Let's just go down. “Simon.” He stepped out of the darkroom. Her face was so beautiful that she didn't want to take her eyes off her. At this point, he didn't look stupid at all. She felt like there was something out of the ordinary.

These eyes are not the eyes of a fool. The thoughts swirled around in her mind again and again, but then Elina quickly dismissed them all. The story of Levi's family should not be paid too much attention.

It is said that the Levi family is not only strong financially, but also has a gang of its own. In the underworld, the position of the Levi family is also not average. The day before she went to serve in bars, she had heard about the Levi family.

A tattooed bald head said that the person in the Levi family is the boss of the Safia gang. Another name said that the Levi family is cold-blooded and kills people without fear. All in all, it was just a rumor, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

“Elina, what are you thinking?” She was startled to be awakened by her husband's words. Only now did she notice that she hadn't moved her chopsticks until now. Feeling a bit shy, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up some vegetables, and put them in the bowl. “She… she…”

Simon sitting beside her hesitated to say something but then swallowed what he wanted to say. However, those stammering words could not get past her mother-in-law's ears. She turned her gaze to him. "What's up?”

Why did her mother-in-law's voice sound like she was threatening Simon now? He was startled, the hand below grasped the hem of her shirt and trembled. She turned to look at his expression, confused. Elina reached down and grabbed the shaking hand and patted it. “You and Simon had gone out to lunch just now, so he probably can't eat now either.”

She smiled at her parents-in-law who were eating in front of her eyes. Will they ever scold her? But no matter what, all the most painful and painful things in this world, she has also experienced, so now she is calloused. “Vera, if you two have already eaten then I'll let the kids go.

Newly married should also cultivate a little affection. Old man Levi turned to his wife. She nodded and turned her sharp gaze to Simon. “You and Elina go to the room first.” "Yes.” She stood up and grabbed the shaking hand and pulled it up.

He crouched down next to her, and when he passed Old Lady Levi's chair, his whole body trembled for a moment. “Simon, Elina is now your wife and children, so change the way you address them”

Elder Levi smiled and reminded him. Simon just nodded and ran up to the room without forgetting to take her hand with him. As soon as he got to his room, he closed the door and sat in a corner. In the quiet room, she could hear his choked sobs. Elina didn't quite understand when she went to turn on the light and saw him sitting crouched down with a very scared look. “Simon, how are you? Where is the pain?”

She went to his side and reached out her hand to pat him as if to comfort him. Simon took her hand and moved his lips trembling. “Mother… she will hit me.” Elina frowned, her mind still trying to process his words just now. What does that saying mean? "Mom won't hit you.” Don't be afraid. “Nah… Elina, you hurry and run away.” Mother is a very scary person… She will harm you.

He raised his teary eyes to look at her, his trembling hand still clutching her tightly as if afraid she would leave him. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she still smiled and comforted him. "Do not be afraid.” I have you here. Do not be afraid. She cradled Simon in her arms, patting his head like a baby. She felt fear deep within him. This is fear rather than intentionality.

But why are you afraid of your mother? There are many questions in her mind right now. Having only come to the Levi family, I have encountered many things like this. What will the rest of her life be like? "Simon." She called out to him but didn't hear him answer. Her eyes darted around to look down at him and found that he was asleep. It's fine if you sleep, you won't cry anymore, you won't be afraid anymore.

But the problem now is how to bring him to bed. He's so tall and heavier than her, how can he bring it up? Elina caught him and slowly stood up. It was true that she thought he was very heavy. The tall body leaned against her as if it wanted to break her bones. It took her a while to get him to bed.

Adjusting the lying position for him, she gently covered the blanket and turned to prepare to go downstairs. “Don't… don't… don't do that… help, save me.” His faint voice caught her attention.

She turned to look at him, her face was sweaty, her eyes red from crying. Elina walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. You must be having a nightmare. She reached for his hand and gently calmed it down. "It's okay, I'm here...”
