Chapter 97: Men must be crazy about you
"Alright, tomorrow, I will definitely beat you!" "Then I'll be waiting!" Charlotte gave him an expectant look, then closed the door with a "bang."
Elijah walked back to his room and found the lights on when he opened the door.
Daisy and Abigail had arrived at some point.
"Elijah, I've been waiting for you for so long!" Daisy pouted. "I have something to tell you!" "Let me rinse off first, I'm covered in sand!" "Okay!"
Elijah quickly rinsed off and came out wrapped in a towel.
"What's up?" Elijah walked over and hugged her.
Daisy had already taken a shower and was dressed rather lightly.
"Hey, I have something serious to discuss with you!" "What is it?" Elijah asked, surprised.
"Elijah, now that we've taken over the mall, the next steps are to clear out the zombies and move supplies. With Abigail's abilities and Lily's help, clearing and moving will be effortless. I feel redundant there, and my abilities are limited during the day, so... can I act independently?"
Daisy looked at him expectantly.
"Of course!" Elijah didn't hesitate. "You can do whatever you want; you don't need to ask me specifically. You are my family, my girlfriend. You're not a pet tied to my side!"
"Muah!" Daisy kissed Elijah happily. "Hehe, I knew it, thank you, Elijah! I'll leave Abigail to you then. From now on, I'll need you to take care of her."
Since Elijah still needed to use Abigail's abilities, Daisy couldn't take Abigail with her to Seabreeze Terrace to search for her parents.
So, she simply left Abigail with Elijah.
"That's all, now you go to sleep. Good night, Elijah!"
"Hey? That's not fair!" Elijah pulled Daisy back into his arms.
"You stirred up the fire of desire; you need to find a way to put it out!"
Daisy blushed a little. "Abigail is here..."
"It's okay, Abigail doesn't understand these things..."
The next morning, Elijah got up feeling refreshed.
However, Daisy stayed in bed, saying she needed to catch up on sleep.
She planned to adjust her jet lag and return to Seabreeze Terrace in the evening to look for her parents.
Elijah had no choice but to go downstairs with Abigail.
Halfway down the stairs, Elijah happened to see Lily stepping out of her room in slippers, yawning.
She had changed from her outfit from the previous day and was now wearing a more comfortable camisole nightgown with a low neckline.
From his vantage point above, Elijah could see most of her chest.
More importantly, it seemed she wasn't wearing a bra.
Although the nightgown had some thickness in certain areas to cover a bit, her breasts moved freely, inevitably drawing his entire attention.
"Morning… morning!" Lily greeted him sleepily.
Once she realized it was Elijah, she quickly became alert, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
She discreetly tugged at her nightgown to make the neckline smaller, but it didn't really help.
"Why are you up so early?" she asked.
"The bed was too comfortable, I couldn't get used to it!" Elijah replied with an embarrassed smile.
"I... I'll go help with breakfast!" Lily said, then turned and ran to the kitchen. "Bella, I'm here to help with breakfast!"
"That's great! Can you check if the porridge is done?"
"Sure thing!" Lily responded.
After coming down the stairs, Elijah let Abigail stay in the living room. He planned to go outside to check on the morning exercise group. At the door, he ran into Hannah coming in.
"You look beautiful today!" Elijah greeted her.
Hannah was wearing the clothes he had brought back yesterday.
She had on a white sweetheart-neck T-shirt with layered ruffles at the sleeves, simple yet refined.
Her bottom was a pair of black mid-rise shorts that looked like a very short pleated skirt, barely covering her thighs, tempting one to keep staring, hoping for a glimpse.
But in reality, it was a romper, securely covering her, dashing any such hopes instantly.
Elijah still watched with keen interest because Hannah's legs were very attractive.
"Thank you for the clothes you brought back yesterday!" Hannah's usually cold face showed a slight smile, making Elijah a bit dazed.
In terms of looks alone, Hannah was no less attractive than Daisy.
However, Hannah always had a cool, distant demeanor, unlike Daisy's playful and adorable charm that everyone loved.
But getting to know Hannah revealed that while she wasn't overtly warm, she didn't reject social interactions either.
Occasionally showing a smile, she was like a flower in full bloom, stunning and captivating.
"How's your body strengthening technique coming along?" Elijah steadied himself and asked with a smile.
"I spent all day yesterday practicing under Charlotte's guidance, and my strength has increased significantly. Now, facing zombies, I feel like I can easily chop off their heads!" Hannah replied seriously.
Elijah gave a mental thumbs-up to Charlotte. "How about joining me on a supply run to the mall today?" he suggested.
"Sure!" Hannah agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Elijah had nothing else to say, she headed straight to the kitchen.
Elijah, on the other hand, walked out of the villa to the area where Charlotte and the others were practicing their body strengthening techniques.
His eyes immediately lit up at the sight of their outfits.
Today, everyone was wearing new clothes, even Charlotte.
They were all in T-shirts and shorts, their slender legs gleaming in the morning light, looking particularly eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.
"Now this is the proper attire for exercising!" Elijah thought with satisfaction, glad he had brought back so many clothes. He watched them intently.
Fiona noticed him early on and slyly winked at him in the midst of her workout.
"Focus on your training!" Charlotte said sternly. Fiona immediately straightened her posture.
"Haha, looks like someone can keep you in line!" Elijah laughed.
Charlotte shot him a subtle glare.
"Uh… maybe I should go back and check out Lily's ample chest!" Elijah muttered as he wandered back to the villa.
In the villa's dining room, Bella, Hannah, and Lily were busy setting the table after finishing up in the kitchen.
Bella, standing close to Lily, couldn't help but ask softly, "Lily, tell me your secret. What do you eat to grow such a big chest?"
Hannah's ears perked up, and she listened intently.
"Nothing special, just regular food," Lily replied, a bit embarrassed.
"I envy you! Men must be crazy about you!" Bella commented.
"Not really…"
"How not? Didn't you see the guy outside staring at you?" Bella pointed towards the door.
Lily looked over and saw Elijah walking in.
"I… I'll go change my clothes!" Lily said shyly, then hurried back to her room, leaving Elijah watching in a daze.
"Wow… giving a back massage to her would be pure bliss," he thought to himself, somewhat dazed by the sight.
