After achieving his goal, he left. When he stepped out of the apartment, Jenkins was very happy that the day went well. Although Hathaway on the side was also very happy, she was still wary of Mr. Candle.
She wanted to separate from this mysterious man at the intersection, but Jenkins' words made her pause:
"I don't know what you want to do with this statue, but I must remind you that it is not a good thing. If I were you, I would throw it away immediately. This is my advice to you as a friend."
The object depicted in the wooden sculpture is not a human being, but a bird with wings spread. It looks like an eagle, but it looks like a crow if you look closely. Jenkins saw a very thin black aura on it, hence the warning.
"I see, thank you."
Hathaway said so, but Jenkins believed that she would not throw away the wooden sculpture easily.
"Are all female gifters so unwilling to trust others?"
He asked with a long voice, Hathaway seemed to want to leave, but thought of something, and immediately replied:
"How do you know I'm really a woman? And don't look down on women, Miss Fabry, but you guys are playing around."
"Yes, I am indeed a man, I do not deny that. But speaking of Miss Fabbri, it seems that her deception has not been completely successful, and it seems that it was a man who exposed her... Jenkins Williams, I remember the name, You asked me to investigate him last year."
In the next moment, Jenkins really saw the anger and murderous look on Hathaway's disguised face. He even thought that Hathaway would pull out a gun and kill him the next moment, but fortunately, Hathaway was still rational.
"Mr. Candle, no matter what you are, please remember, if you dare to attack him, I will definitely kill you, at any cost!"
The woman was like an angry lioness at the moment, and the trembling voice made Jenkins a little scared.
"Don't be angry, I was only joking. Oh, it's really a joke, in the name of my lord!"
He took a few steps back, then touched the cat vanilla on his shoulder:
"You see, how can the person who keeps such a lovely cat be a bad person?"
He backed up step by step, until he finally reached the end of the alley, and then ran to the other side of the street in a dodge, making the boy who wanted to ask him if he wanted to buy the evening paper almost drop the things in his hands.
For Hathaway's vigilance against himself, Jenkins believes that this stems from the fact that she commissioned him to investigate Jenkins last year. On the one hand, there is a risk of revealing Hathaway's real identity, and on the other hand, it may cause trouble for Jenkins.
That's why Hathaway showed such an attitude every time she faced the powerful and mysterious Mr. Candle. Jenkins is both happy and annoyed by this, of course because of the girl's fiery feelings, and annoyed because last year's lie about Mr. Candle may extend a series of annoyances.
But in fact, there is no need for Hathaway to worry that Mr. Candle will have Jenkins' idea, because after half an hour, she and Mr. Candle passionately kissed in the carriage.
The thrift store that sold Mr. Birch's mother's fruit bowl was not the same thrift store that the Church was after touting numbered items. Jenkins searched according to the address, but when he arrived at the door, he found that the door was locked, and the other party had already left work.
He had no choice but to come back when he had time, and when he reached the door of the Church of the Sages, he encountered Hathaway's carriage again, but this time it was Hathaway's own carriage. The woman blushed and invited Jenkins to talk in the car, and then kissed the man.
She was very enthusiastic, and this was the first time they had been alone since the night of the accident at the opera house, when they had revealed their feelings to each other.
"I am your lover, Britney is your lover, but we are not your lover at the same time."
This sentence made Jenkins remember deeply, and as lovers, when they get along, they can naturally do some things that they were embarrassed to do before.
Although from a certain point of view, in the past, no one stopped them from doing things that lovers could do, but now they have become a little bolder because they understand each other's thoughts and recognize each other's identities. .
While holding the girl, Jenkins could feel his cat scratching his face with its paws. But the cat's strength is very small, so don't care about it at all.
After the kiss, the two parted with blushing. Jenkins licked his lips, hoping that the glass of water he swished after dinner would take away the taste completely.
He felt that the temperature in the compartment seemed a little high, so he reached out and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. Generally speaking, this button is not fastened, which would make people look very rigid and serious, but Jenkins feels that the button is there, and it is useless if it is not buttoned.
"Long time no see, Hathaway."
"I thought you would take the initiative to find me."
The red-haired girl complained softly, and Jenkins didn't know what to say, so he reached out and took her hand. It worked so well that, given Jenkins' past performance, even a little initiative now wins over his girlfriends.
"I noticed a statue in the little paper bag over there. It's not a good thing. You'd better destroy it as soon as possible."
He hasn't forgotten about it.
"Okay, I'll burn it in a minute..."
It was completely different from his attitude towards Mr. Candle just now, which made Jenkins start to think about whether he should find an opportunity to clarify matters related to his identity, otherwise there would be big/trouble one day.
"Did Britney come to see you? After that night."
Hathaway didn't know what she was thinking, but she asked directly.
"No, I haven't seen you since you came to the antique shop to talk about the outing that day. Speaking of which, why don't we have a showdown soon? I feel that everyone is playing a dangerous game now."
"But exciting, isn't it? Like those stories and chivalric novels."
Hathaway blinked at Jenkins, the man blushed and did not deny it.
The unattended cat nearly scratched the seat cushion.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
She didn't ask Jenkins to answer this unanswerable question, but she took the initiative to sit by Jenkins' side opposite him. She noticed that Jenkins seemed to be trying to put his arm around her, but gave up:
"The time for the outing has been decided. I will leave this Saturday morning and come back in the evening. I think you should have time."
"Yes, there is time...why didn't Britney come?"
The moment he said it, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again.
