The Devil's Dribble Husband

Chapters 30. Lilith's New Plan

"Look, it's nine o'clock in the morning. Where's the fucking guy? How dare you play with fire in front of me?"

Lilith stomped her knife firmly on the cutting board, while cutting carrots and potatoes for the soup. The frozen chicken breast was cut into pieces in an instant. The atmosphere of the kitchen was so boisterous, the cookware cafena clinked strongly in Lilith's hands.

Sometimes he would throw his breath out harshly. The tail of his eyes glanced towards the digital clock on top of the fridge many times. His teeth were grinding strongly with his jaws hardened.

Cklek!

"Lilith, I'm home."

Ellard met his wife who was busy cooking in the kitchen. But the woman fluttered in her place, not turning her head in the least. His hands were busy cutting onions with big knives.

"Lilith? Listen to me first. I'm sorry." Ellard touched his wife's shoulder and was about to hug her.

The cring! Lilith turned around while raising her knife high up in front of Ellard's face, before the man could hug her.

"God, Lilith. What are you doing?" Ellard took a few steps back, to avoid the sharp blade.

"Geez! When did you come home? I didn't hear the door open, because I was listening to music through the headset" Lilith said. His face looked relaxed and crisp, not painting the slightest anger. He then hurriedly removed the wireless headset from his ear.

"Eh? That, huh? I thought you were mad." Ellard's breath was restrained, as he could not guess what his wife was feeling and doing at this time.

"Why am I angry? What have you had breakfast yet? Want to have breakfast with me? Soon the soup is cooking" Lilith said. She looks so happy to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

"Be-yet, anyway. I went home as soon as I woke up" Ellard said. "Duh, let's have breakfast twice. The important thing is not to make him sulk," Ellard said in his heart.

"Yes, wait a minute, yeah. I'll make some warm tea while waiting for the soup to boil" Lilith replied again.

Ellard obeyed him. He sat at the dinner table, looking at his wife suspiciously.

"Why did he suddenly change? Did I see him angry last night? What did Arella say, that Lilith would support me was true?" ellard was confused.

"Lilith, me and Arella last night ..."

"Ah, yes. Your strategy is amazing. I didn't think you could have a brilliant idea by seducing Arella, to get a project out of her" Arella said as she made tea.

Gluey! "I think Lilith is crazy. It will soon explode" Ellard murmured in horror.

"Lilith, actually ..."

"Oh yeah, you stayed at the same hotel all night and just got home in the morning, surely our project went well, right?" Lilith continued to babble, without giving Ellard a chance to talk.

"Yes. Not that yesterday I also told you that tomorrow we can sign the contract. Arella will rent the building near the governor's office and flyover. Then your shop will be renovated. You could say ninety-nine percent of the cooperation process went smoothly," replied Ellard.

"Seriously? It's good that." Lilith carved a wide smile on her face. His eyes also looked very cheerful.

"You're that happy?" mumbling Ellard.

"Yes, dong. I don't have to worry anymore about the cost of running my almost bankrupt store" Lilith said, breathing a sigh of relief. Both of his hands carefully placed the chicken soup that was still puffing hot steam onto the table.

"W-what's up?" Ellard's breath felt heavy and tight. Can't guess what Lilith is thinking right now.

"That means I don't have to take care of the cake shop anymore, right?" Lilith said.

"Honey, of course you have to keep the store," said Ellard.

"Well, what is it? We will be able to pay more employees than now, with the rent we have," Lilith said as she swept her lips five centimeters forward.

"I'm not done talking, baby. That means you have to keep the store, because you're the owner. From tomorrow you're the CEO of a course and a butterfly pastry shop" Ellard said.

"really? Kyaa ... I'm really happy. It's not in vain that I fought from scratch long ago" Lilith said. "But, will our secret be safe in Arella's hands? He knows about Anella, right?" he said a little worried.

"Silent. Arella doesn't care about that. Among the investors who stayed away from us because of the case of losing Anella, only she came to cooperate with us. Everything must be safe. As long as we don't upset her," Ellard said casually.

"Huffth, thank God then" Lilith said with relief.

"You don't mind, I'm with Arella?" Finally Ellard uttered the grief in his heart, to his wife.

"As long as you're doing it purely to smooth out our business it's okay" Lilith said calmly. Both of his hands scooped the warm soup into smaller bowls for Ellard and himself.

"Huh?" Ellard gaped, hearing the words of the wife who was beyond his guess. He ran out of words, to reply.

"Try thinking. Using all means to launch the transaction is part of the business. Just like you did to Anella back then," Lilith said with a wide grin.

"Let her enjoy your handsome face to lure Arella, to keep giving us projects. That's not called cheating. But the strategy part of the business" Lilith said.

"Wait on! I don't understand what you mean. So you mean you let me sell my body to a rich woman for money?" ellard said with a frown.

Lilith shook her head. "Have you seen the artists? They make souvenir businesses on their behalf, and become an expensive brand. The selling price has increased dramatically, right? Whereas cakes with the same type are also sold in many other places," Lilith said.

"Ah, so kayak those viral pastries, right?" Ellard finally understood the meaning of the wife.

"Yes, that's it. So if he is in control of those buildings, it will definitely be more ogled by investors from abroad. Looking at Arella's educational and business background, I'm sure she'll be more successful than Anella" Lilith said.

"You're investigating the woman's background?" ask Ellard. The woman made him even more horrified.

"Yes, because I'm afraid of being cheated again like before" Lilith said. "I'm actually looking for the ugliness, anyway. Let's humiliate him and separate him from Ellard. I was also suspicious, because her name was so similar to that unlucky dead woman" Lilith said in her heart.

"In addition to relying on Arella, I also want to open a cake shop franchise in our other buildings" Lilith said later.

"Whatever you want, I will support you" Ellard said. Her feelings were already more relieved, as Lilith did not scold her.

"Oh yeah, I want the cake shop renovations handed to me. We can customize the interior design to my liking. And most importantly, we can manipulate the cost of the renovation. So we're in for a big profit" Lilith said with a sly smile.
