The Gun In My Hand's

Chapters 16. And How We Don't Speak Enough

Penthouse Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich (Greater London), UK – 05.21 am.

How surprised I was to open the door of the room that was knocked on in a small voice and find Edward sitting with his smile. How could he reach this room by passing through so many dangerous stairs? I immediately took him in and locked the door.

I again tried to close my eyes and hug Edward so as not to disturb Elisha's sleep beside me. However, he kept bothering me and it seemed like he wanted to play. He didn't make me sleep again. After playing for a while with her, I finally decided to take a shower.

I was in the bathroom a bit long considering I also had to take care of my scars. I had to use a more invisible scarf. The woman will keep asking if she sees my wound back.

When I finished the bath, I saw a magnificent sight. There, at the end of it, a wonderful Elisha stood with me holding Edward. Edward's laughter just broke in Elisha's arms.

Aren't they both adorable? I just realized Edward was so easily captivated by Elisha. Is she in love at first sight? I don't know what they did when I took a shower.

Edward even continued to stick to want carried Elisha. He always pursed his lips when he didn't like something. But this time no, he always developed his smile.

Her motives may have liked Elisha's blonde hair. But, I didn't expect him to kiss Elisha on the forehead like I did. Basic, a creature as small as this can already take the slack secretly.

I didn't know that Elisha liked children too. He even bathed Edward. So far he hasn't asked me at all about Edward and the woman in my penthouse.

I'm glad he didn't immediately conclude the situation with anger. But I'm also worried, she's not like the usual Elisha. Does he not care about anything related to me?

Elisha reacted very strangely. He doesn't seem to care about other women here. When I peeked at her forehead, she just silently looked at me, after which she seemed to shift the atmosphere to quickly focus on Edward.

I don't like him who doesn't seem to care. He is now with me, he is very close, he is in my grasp. But, I feel there is still some distance between us. I need to quickly explain the situation. I don't want him to get any further.

I dispelled that thought quickly when Elisha and Edward had gone into the bathroom. I had to quickly tidy myself up and go prepare for the needs of both of them.

The need for Edaward I will ask later, now all I have to do is find clothes for Elisha. There's no way I'm lending that woman's clothes to Elisha, is that right?

I finally took my car keys and quietly went down the stairs. Ah, she's cooking, it's perfect. I leave quietly. I took my car to the women's clothing store. Okay, what should I buy first?

Long time choosing clothes that fit for Elisha makes me dizzy. I finally bought some so he could choose for himself. Shit, I'm overreacting. I spent a lot of money on these clothes.

Then what? Ah, our pedestal? I remember last night I brought a goodie bag containing our clothes and there were high heels. No, it'll hurt his leg.

I ended up buying him two flat shoes so he could walk comfortably. He's too tall for me to use high heels. For me? I smiled at myself. How can I be so confident.

What's again? Make ups? But I liked him without the excessive colors on his face. Even when he woke up he looked beautiful without makeup, even though his eyes were swollen from crying.

Swollen? Hey, he still has bruises on his hands and body. I have to buy bruising cream for him. I shouldn't keep buying that cream every time I hurt it. This is quite the last one. I don't want to go crazy because of my excessive temperament when it comes to Elisha.

She's my precious woman.

When I came out of the pharmacy, I realized that there was something I hadn't bought. This is more important for all women. Of course, underwear. Shit, I never imagined I'd get into this horrible place.

Underwear store.

As I entered the store, several female servants approached me. Why three too? Not one person is enough. They are like being given a tempting meal in the morning. Disgusting.

"What do you need, Sir?"

"It's not clear, I definitely need a few pairs of women's underwear."

The women were surprised by my answer. Is there anything strange? Of course, they don't have to ask anymore. I don't need their help.

"Oh, sorry, sir. That means maybe we can help what brand, model, or size you need?"

Ah, it turns out like that. Size? Last night I actually held all parts of Elisha's body, but how could I describe it. That's so embarrassing. Where might I mention the details of the shape and size of the woman's underwear that I almost slept with.

"Can you leave me. Let me choose for myself."

The female servants did not seem to like my answer. They immediately left me with a grunt I could hear.

I was so dizzy and embarrassed when I was presented with a lot of women's underwear. I felt my face and ears turning red and even burning. I can't stay here much longer.

I ended up taking all kinds of underwear that I made sure fit Elisha perfectly. By the time I got to the cashier's desk, I had a bunch of underwear on.

While counting my groceries, the maid asked, "Master, isn't this a lot?"

What's your problem? I'm a customer, no matter how much I want to buy.

I again heard the whispers of two other servants back there, "The woman was very lucky. Look at all the branded underwear."

"True, hey is it possible that he bought her for her large stock of jars?" I couldn't stand it, I finally started to open my voice.

"What's your problem? I bought it for my lady. She's not a bitch and she's the richest woman in all of mainland Europe. I'll make sure that among this pile of trash I bought, he doesn't even want to wear it. Shit, you guys messed up my mood this morning." Everything looks stiff.

The assessment of a customer is very influential with the sustainability of their work. I don't lie, my mood really changes when they talk about bitches. Even when I first touched Elisha, I was not feeling good about other women.

The total cost I spent on Elisha's underwear was already very much. I finally got my debit card out. The waiter looked stiff twice. Of course, because the card I used was a no limit card. I could even buy an entire underwear store in Europe.

I'm kidding. How do I get it?

Secret.

I immediately ran out of the store to my car. I tossed the goodie bag inside and drove it fast. I hope they haven't finished their bath.

When I walked into the penthouse, the woman in the kitchen was gone. I'm looking for a goodie bag I threw last night in the living room but nothing.

Whither?

I finally opened the guest room door and, "Ahhhhhhh!!! What are you doing, Leon. Can't you knock on the door first. Edward understood that!"

Just finished a shower? He used a towel to cover his body. I rolled my eyeballs.

"I need Edward's clothes and gear."

He exhaled a coarse breath and switched to preparing baby clothes and supplies. When he gave it to me, he looked confused.

"For some reason why you use cout in the room. Weird."

"Whatever."

After saying that, I immediately closed the door and brought everything I needed to my room. As I entered, the sound of water and Edward's loud laughter sounded. Did they not finish the shower? Nearly an hour passed.

I tidied everything up on the bed so they could easily prepare themselves. After my hard work was over, I heard the sound of the water stopping. Looks like they're done. I immediately changed my clothes back and left the room to go to the dining table.

Huh, this is quite exhausting.

Just as I was sitting myself at the dinner table, the woman beside me had already finished her breakfast. "You guys are so long, so I have breakfast first."

"Yeah, it's okay. Give me three pancakes and a lot of maple syrup." The woman scrunched her forehead.

"You sure? I've prepared another one for you. I know you don't like sweet food."

"I changed my mind. Now I like everything that tastes sweet."

But, for some reason today I want to start everything with a sweet one, I even started it with three stacks of pancakes and maple syrup that frankly never even passed from three bites when eating it.

I had almost finished my breakfast, two very old people finally showed up. Wow, even today I feel like I'm seeing a real mother and son. I glanced beside me, is it really the woman beside this Edward's mother? He just chewed on the rest of my pancakes that I could actually still spend.

"What's? Something weird about my face?" Was he not worried in the least about the condition of his son's stomach?

"No. Spend it."

Edward's voice began to whine. It seems like he wants to be with me. And sure enough, when Elisha gave it to me, he sat comfortably on my lap. Wait a minute, when I looked at Edward well, I immediately held back a laugh.

"Hey, Boy. Have you taken a shower? Look at you so ..."

I glanced at Elisha, how do I say it? His face was very white, a lot of powder covered his face. Did he take care of Edward properly?

"... fragrance, hehehe."

But, right now I'm not lying to find a very fragrant Edward. The smell of her little body was a combination of the smell of my baby and the smell of my soap. Ah, I forgot to prepare the toiletries for them.

"I couldn't find anything that could make him smell better than this. We wear whatever's in the bathroom."

I looked at Elisha at this moment, she was still beautiful. Does he smell the same as me?

"Yeah, I also forgot to prepare it."

After saying that I immediately diverted my mind, I can't be like a hot teenager. I slowly fed Edward patiently, though always in a mess. But, in that way she looks so adorable making us keep laughing.

We were? I haven't heard Elisha's laughter so far. As I looked ahead, Elisha I found in a moody state. Oh, naw. Did I go back to making him uncomfortable?

"Elisa, eat. Don't you like it?"

He just looked at me and slowly shook his head. Afterwards, he ate in silence and had no intention of making eye contact with me.

Ii'm sorry.

"Leon ... isn't there something you need to explain with this situation?"

Damn, why is the woman beside me ruining the breakfast atmosphere. Didn't I say I would explain.

Back I glanced at Elisha, he looked stiff. What's on his mind.

"I'll explain it after we finish breakfast. We have plenty of time for that."

No, actually I was just stalling thinking about what this two women would look like. I thought hard until breakfast was over. I don't have anything right to say.

I finally offered to wash the dishes and told them to relax in the living room. I heard the sound of the tv, it seemed like they were watching to remove the awkwardness.

I'm doing my dish washing. Alright, it looks like I will start introducing the two of them, I don't want Elisha to think too far about this situation. What will I tell you about Elisha?

Everyone knows she's the woman in the spotlight since last night. And he's here, with me, sleeping in my room, eating breakfast quietly in front of me, and now watching television. Ah ...

I'm finally done with my hard thinking. As I headed to the living room, I saw Edward standing in front of the television and banging on the screen with a cartoon movie. The two women were busy with their conversation. The closer I got, the more I knew what they were talking about.

"Of course not! Are you crazy. I can't be ..." Elisha's words were not continued. He just lowered his face.

"really? But I see it differently. All I know is you kissed another guy last night, yeah maybe your fiancee. Everybody's not stupid when they see a ring on your ring finger." Elisha quickly covered the ring with his hand.

"And why did Leon bring you here anyway. You're not her boyfriend, but you slept in her room last night, I'm not sure not to think badly about what you did last night, even though she just brought a woman here this time. Didn't she think how I and Edward felt."

Shit, that woman will keep blabbering if I don't stop her.

"What are you talking about?" I finally stopped the peeling event and sat on the single sofa.

"none. Female chat as usual. So .. I need you to explain this confusion. I don't have a clue about ..."

He stopped his words and glanced at Elisha. "... this woman." I'm too used to this woman's attitude, which rarely makes her speech.

I looked at these two women I loved. They seemed very enthusiastic to hear my explanation. Elisha was still covering his ring, while the woman beside him was holding a hand on his chest.

"All right, have you met?" No one answered each other. Okay, looks like they started a conversation without introducing themselves

"I think you've forgotten it. Elisa ... introduce her is Luxy and she's my sister."

"Whataaa!"

Everything was silent for a moment. Edward even stopped the activity of hitting the tv and staring at Elisha. I didn't think he'd be that surprised.

"What's? What what is what? Why are you so sweet?" Luxy scrunched her forehead, it seemed like her ears were hurting with the cry of Elisha.

"But you guys are like a couple. Leon seems to love you so much, he treats you so gently, and ... Edward's." Luxy who was frowning her forehead again replied.

"What's right, me? His wife? Are you kidding me? He won't even be on my list of the type of man I dream of. It's your fault anyway, Leon. You're overreacting to me. You see this woman even thinks a no-no about us. And you ... Didn't you realize we even slept apart. If I was his wife, I should've grabbed and slapped you for sleeping with—"

"I don't!" Elisha shouted back. This morning it seemed like he had extra energy to shout.

"I mean we don't do what you think. We just... sleep ... yeah sleep ... only."

He said it with a stammer. His face was even very red. After that, he glanced back at Edward who was back on the move hitting the tv and laughing. I will be silent, because the woman who likes to babble will continue to explain endlessly.

"Edwad is my son. Isn't he an adorable kid? I was surprised to find him so fond of you. He's a tough kid, even when he's crying he's not like a kid in general. He would just sob to hold his voice. I even felt like the worst mother for her as she held back tears, as if I was going to scold her when she was noisy in her cries."

Luxy's mood seemed to deteriorate when telling Edward. He's always been like this. I have to stop—

"Where's his father?"

Elisha asked that question first. I saw Luxy's expression change instantly. He again scrunched his forehead and stared dislikefully at Elisha. Shit, I should have stopped talking about Edward from the start. It'll hurt Luxy.

I don't know how the past will gnaw itself back. I just remembered how Luxy's eyes swelled, I'm sure he's not okay right now. I often see him crying silently. And it didn't happen until this morning ...

"His father? His father is already .. dead."
