The Witch (Lisrene)

Chapter 7

Lisa brought Irene back to his office. He haphazardly threw the shopping bags from his hand to the sofa and asked, "Why did you buy so few things?"

Slippers and underwear-felt like they were only necessities for a temporary stay in a hotel.

"The clothes in the mall were too expensive, so I only bought the essentials. I plan to buy the rest online." Irene replied.

Lisa was startled. Right, she was only 18 years old. She probably didn't have much money on hand.

"I'll transfer a sum of money to you. You can go and buy more," Lisa answered as he took out his mobile phone from his desk and opened up WeChat to transfer money to Irene.

"It's alright. I have money."

"Just take it." Lisa did not believe her. He knew the brand of slippers she bought. It was only sold for 10 yuan in a bargain store. He didn't know much about feminine clothing such as underwear but it shouldn't be that expensive anyway.

Besides, he spent at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in order to cure his insomnia over the years. Considering that Irene had the capabilities to allow him restful sleep, he didn't feel like he made a loss by giving her some money.

Ding!

As soon as Lisa transferred the money over, he received the notification that she had accepted the transfer. A corner of his mouth twitched. Even though this girl tried to reject his money earlier, the speed of collecting the transfer was not slow at all.

Irene's reasoning behind accepting the money was very simple-Lisa was her dearest husband. According to her master, the relationship between a pair of husband and wife was the most intimate relationship in the world, so they need not be too courteous with each other. Otherwise, the relationship would become estranged. Lisa and her did not establish a close relationship yet. Therefore, she couldn't afford to let their relationship be further strained due to money matters.

"I will spend it well." Irene proclaimed seriously.

Lisa was speechless. It seemed that she could not be bothered to continue pretending after accepting the money.

"What did you give Yeri just now?" Noticing that Irene was in a good mood after receiving the money, Lisa took the opportunity to question her.

"Yeri? Are you referring to the cute guy who had a nightmare just now?"

"Cute guy?" The way she addressed Yeri seemed like she had an intimate relationship with him.

"Not him?" Did she guess wrong?

"Well, what's with the doll you gave him earlier? Can it really chase away nightmares?" Lisa couldn't be bothered with correcting Irene's address for Yeri and inquired further.

"Of course it's possible. It's imbued with my witchcraft powers. Not only will you have a good dream when you bring a Sweet-dreams Doll to sleep, but you can also sleep peacefully till dawn. When you wake up the next morning, you will feel entirely refreshed." Irene replied.

A Sweet-dreams Doll filled with witchcraft powers? Could that be the reason for him falling asleep yesterday due to her having one on her?

"Do you still have one? Give me one too." He wanted to try one.

"Yes, I still have a couple. But it won't have much effect on you." She answered.

"Why wouldn't it have much effect on me?" Lisa was puzzled.

"You're different from others. Others have nightmares because they were startled, frightened, or due to some kind of influence on their subconsciousness. But you're different. You are Ephialtes, nightmares are part of your powers, why would you want to dispel them?" Irene questioned in return.
