CH 13.3

Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 13.3

Don’t Fight (3)

Anna was silent for a long time after hearing this. Everyone had their own catastrophe. She worked in the earl’s mansion. On the surface, it looked fine, but in reality, she was eyed by the demon who wanted to harvest her soul, and she couldn’t even tell anyone, only carry the truth by herself.

Except for the threat of the demon, her job at the earl's mansion kitchen was really good. Because she was in the earl's mansion all day, she ate there. Although there was no white bread like Lily said, the food was a definite improvement.

It was a pity that the Earl's Court kitchen had rules which prevented her from bringing the leftover food home; otherwise, she would also take some home to improve her family's diet.

Fortunately, she only needed to persevere for another month before receiving her salary, which would relieve the pressure at home and slightly improve the food situation for the whole family.

Not long after Anna arrived home, she heard a knock on the door. When she went to open the door, there was no one there. Instead, she saw a bunch of lavender flowers on the ground.

Anna picked up the bouquet of lavender flowers and said to the empty alley: "Thank you, next time won’t be necessary."

Gaea saw that Anna brought in another bunch of flowers from outside the door, and asked with a smile, "Is it Mark?"

Anna nodded: "It should be him."

Recently, there were flowers sent here every day. She guessed it was from Mark, who gave her flowers the day she was hired by the Earl’s Court Kitchen, but he ran away after leaving the flowers, not even giving her the chance to refuse.

Gaea smiled and said, "Mark is also a very nice young man. Although his family is not as good as Tim's, he is very strong and can protect you."

Anna smiled. In her eyes, they were cut from the same cloth.

"Only gold coins can really protect me." Anna laughed.

Adele rubbed her eyes and ran out of the room. Seeing that Anna was back, she trotted over and said quietly, "Anna, I missed you today!"

"I missed you too, Adele." Anna bent down and hugged Adele tightly. The seven-year-old girl was very heavy and holding her took some strength.

But Adele clinging to her neck in dependence made Anna feel very happy, so she could only grit her teeth and bear the weight.

"Come on, let's go to sleep!"

"Anna, I want you to sing to me, I haven't heard you sing in a long time!"

"Okay, only one song, what do you want me to sing?"

Adele's voice was distressed: "Only one song? But I want to listen to three!"

Gaea smiled and watched the sisters laugh as they entered the room. She inserted the lavender flowers Anna had set down casually in an old clay pot, replacing it with yesterday's.

Anna hugged Adele and sang to her to coax her to sleep. Lying next to her was little Evan, who was drooling in his sleep. She was silently looking forward to her plans tomorrow.

This was the first step she took in dealing with the demon. Only when the demon was dealt with could she make money safely and take care of her lovely family.

On the second day, Anna ran into Lily as she was headed out the door.

After being scolded by the onlookers that day, Lily and her mother Renee had not come to trouble her again, but when they bumped into each other on the road, they would inevitably send a few looks her way.

Anna just pretended not to see her, and walked past Lily.

After losing her job opportunity at the Earls Court, Lily could only go back to doing odd jobs. She had worked so hard but earned not even a few copper coins. Her face, which was originally not as beautiful as Anna's, was now even more haggard looking.

But Anna did not sympathize with Lily, let alone feel guilty for taking Lily's job.

When Lily had pushed her in front of Parrish’s carriage then with the intention of killing her, Anna was already tolerant enough. Lily should have been grateful that she didn’t take “an eye for an eye.” There was also no law or national agency that upheld the dignity of the criminal law, otherwise Lily would not be as "relaxed" as she was now.

Anna escaped from her duties of delivering food to the demon yesterday under the excuse of an injury, but she couldn't escape it today. She resignedly lifted the food box and went to the small building where the demon lived.

Demon did not sit at the balcony table today, but was lying on the bed.

Waldo said: "Young Master Parrish said, he wants to eat in bed today."

The change of places aroused Anna's vigilance. She went in slowly with the food container, and when Waldo put a special table on the bed, she subconsciously looked at the demon.

……Huh? Where’s the demon?

At first glance, Anna thought she had seen wrong, but she blinked and looked carefully. The demon originally hidden in Young Master Parrish's body was really gone!

Anna was stunned, and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

Did the young mage scare the demon away?

No, the demon knew about the existence of the mage long ago, and hadn't run away then! Could it be that after she left last night, the mage discovered the existence of the demon and killed him?

This also explained why Parrish, who was already able to get out of bed, was back on the bed. He must have been injured in the process of the mage's exorcism!

Anna was almost glowing with joy. She suppressed her excitement, as she took the food out of the food box.

Young Master Parrish didn’t look fully conscious. He didn't spare a glance at Anna. After eating a few bites of food, he asked her to clean up everything.

Anna didn’t have a place to say anything, so she quietly gathered everything and left.

Not long after walking out, Anna saw Ulysses in the old place in the garden.

Her eyes lit up. She sped up and walked over.

He solved her big problem, and she would like to thank him! The demon was gone, so her idea of becoming a mage was no longer so urgent. If he didn’t accept her as a student, she wouldn’t force him.

Perhaps after hearing Anna's footsteps, Ulysses turned around, and the body that had been half-hidden behind the vines appeared in full.

Anna's cheerful footsteps stopped suddenly, staring at "Ulysses" almost in horror.

——In his body hid that demon!

Anna, who didn't like swearing, couldn't help but scream from the bottom of her heart at this time.
