At home, under the bright crystal lamps, Thea and Eric sat opposite each other.
"What's the matter with your hand?" Thea suddenly found that Eric's hand grasping chopsticks was a little awkward and could not help frowning.
"I'm all right. It's just a little off force." Eric explained casually.
Thea frowned again, grabbed Eric's hand and turned it over suddenly. Only then did she find a huge wound in his palm, with blood seeping out.
"Why don't you tell me? Let's go. There's a clinic downstairs. I'll take you to bandage it." Thea was a little worried and moved. It must have been hurt when Eric fought with Henry before.
Others only saw Eric knock off the stick in Henry's hand, but they didn't know Eric was hurt.
No wonder Eric rushed into the bathroom after he came home. He must have gone to wash his hands.
"It's all right. It's not a big deal. The wound will scab after one night." Eric shook his head.
Thea wanted to say more, but stopped again. She felt that she was too concerned about Eric, which seemed too pretentious.
But she was deeply touched.
As Gabrielle envied, many men today didn't even hesitate to sell their wives to their superiors in order to get a promotion. There was no humanity at all. Eric, however, did so much for herself.
Eric was secretly pleased that Thea's concern for himself made him unspeakably excited.
Of course, Thea didn't know that the injury on Eric's hand was not caused by fighting with Henry, but by the sword!
After dinner, Eric used to clean up the table. Thea hesitated and said, "don't clean up. I just mopped the floor yesterday, and it is not dirty. Take a rest. I still have work to deal with."
"Well, ok." Eric nodded and saw Thea enter the bedroom. After a while, she changed into comfortable pajamas and entered the study. Eric was happy. At least Thea no longer sneered at himself.
After cleaning up, Eric sat on the sofa and suddenly remembered something important.
That's the guidebook of the sword. According to the unofficial history records seen by Gabrielle, the sword was a warrior's weapon, and the warrior also created the way of using it.
Normally, the sword should be found together with the guidebook. That shop owner didn't understand these at all. If there were some, he must take it out and sell it together!
But no!
Then there were 3 explanations: first, the guidebook was found by the shop owner, but he didn’t know that the rusted knife was the magic sword itself, and the owner wanted to keep the guidebook for himself to study. Second, the guidebook was already ruined. Third, the guidebook was still in the tomb and not found.
Combined with these three possibilities, Eric preferred to believe the third one, the guidebook was still in the tomb. Since it was the tomb built by the warrior for the Princess, there must be more than these unearthed antiques, but the shop owner only took these.
Therefore, there were two possibilities. First, the treasures in the tomb must have all been took out, but not all sold.
Second: the ancient tomb has not been completely excavated. The guidebook was still in the tomb!
No matter what the truth was, these tomb robbers have made money and tasted the sweetness. They would certainly continue to steal and sell the unearthed things. The shop owner would certainly sell.
Moreover, the Princess’s tomb must be near the city!
Track!
Eric thought of this and quickly took out his mobile phone to find Larry's number!
As a college classmate and roommate, Eric had a strong relationship with Larry, and Larry's job was a private detective. He was actually hired to investigate something.
Most of Larry's clients were rich women. They hired him to track and investigate their husbands, find the lovers and so on, and shoot evidence for the divorce, or for sharing more properties!
"Hello, Eric? You seldom call me. What's the matter?" Larry's tone was casual. He could still hear the sound of tapping the keyboard. He was probably sorting out the secretly photographed video.
"I have a job here for you. Do you take it? I'll give you 50000 when it's done!" Eric said directly.
"What's the matter? Your wife is cheating? I have nothing to do tonight. I'll come and drink with you!" Larry said.
Eric was speechless: "s**t, your wife cheated on you! Forget it, I'll find someone else."
"No, no, no, hey, I'm just kidding... Kidding. Don't be angry. What work? Is it hard?" Larry quickly said, $50000 was not a small deal.
"What do you mean?" Eric was stunned.
"What do I mean? It will be the valentine’s day. Do you know that this is my golden period of a year, but I won't take the time-consuming work." Larry hummed.
The valentine’s day, after all, the men would all meet the lovers!
"It's not that difficult …" Eric said it with a wry smile.
"Tracking grave robbers? Grave robbers are against the law. Those people must be desperate and dangerous..." Larry hesitated.
"Hey, isn’t it dangerous for you to follow those big bosses secretly? If you're found, you'll be killed. If you want more money, just say 100000?" Eric scolded angrily.
"Yes, 60000 is fine. I know you don't have much money," said Larry.
"Just 100000. Of course, you have to get it done for me." Eric said.
"s**t, you got rich?" Larry said.
"Well, sort of." Eric said proudly, "you can't work long. After a while, I'll get you a decent job. You should find a girlfriend to get married."
Larry's job was not decent. He needed to sneak every day. In order to be afraid of being retaliated, he couldn't even live in a fixed place. In all respects, looking for a girlfriend was almost impossible.
The two of them had a good relationship. Now Eric was different. Of course, he was willing to help Larry when he had a chance.
Eric told Larry about Gabrielle's contact information and asked Larry to meet her.
The door of the study was open. Thea looked sideways. Eric, who was standing on the balcony calling, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Now Eric made Thea feel more and more pleasant. As long as he had something to do, instead of doing the housework at home all day, he was like a man.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, the sound of water came from the bathroom at home…
After the water was warm, Thea put off her nightdress and stood under the water, the water to falling on her face and shoulders. The water droplets flowed down her neck, but she was full of thoughts…
Dad just sent a text message saying he had gone home. But father also said that she and Eric have been married for three years. Since they were not getting a divorce, it's time to have a child. He's still waiting to have grandchildren.
In a word, Thea's face turned red and she was shy.
Thea was a traditional woman, and she had a natural maternal nature. Of course, she didn't hate having children, and as a wife, her body was for her husband, but…
She slightly lowered her head and looked at her proud body. Was she going to give her body to Eric?
In the living room, Eric was quietly watching TV. At this time, he naturally didn't know that his wife in the bathroom was thinking.
After a long time, the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared. Thea came to the living room to drink water.
Eric looked up and looked stunned.
Thea changed into a black silk nightdress. The dress was not long and has not covered her knees. She was sexy. A pair of long legs and black silk set off her perfect body, as if washed with milk, which made him dizzy…
Thea was a conservative woman. Although she loves beauty, she seldom wears this nightdress at home…
Eric knew very well how good his wife's body was. Her slim and perfect figure and impending curvy parts, with a beautiful face, she gave a feeling of nobility and elegance.
Eric couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and quickly looked away for fear of being found by Thea.
A woman's sixth sense was very sharp. How could Thea not find it, but she didn't have much anger in her heart. Compared with Bruce and Henry, Eric's eyes were much gentler.
At least, when Eric was at home, she was at ease.
She didn't worry about being forced or bullied.
"I’m going to bed, and you should rest ealier." Thea poured water again and said.
"Well, I'm going to sleep now," Eric said.
Over the past three years, the relationship between the two people has rarely been so harmonious. Thea was not quite used to it. She always felt that the atmosphere between them was somewhat special.
She didn't say anything and went into the bedroom with a glass of water.
Lying in bed, Thea turned off the light, but the darkness in front of her made Thea shiver.
Thea gently closed her eyes, but the arrogant and frightening face of Henry when he bullied herself came to her mind.
Thea was so frightened that she quickly opened her eyes. After calming down, she retracted her head into the thin quilt. When she closed her eyes again and was ready to sleep, she could see that scene again.
She was so frightened today that she thought she would forget after a nice shower, but she was wrong.
The darkness around made her feel insecure. Even if she hid in the warm quilt, she couldn't stop feeling cold all over her body. She was scared to get up and turn on the lamp.
Thea looked at the window. The curtain moved. What she saw through the gap of the curtain was still the endless darkness outside the sky. The cool breeze made her feel particularly cold…
Thea got up and went out of the bedroom. The light in the living room was still on, and she looked at Eric on the sofa, which suddenly made her more calmed.
Eric certainly didn't know this. When Henry bullied her, she didn't mention it tonight. So, he didn't know much about it.
Eric knew that Thea might have been frightened, but in his heart, Thea was a strong woman. There was nothing to be frightened at all, so he didn't think much.
Like Thea, he has experienced too much today. He refined the Tongtian pill and let the sword recognize himself as its master. Tonight, he experienced a big fight with Henry. Then he thought of the Jones, so he watched more TV.
Although he turned the TV down very quietly, he thought he had disturbed her. He quickly turned off the TV and got up and said, "I'll sleep now."
Then he walked to his storeroom.
"Eric..." Thea suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Eric turned his head and looked at his wife with a strange expression. He was puzzled when he saw that she wanted to talk and stopped.
Thea has always been vigorous and resolute, especially for him. After three years of marriage, she scolded whenever she should, but this has never happened.
Thea bit her lips and seemed to summon up her courage: "why don't you... sleep in my bedroom tonight. I, I'm a little afraid..."
The voice fell and the expression on Eric's face changed from doubt to shock. Thea's pretty face immediately blushed and stamped her feet: "forget it if you don't want to!"
