It wasn't until dinner was served that Sidel was pulled out of the room by Rui Yi.

"Your sister and father are waiting for you below." She patted Sidelle's head: "Why aren't you with your sister? Kelsen and I thought you were exchanging feelings upstairs."

"It's nothing." Sidelle took her mother's hand and walked downstairs, not really wanting to talk about Esther.

When she was about to reach the dining table, she suddenly remembered something: "Where is the doll I put on the sofa?"

"Your dad took it to our bedroom." Rae asked. "Don't you like it?"

Sydel: "... Huh?"

"Didn't you say you were going to put it in the storage room?"

The seven-year-old girl's face is still immature, and her baby-fat face makes her slightly angry questioning funny and funny.

In short, there is no prestige at all.

Ruiyi was amused by her daughter's cuteness, she pulled Sidelle's angry face, and said with a smile: "But the storage room is in the basement, and I put the key there in the warehouse behind the garage, it's too late now It’s not convenient to take it.”

She pointed to the dark sky outside.

"Besides, Mom also promised Miss Joyce to take good care of her doll," Rui thought for a while, and decided to communicate patiently with Sidelle, "Although she doesn't know, I want to put the seven-year-old girl Annabelle in A dusty basement is not an option to treat her kindly, and Sidelle can't bear to lock a child of your age into the basement, right?"

Sidelle was surprisingly angry.

Rui also made a joke, did she think her words were funny? !

Why are they all so casual about the fact that a doll lives in a person's soul? Hey!

Or is it that adults don't believe in these...but they would rather believe in something than nothing.

What if it is true? !

She was even aroused by this joke, and even foresaw in horror that in the near future, that creepy doll played hide-and-seek with her in the villa.

"Whoever is caught will become the next doll"

The doll was dragging a bloody white dress, with a weird smile on its face, its stiff limbs dragging along the tiled floor, making a barking sound.

"Kacha Kacha——" Its head turned around, its eyes glowed scarlet, and it shot straight at itself hiding in the closet.

Sidelle: "!"

She must never let her imagination become reality!

Sidelle pursed her lips, glanced at Rui angrily, then turned and walked towards the dining table.

Rae has no respect for her at all!

Sure enough, to adults, children's words are childish words, which are unbelievable, but Sidel just feels tired.

On the rectangular dining table, there are sumptuous dishes.

Esther turned into that quiet and introverted expression again, the corners of her lips curled up a little, her waist was straight, her posture was so elegant that it was almost perfect.

It's like the "other people's child" that often appears in the mouth of parents.

Apparently, Kelson and Rui Yi are also very satisfied with Esther. Kelsen is talking to Esther with a gentle smile. Esther is also like an elegant lady with her hands gently on her knees, her head slightly tilted to meet with her. Kelsen talks.

Ruiyi walked in following Sydel, and Kelsen had already noticed that Sidel seemed to be in a bad mood, and looked at his wife inquiringly, Ruiyi shook his head helplessly.

"Sydel," Kelson called out to the little girl who seemed to be about to sit down and start eating, "Your sister has been waiting for you for a long time, how could you start eating by yourself without saying hello?"

Sidelle: "... Hello, sister." She was sure that Esther didn't like herself, so she simply raised a big smile at her.

Esther smiled calmly, and glanced at Kelsen with her head tilted: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Sidelle looked at the affectionate father and daughter in front of her: "..."

The more you lack something, the more you like to show off something.She now believed that Esther was an orphan. After all, she was so eager to show off her father's love in front of her, she must have never enjoyed it before.

Sidelle calmly divided the steak on the plate into two, forked a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Esther was also cutting steak, but unlike Sidelle, she gracefully cut the steak into many small pieces with a knife, and chewed each piece in small bites.

Under the contrast of Sidelle, it looks very delicate.

Halfway through the meal, Rui suddenly remembered something and got up: "The milk is ready, I'll get it for you."

Sidelle looked up: "Thank you, Mom."

After she figured it out just now, she was no longer angry.After all, to Rui Yi, she doesn't believe in supernatural things, and Annabelle is just an ordinary doll to her.

Hearing Sydel's thanks, Esther paused her fingers that were cutting the steak, and the sharp knife drew a shallow mark on the porcelain plate.

But she didn't say anything to Rui, instead she continued to cut her own food as if no one else was around.

It wasn't until Rui handed her the warm milk that Esther raised her head slightly with a look of perplexity: "I don't like milk."

"That's it," Rui paused, and took the milk back with some embarrassment: "Mom doesn't know. Sorry, Esther, I will pay attention to it in the future. Is there any food you don't like?"

Esther didn't speak, just lowered her head slightly and shook her head.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, until Kelsen came out to interrupt: "Since you don't like it, you don't need to drink it. You can tell Mom and Dad what you like about Esther."

Only then did Esther show a wider smile, and turned her head to thank Kelsen sweetly: "Thank you, Dad."

Sidelle who was drinking milk: "..."

Hard, fist hard.

The smell was too strong, and Sydel subconsciously thought of two words.

green tea.

Sydel suddenly realized that Esther might not only hate her, but also her mother Rae.

what is this?Hatred?

Her parents, however, seemed to be trying their best to manage the dinner, and neither of them saw anything wrong with Esther.

Depressed, Sidelle wiped her mouth with a napkin and jumped off the chair with a slap, "I finished eating and went back to sleep."

She has to find a way to solve the problem of Annabelle's whereabouts first. If Esther is really a green tea, she will definitely be exposed after getting along for a long time. Sidelle is not worried about her now.

After all, she can see the essence at a glance, and Esther's green tea method is not very clever.

After returning to the room, Sidelle thought for a moment, opened the website, and entered "Annabelle" to search.

After a while, Sidelle closed the webpage with some disappointment.The search results have nothing to do with the doll.

Sidelle sat on the carpet in distress and thought. She knew that according to Rui's personality, at least tonight, she would never listen to her request to go to the warehouse to get the keys and then throw Annabelle into the basement.

What's more, if Annabelle is really possessed by an evil spirit, throwing her into the basement is probably useless.

But no matter what, you can't put it directly next to your pillow.

Sidelle suddenly remembered something, opened a website for searching newspapers and periodicals with a little hope, and entered "Annabelle" again.

Unexpectedly, she actually found clues in the newspaper.

As the report was gradually caught by Sidelle, her eyes widened.

It turned out to be so!

After reading the report, Sidelle only had one thought in her mind:

Absolutely...don't allow parents to be in the same room with that doll!

"So, I don't talk to him about pythons, pristine rainforests or stars...then the person will be very happy, thinking that he has met a reasonable and understanding person."

On the bedside table with cartoon characters on it, a small white desk lamp is dutifully emitting a warm orange light.

Kelsen was holding a book of The Little Prince, reading a bedtime story to the little girl sleeping on the bed in a low tone and slowly.

Esther's big dark eyes hung on her fair face, and her brown curly hair stuck to her small face obediently. She listened quietly to Kelsen's reading.

"Okay, Esther." Finally, Kelsen closed the book and gently kissed the corner of the little girl's forehead: "This is the end of today's story, it's already late, you should go to bed, baby."

"Dad, are you leaving?" Esther opened her eyes wide.

"Yes, your mother is still waiting for me to go back to bed." Kelsen said goodbye with a smile: "Good night, my baby. May you have a sweet dream."

Esther's attachment has benefited Kelsen very much—although Sidelle is also a cute little girl, but in some respects Sidelle is very mature, and she often dislikes Kelsen as a father who is too naive.

This made Kelsen very sad, but today he found the joy of raising his daughter again.

He turned off the lamp, closed the book, and heard Esther's calm answer in the dark.

"Good night, Dad."

she says.

The girl's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but Kelsen still left contentedly.

When he returned to the room, Ray had already changed into pajamas and was waiting for him on the bed.

"I'm back, Esther is asleep." He said, and at the same time praised: "That is really a very obedient girl, much quieter than Sytel."

"Really?" Rui Yi looked at the gorgeous doll with a large skirt on the opposite cabinet, and said, "That just complements Sidel's personality, but..."

"Honey, maybe we shouldn't be talking about the kids right now." Kelsen kissed Rey on the cheek. "Don't you think we should do something else now? Like..."

Rui snorted and played a few words with her husband in a playful way, but just as Kelsen kissed Rui's lips and was about to take the next step, there was a knock on the door.

"Oh..." Kelsen scratched his messy hair and got up helplessly, and Rui also hurriedly wrapped up his pajamas and sat up.

Standing behind the door was Esther.

She was wearing a white robe pajamas, looking at the couple expressionlessly, her fair face was a little pale and transparent under the light.

"I'm afraid, Dad." She looked up at Kelsen, pursed her lips tightly, and said expressionlessly, "I don't want to sleep alone."

Kelsen looked at his wife in embarrassment, Ruiyi on the bed was stunned for a moment, and then smiled gently: "In this case, then..."

"Sister, if you don't want to sleep alone, you can find me." Rui's words were interrupted by Sidel who rushed in suddenly, and she looked at Esther excitedly: "It happens that I don't want to sleep alone tonight."

Rae: "Sydel...? Why are you here?"

Sidel rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that if I didn't come here, I wouldn't know what kind of monster this little hoof has become.But she still had a smile on her face, looked around the room, ran to the cabinet, tiptoed to carefully hug Annabelle, and said seriously: "I'm here to find my doll, Mom, I'll take Annabelle and sister Let's go, you and Dad go to sleep."

As she spoke, Annabelle, who was dragging her skirt with one hand, grabbed Esther's hand with the other and rushed out the door without hesitation. Esther was staggered by her, and opened her mouth to speak, but Sidelle acted as if she hadn't. Seeing that, he grabbed her wrist tightly and dragged her out the door.

"Alright," Kelsen coughed twice from behind, "you sisters, let's improve our relationship."

Sidel came and went like the wind, rushed in quickly, and then went out without delay, the husband and wife were still in a daze, and there was no one in the room.

Esther was also taken away by Sidelle.

"crunch-"

The door closed behind him.

"Bang——" Sidelle's hand was thrown away vigorously by Esther, and she seemed to finally react and realize what happened.

Sidelle held the doll in one hand, looked back at Esther pretending to be blank, and reached out to pull the corner of her clothes: "Sister, let's go to bed, aren't you afraid? I can sleep with you."

The eyelids on Esther's snow-white face twitched slightly, her eyes were no longer soft and timid, and she stared at Sidelle coldly.

Even the air smelled of her resentment.

But Cidelle is just a seven-year-old child.

She was still a child, and the child didn't understand anything, so she continued to hold Esther's hand with a smile: "Sister, are you afraid of the dark? It's okay, I will hold you and take you back."

This time, Esther did not shake off her hand.Sidelle took her back to Esther's room. After entering the door, it was pitch black, and the room did not turn on the lights.

This was the first time Sidelle entered Esther's room after she came to this house.

Sidelle is not familiar with the layout here, so after thinking about it, she pulled Esther and said, "Sister, go to bed first, I'll put the doll away and come back to sleep with you."

To Sidel's surprise, Esther actually let go of her hand, walked slowly along the darkness to the side of the bed and sat down.

But she didn't speak either.

...Could it be that this little green tea was really intimidated by her?

Sidelle was a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it.After finding out where Annabelle came from, she thought about taking the doll from her parents' room first, and then sleeping with her parents——

I didn't expect to meet Esther just in time.

The doll in her arms was heavy in Sidelle's arms. She carefully held this gorgeous girl doll, returned to her room, put the doll on the rocking chair, trotted out again, and closed the door carefully.

I don't know if it's because the doll is too heavy, or because of other reasons, before closing the door, Sidel heard the creaking sound of the rocking chair.

She returned to the corridor, and before she left, she still hugged her little quilt and pillow.

Strangely, after Sidelle opened the door of Esther's room, there was no one on the bed.

"...Sister?" Sidelle called out strangely, and her voice echoed hollowly in the dark room.

No one answered.

Taking advantage of the weak light outside the window, Sidelle groped for a section of light tube on the wall next to the door frame, rubbed it a few times, and found the button.

"Crack-"

It was not an incandescent lamp, but a faintly flickering purple light.

At the same time, there is also a whole wall - the painting.

Sidelle froze in place, the corners of her eyes twitched unconsciously, she took a step back subconsciously, and suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

"What are you doing?" She heard someone ask quietly.

Sidelle turned around abruptly, and saw Esther coming behind her at some point, expressionless, slightly tilted head, with one hand behind her back.

The snow-white face of the brown-haired girl was hidden in the darkness, revealing two dark glasses exposed to purple light.

Now the two glass beads were staring at her.
