The Devil's Dribble Husband

Chapter 25. Interrogations

"Udah's nine, but he's Ellard hasn't come home yet. Where the hell is he going? I've been left with everything, the phone hasn't been picked up either."

Lilith clenched her hands. His chest was hunting in annoyance. This morning she woke up in her apartment room without finding Ellard. Her clothes were still the same, just like the one she wore when she met Arella. Her makeup has not been erased with flat shoes still stuck to her feet. Looks like Ellard left in a hurry last night.

Lilith who was feeling nauseous and staggering from drunkenness, was busy contacting Ellard who disappeared without a trace. Her brain is wild-minded, that the lover spent a hot night with Arella. Ellard had never done this before. The only suspect is Arella.

Drrrr! It's the umpteenth time Lilith called the man. If not appointed as well, then he is determined to finish off the husband of his series.

"Hello?"

"Where are you, anyway? Why was my phone just picked up?" Lilith immediately charged at her husband with questions.

"Ah, I was again man- ... I mean I was in the bathroom a long time ago" replied Ellard.

"Yes but where are you? What did you do all night until you didn't come home? Why leave me alone?" Lilith urged Ellard to open her voice.

"Want to add the soup, Ellard?"

Lilith listened to the voice carefully. A voice so soft and familiar in his head. Lilith was silent for a moment, adjusting her breathing which started to rhythmically. His blood is boiling too. Suppose this was not over the phone, he would have trampled on the woman who seized his lover.

"Ellard, are you the same Arella?" ask Lilith.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Every night?" ask Lilith again.

"Hmm, i-yes."

Lilith's heart burned at the response of her husband. "Where did you sleep? Sleeping with her?"

"Lilith, I explained at home, huh? I'll be home soon" Ellard replied, then hung up.

"Aaaarrgghhhh! Damn that chick. So he gave his body to my husband for business? You cheap chick!"

While waiting for her husband to come home, Lilith could not sit quietly. Every minute he watched the clock, impatient to interrogate the man.

The sound of foot-banging sounded slow. Lilith watched him from behind the door. A great sense of emotion, making Lilith want to immediately run over and scold her lover.

"Why did you do it all night, until you just got home now? What did the lady****** do to you?"

"That's right, right. He immediately attacked me, "Ellard's inner self while smiling faintly.

"Darling, let me open my shoes first, yeah. I'll tell you everything" Ellard said in a flat tone.

"Necessary. We'll talk here. Last night you didn't even get to open my shoes, did you?" Lilith blocked Ellard who was about to enter.

"You want, all the neighbors to hear our chatter? There are a lot of business secrets I should tell you. Do you want our plan to leak out before it gets done?" persuade Ellard, who whispered in the lover's ear.

"Uh, yes."

Lilith relented, and let Ellard in. The man sat on the TV room couch after changing his clothes.

"So last night you had too much to drink, to the point of being drunk. I had to drive you home, just so ..."

"So you can both be the same flirtatious woman?" lilith.

"No, honey. We talked about our business last night. And there were two more people who came to talk about business" Ellard said.

He purposely relented and did not respond to Lilith with emotion. Since the man knew, fighting with Lilith only magnified the problem.

"Women too?" search Lilith.

"Male, baby. Arella's assistant" Ellard replied.

"Where do you sleep after that? You must have stayed with that woman, right?"

Ellard laughed at hearing that. "What do you think I'm a man? We moved to the drinking establishment a few times, and it didn't feel like it was morning. Then Arella and his men took me to breakfast together to get rid of the hangover" he explained.

"Huh, liar. Though I heard it clearly, she just finished taking a bath" Lilith said in her heart.

"It's obvious, right? Anyway tomorrow we meet him again to discuss business," Ellard said smoothly.

"Wait on! I don't believe it. Is there a picture of him?" lilith Pinta.
