[Batman] Esther

Chapter 32

"I'm back!" Judging from the voice, Selina seemed very happy.

"So fast?" Esther put down the newspaper and turned around.

Selina replied while taking off her clothes: "Because I took a ride."

Hehe, I really know how to joke, unconsciously glanced at the very familiar necklace on her neck, quickly got up and walked to her: "This is not..."

Selina, who only had her underwear on, took a few steps back, and said with a little panic, "Hey! My sexuality is normal, I'm sorry I don't want to do lace yet!"

Esther couldn't help giving her a blank look, and said angrily, "I really don't know what you're thinking all day long?!! Did you take the necklace around your neck back from his house?"

She touched the necklace: "Yes! Although it's in the safe, it's a piece of cake for me! But it's really beautiful and well maintained!"

Esther stretched out her hand with a more serious face: "It was left to him by his mother, he has always cherished it, give it to me!" Selina clapped her hand and moved closer to her, blinking.

"Oh? Didn't you say that you didn't care if I took something? Then why are you so nervous now?"

"I kept it for her mother."

"Okay, okay!" Selina patted her shoulder with a look that I knew all about, "Can't I guess what you are thinking? You say you don't like him, but you actually read the newspaper every day." What about his dynamics! If you want to know, I can tell you! Do you know? I saw him just before I left! I remember that I thought he was handsome, especially when he smiled But now, it’s hard to imagine such a person with a full beard, eye circles and bags under the eyes as if engraved on them! And his legs, walking limping, slowly, without a cane He couldn’t walk. Those who didn’t know thought he was 5 or 60 years old!”

Hearing the description of him, Esther was startled, is he actually like that now?So he didn't show up as Batman instead of peacetime coming?Is he injured?I don't know if it's heavy or not?

"...Esther?...Esther?...Hello!"

"Ah?" Like a call from afar, Selina called several times before regaining her consciousness.

"Look at you! When you hear about him, you lose your mind! You're still stubborn!"

Esther didn't refute, but just looked at her for a while, almost turning her off, before turning back to the bedroom.

"Hey! Do you want this necklace?"

"...you keep it..."

Selina stood where she was, staring at the necklace around her neck, pouted.It's all like this, if I don't return it, why don't you kill me? ! !His mother's?That must be left to the daughter-in-law in the future!Alas~~ What a pity, such a fine pearl!

Esther, who returned to the bedroom, was not as indifferent and calm as she appeared on the surface.After much deliberation, she still decided to take a look at him, just one look!One look at her and she'll be back!

It was almost midnight when we arrived at Wayne's ancestral house, and there was no trace of the dinner party just finished in the deep courtyard.Esther followed the memory to Bruce's bedroom, listened to the voice inside, and slowly opened the door.

He lay quietly on the bed, and should have fallen asleep.She crept closer to the bed, and the moonlight reflected on his sleeping face through the window.If it used to be a very tempting scene, but now, why is it so unshaven.He is usually the most concerned about his own image, and he will shave his beard clean every time he goes out.I remember one time, when he was going to the company, she wanted to shave him on a whim, but the shaving lotion got all over the place, and she accidentally let him see blood when shaving, which caused Bruce to be late for the meeting that day. It's disfigured, but it loses its image!

In my impression, it should be here. . .Esther stretched out her hand, and quickly retracted it after touching the beard.

The gaze moved up again, the bags and dark circles under his eyes.It's really deep, almost drooping to the knees!Why does he not cherish his body so much, as Batman, he has already caused himself to be covered in injuries!By the way, Selina also said that there seems to be something wrong with his legs, but she can't lift his quilt now and then touch to see if he is limping, right? !Not to mention that he will wake up, what if there is something really wrong and she pinches it even worse?Who will take care of him for the rest of his life? . . .Hey hey, think too far!Esther shook her head, and her eyes were attracted by the crutches standing in front of the bedside table. She picked up the crutches and rubbed the position of the handle. According to the tactile sensation and the peeling of the paint with the naked eye, it should have been used for a long time.His legs really are. . .How can it be?

Esther squatted by the bed, staring at Bruce's face full of vicissitudes, his nose was sore, a teardrop slid down his face, dripping on his face, his eyelashes fluttered.Afraid of waking him up, Esther quickly turned and ran out of the bedroom.

Then, when the room was quiet again, Bruce opened his eyes, and the look in his eyes was so clear. . .

Esther ran home without being angry and fell asleep lying on the bed. Her mind was in a mess and she had to think about everything!Those should not be thought of!

At dawn, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the necklace on the cabinet, which was the one left by Bruce's mother.Sit up and pick up the necklace, this Selina. . .

Aff entered Bruce's bedroom with a dinner plate, but there was no one in it, and he searched the whole house and couldn't find him, so he might be there. . .

"You haven't been here for a long time." Sure enough.

Bruce replied while manipulating the computer: "Yesterday, Esther's friend came here and stole the necklace left by her mother. I thought she was just a thief, but after reading the information, I realized that she was a thief! Her information showed that she repeatedly If she got away with it by chance, she had two brushes, but she was almost at the end of her rope."

"We'd better call the police before she sells the necklace."

"No, as long as Esther is still by her side, she will definitely stop it! Besides, it seems that she likes that necklace very much, besides, it is not her main goal."

"Then she is very similar to Esther." Bruce smiled wryly, putting his hand on the arm of the chair.

Seeing him like this, Afu thought for a while and said his thoughts: "Why don't you persevere? After so many things, don't you still recognize your heart? Ever since Esther left Gotham, you Always follow her, secretly protect her, I really hope you don't come back! I always look forward to: every year I go on vacation, in a coffee shop on the banks of the Arno in Florence, every evening I will sit there, order a cup of bitter Wine, fantasizing... I took a casual glance and saw you sitting at another table with your wife and maybe a few children. There was no verbal exchange between you and me, but I understand that you are doing well and are very happy ..."

Bruce looked at Afu with surprised eyes. He never knew that he thought so. He is now gray-haired. Even after so many years, he is still loyal to him and the Wayne family. The expectation of many old people.
