[Batman] Esther

Chapter 34

Bruce thought that he would be like this in the future, never leave the house, never contact anyone, and die alone.But after what happened to Gordon, he knew that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind the peaceful Gotham, and the peaceful and comfortable days would soon end, so it was time for him to come back.Just start tonight!

Esther participated in the banquet held by Tate tonight. She should be glad that she chose a masquerade ball. Everyone has to wear a mask, which is just convenient for her to move.

She is now welcoming the person in front of her with a smile on her face. He thinks he has picked up a treasure, and she will turn him into a grass soon!While socializing with the people in front of her, she was still observing the movements around her, and she was immediately attracted by a figure upstairs.

That's Bruce!There is a beautiful woman standing next to him!She glared at him viciously, did she find a new love so quickly?Fortunately, she helped him the day before yesterday!Unknowingly, the hand on the opponent's shoulder increased strength.

"Ah... Erin..."

"... Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Esther reacted and quickly put down his hand, with an apology on his face.

"It's okay! How about we continue to talk about the trip, I will go to another city in a few days, would you like to..."

Esther pretended to be distressed: "This matter...let me think about it again?" It would be too unreserved to agree immediately, and it would make him feel that she had other plans.

He turned his gaze upstairs again, but there was no sign of Bruce there! !The eyeballs kept turning in search until. . .

"Can you lend me your dance partner?" The person who spoke was Bruce. He went straight to the second floor from the moment he entered the venue. Although everyone was wearing masks, he still found Esther at a glance!Originally, I wanted to go down immediately, but unexpectedly, a Miss Tate came, and I came over immediately after greeting her.

I have to say that the other party has a lot of interest in Esther, but he is still very gentlemanly, seeing Bruce coming to invite him to leave the dance floor without hesitation.

"Thank you." After thanking Esther, Bruce ignored the astonished Esther, put one hand on her waist, and took her right hand with the other. The whole set of movements was very natural and did not give Esther a chance to resist. .

When Esther realized, they were already in the middle of the dance floor, staring blankly at Bruce without speaking.

Bruce glanced at her attire and said with a smile, "Your attire looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."

Esther looked away from his face, and said lightly, "I learned from Selina."

"Selina? The one who stole my mother's necklace?"

"Yeah." The necklace is now on her neck, "If you want to take it back, take it off."

He looked down at the necklace and then at Esther who didn't look at him: "No, you look good wearing it! Anyway, it was originally reserved for you!"

This sentence touched Esther's heart a little bit. If the things left by her mother were given away, of course it would be for her daughter-in-law!but. . .

"Come on! I can't bear such a big gift from you!"

Esther's lack of face made Bruce's expression a little bitter, and he fell silent for a while.

In fact, she thought it would make her very happy to let Bruce be speechless, but in fact, it didn't achieve what she thought, but seeing him slightly lowered his head, with no brilliance in his eyes, made her feel very uncomfortable .

"Well... don't you have bad legs? How can you still dance here?" As soon as she said the words, she regretted it. What did she say? ! !

However, this was an encouragement to Bruce, and he was in high spirits immediately: "I have gradually recovered recently, but I still need crutches to walk now."

Esther felt very sad after hearing this. He used to be so radiant, but now he can only live on crutches, "How did your leg hurt? There is also scar tissue...concussion..." Yue said The lower the voice, the lower the head.The large and small wounds on his body must have been caused by fighting clowns or fighting criminals. It turned out that he was already covered in bruises.

Speaking of this, Bruce felt a little heavy: "I was injured when I was saving Dante. Although I tried my best, I still couldn't save his life. After that, I have been recuperating and never went out again. Fortunately, after that Life is very peaceful, and there is no need for Batman."

It turned out to be like this, "...But, when Gotham calls Batman again one day, you will still show up without hesitation, right?" Bruce didn't deny it, and Esther suddenly felt relieved. The real Bruce, he can't ditch Gotham any more than she can ditch stealing.But it's not a certain day, the time when they can ignore this is the time when they can be together again.Just don't know when that day will come. . .

Bruce could guess what Esther was thinking, he knew it when she left.The two fell into silence again.

After a long time, Esther couldn't help laughing out loud, and laughed at himself: "When did we become so embarrassed?! The world has really changed a lot. In a few years, I will be old and pale; and you, You must still be high-spirited! How old are you this year, almost 30?... 31 flowers for men! Thirty for women! It seems that I have to work harder and earn more pensions!"

"Esther!" Bruce looked at her, his tone was firmer than ever before, and assured her: "Aff told me a lot, and I also understand what you always wanted, Gotham, I really Can't let it go...”

Upon hearing this, Esther struggled to leave, but was held tightly by him.

"You hear me out! . . . as soon as I find someone to replace Batman, we'll get out of here, okay?"

Esther froze there, she knew through Bruce's eyes that what he said was serious, her heart was also shaken by this sentence, and she almost blurted out the word "good"!She slowly approached Bruce's face, brought her lips together, put her hands on his chest, and approached slowly. . .Bruce also tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes, and gradually lowered his head. . .

It stands to reason that he should touch her lips, but he didn't, he opened his eyes, Esther looked at his embarrassment with a suppressed smile, then turned and left. . .

Leaving Bruce in a daze, at a loss: "No way..."

"Hey! You scared her away!" The man who was dancing with Esther just ran over and said to him angrily, then bumped his shoulder and chased him out.

Esther dismissed the man who wanted to travel with her with a troubled expression, walked to the attendant, waved the parking roll in his hand and said, "I'm his wife, I'll tell him to take a taxi back later!"

When Bruce came out of the venue, he rummaged through his pockets, walked to the door, and frowned: "Uh... I can't find my parking pass."

The attendant answered truthfully: "Your wife wants you to take a taxi back."

"My wife?" His face was full of doubts, and he immediately figured out that this must be Esther!After calling Alfred, I got into the car.

Alfred kept looking through the rearview mirror.

"What are you looking at?"

"Are you alone?" Bruce sighed helplessly.

"...Don't worry! Esther probably won't sell the car!"
