Not a Show Wife

Chapter 14: Uncle Sam

Elisha knew that his marriage was not based on love. But what does he deserve to be treated like? He was crying over Sky's actions. Now that she even felt invisible, Elisha still hid himself behind the thick blanket of the white hotel.

As for Sky, he returned to his room and lay on the bed. He was tired and still very drunk. Elisha's cry drenched his cheeks, one side of Sky looked up at the sky in his room and then let out a long sigh. It was the first time for Sky, the first time also for him not to feel anxious and worried about it.

After what happened to her sister, she always had recurring nightmares that made her a cold person. The casino company of friends does not make him a man who is familiar with others.

Sky tried to close his eyes, the man continued to be unable to sleep and instead thought of the thing he had just done. Although he hated Elisha, he felt guilty for his inhuman actions as well.

The hotel staff delivered lunch for the two, but Sky asked the clerk to deliver all the food to Elisha's room. "Excuse me," said the hotel maid, knocking on Elisha's door.

Elisha, who was dressed and lying on the bed, moved and opened the door. Slowly he reached the door and saw a hotel official delivering a large amount of food.

"Please, the Master next door says that Miss has to spend it, she's worried you're out of steam so eat a lot." The hotel attendant's statement made Elisa's cheeks flushed red, after her anger at Sky subsided she felt noticed even with just such a small thing.

"Thank you" Elisha brought his food inside, and slowly devoured it.

Meanwhile, Sky, was about to leave the hotel and meet a person he already considered his uncle. The man was the one who knew very well about Sky, Even that man was the one who helped Sky to get to what it was now.

Elisha was unable to finish the meal alone, so he decided to take Sky with him.

He came out of the hotel room, along with Sky who came out of his room.

"Why did you come out?" Sky raised the corner of his left eyebrow.

"Uhm, I want to take you out to eat together."

"Not necessary, just spend it. I'll eat somewhere else, I don't like the food either so I give it my all to you." Sky sauntered away before Elisha answered his words.

But, Sky's words managed to make Elisha again discouraged. He looked at Sky who was starting to disappear from his sight. He snorted softly and then returned to his room, even now he was also not tasteful to eat food neatly lined up on the table. Elisa decides to call the hotel attendant, asking them to bring back the food that has been ordered.

"If you don't like it, why order this much" muttered Elisha as he snorted and sat down rather rudely. He forgot, that his sensitive area was still sore.

"Aw!" ringis Elisha's. He moved slowly, leaning back into the bed and reaching for a book he had not read completely. Not long after, the hotel attendant came with Elisha's food.

As for Sky, he was driving to his uncle's house. The man lives alone, because he has no children and his wife has died, finally little Sky is treated by him like his own child. In fact, the casino world was introduced by his uncle. Sky is small, very very smart in playing gambling, so after 20 years he can collect a lot of wealth even he can buy 20% shares of the casino where he became a bookie.

Sky opened the car door and breezed into a house in front of which there is a dirty workshop for motor and car repairs. Seen the figure of a white-haired old man was busy repairing the leaking tires of his motorbike, Sky also cleared his throat to give a sign of his presence.

"Hey son, where's your wife? You didn't bring her here?"

"Son, bring her here she must be bored at the hotel alone. But wait, your face looks so different." The old man looked at Sky who was trying to turn his face away.

"Your eyes sparkle, so different from usual."

"You're talking about uncle, there's nothing different about me. I'm bored at the hotel and my head feels really good." Sky sat in an iron chair in front of his uncle.

"You drunk? Already eaten?"

"Not yet, so I'm here. I'd like to take you to lunch."

"You understand me so well, I haven't eaten since this morning either hahaha." The man stood up and wiped his oil-filled hand with a washcloth.

"You're so weird, you've got a wife but instead chose to eat with your uncle? Remember my message, don't be so cruel to her!" His uncle turned his head towards Sky, but the man seemed to be indifferent to his uncle's words.

"I'm good, I let him eat as much." Sky got up from his seat and helped uncle Sam close the workshop. The two of them walked into Sky's old car, planning to eat at a nearby burger restaurant.

"Why don't you take her to your house?" Uncle Sam turned towards Sky.

"Your house is empty, baby if it's not occupied" he continued.

"I hadn't thought of getting there, either I'd let her go back to her village or stay in the city. I don't know yet." Sky is still focusing on driving.

"You mean you won't accompany her, and she won't accompany you?"

"I don't know uncle yet, I don't need him, you know I'm used to living alone." Sky started to act selfish.

"Sky, that woman is your wife. Treat him well, lest you regret it later." Uncle Sam, trying to advise the man but will not work if Sky does not intend to do so.

"Repent? I swear I won't regret anything uncle." Sky chuckled, he pulled over the car at the simple but very famous restaurant there. They both got out of the car and started ordering food.

Elisa, in the hotel alone. He felt very bored, he had no friends, his only friend Nori, was at home. Nor could he bring Nori into the city. Though his life used to be fun even though alone, but after marriage why his life feels so boring and sad.

Moreover, her husband who did not consider her to exist. She also felt unwanted by her husband, she did not know what to do other than read books. But this time he had an idea. He wanted to take a short walk in the city he had just visited. He immediately got ready to put on his expensive clothes, then brought an umbrella to cover the sunlight highlighting onto his skin.

Elisha breezed out of the hotel, he wanted to find food or just watch a show on the street. The woman opened her umbrella while walking on the sidewalk of the road that many people passed. Halfway to the city center, he passed by someone he knew.

"Elisa?" said the man sounded heavy and rather hoarse.
