October 31 Part2

Hearing Sea's words made Archer's feelings mixed. Between happy and sad feelings.

He was happy because this meant that he would be able to meet Alice, but he was also sad because it meant he and Alice would die.

Now his love for Alice has begun to fade with time while in this space.

Because while he was here, Archer imagined the faces of his two children, Diana, and Daniel, as well as Bella's face. The longing for his little family continued to plague Archer's mind.

He began to think that what he was experiencing was punishment because he had intended to lie to Bella.

If only he had been working earnestly at that time, and had no intention of meeting Alice, he would have been fine.

And by now Archer must have gone back to Oxford and mingled with his wife and children.

"Archer? Are you crying...?" asked Sea.

Archer didn't reply to Sea's question at all.

"Wow, I'm so amazed to see a man crying in front of me," Sea smiled and grabbed Archer's chin.

"Are you crying because you will meet, Alice, or crying because you miss your wife and children?" Sea quipped. Archer was silent for a moment, his tears getting heavier.

The man had put away his sense of prestige, even now there was a sob and a slight groan.

"I'm sorry, Bella, I almost betrayed you ... sorry, Daniel, Diana. Father can't go home ...." Archer said with a sad face.

Sea was slightly touched by Archer's words.

She still felt pity, and she turned back to Archer.

"Do you miss your wife and you're kids, huh?" asked Sea.

And Archer nodded his head.

"I have to go home, Sea. My family is waiting for me, if I die here, who will provide for them?" Archer asked Sea.

And the look of sadness on Sea's face, it looks like Sea is starting to feel sorry for him.

Archer was sure that after this Sea would let him go.

"So what, Miss Sea, are you going to let me go?" asked Archer.

Sea was silent for a moment, then she said again, "What about, Alice?" asked Sea.

"Alice... I don't care anymore, Miss Sea. All I can think about right now is my family," Archer answered.

Sea also looked at Archer with teary eyes.

"I'm touched by your words, Mr. Archer," she said. But a few seconds later, Sea's facial expression changed again.

Her eyes bulged sharply, a sinister grin growing on her lips.

"But, I won't be fooled… Mr. Archer!" she said.

Archer looks so shocked!

"What do you mean, Miss! My h-w, don't cheat!" said Archer frantically.

Duak!

Sea hit him with a fruit basket, not just once, but many times, not satisfied with hitting Archer with that thing, Sea also kicked Archer in the head so Archer fell backward.

Archer couldn't do anything, she was lying on the floor with a gasping breath.

Sea left Archer just like that, and she resumed her work.

Namely cooking and decorating the room for the event later.

She decorated not only the dining room but also the basement.

Even today, Sea also prepared a dining table in the basement there. Specialized in the dry corpse collection.

*****

And now, Alice was in a dilemma.

She didn't know whether to comply with Sea's invitation or not?

On the other hand, she was scared, but on the other hand, she was curious.

Alice reached for the cell phone to call Felix.

She wants to tell all with Felix.

Drt....

Call connected.

"Hello, Felix, can you come over here?" Alice asked.

[What is it? I'm helping my mother,] Felix replied.

"Oh, you're busy huh?"

[Well, we're doing a small house renovation,] Felix replied.

"Ah, okay, well then," Alice cancels to ask Felix for help.

She didn't want to bother Felix.

[What happen, Alice? Just say it?]

"Ah, you seem to be busy,"

[It's okay, I can make time for you,]

Because Felix forced Alice, finally tell everything to Felix.

"Sea invited me to have dinner at her house, to celebrate Halloween night, she said she also invited her family. I can't refuse it, besides I'm still suspicious of Sea. Felix, I want to find out the truth about Sea, I want to know what my suspicions have been all this time. true or false?" Alice asked.

Felix looked shocked to hear that. He was afraid something bad would happen to Alice, but Alice kept trying to reassure Felix that she was fine. Felix couldn't forbid it, after all this was also to answer all their suspicions. So that there will be no more misunderstanding of Sea.

[What time will you be there?] Felix asked.

"Sea, invited me around 8 pm," Alice replied.

[Alright, hold on to your cell phone, I'll be watching at your house later. If something suspicious happens you can send a message, or call me,] Felix explained.

Alice agreed with Felix's words, and now she turned off her phone.

Then prepare to come to the Sea event tonight.

Alice prepares all the equipment, including ironing the clothes she will wear for the party.

'Am I exaggerating? Have I suspected my neighbor?' said Alice silently.

Then she peeked out of her window and looked at Sea's house.

The door of the house was still closed, and the woman's eyes caught a little girl behind the window of Sea's house.

"That girl again?" Alice looked shocked.

"Who exactly is that girl?" Alice rubbed her eyelids, and after that, she looked out the window, and the little girl's figure disappeared again.

"She disappeared? Why did she go so fast?"

Alice became more and more curious about the girl, in her mind, the girl was Clara, the daughter of the Sea. But Sea said that Clara hadn't come yet.

Alice grew confused, especially when she saw that the girl's appearance looked very different from other girls.

The girl looked very pale, and her eyes looked empty. Not the slightest hint of joy radiated.

*****

It is now 6 pm, Alice will be out for a while to buy things at the mini-market.

She accidentally bumped into Sea.

"Hi, Alice! Where are you going?" asked Sea.

"I'm going to the mini-market for a bit, you want to leave something?" Alice asked back.

"Ah, no, I just wanted to remind you, don't forget to come to my house, okay?" said Sea while smiling friendly as usual.

Alice nodded her head with a forced smile. "Okay," she said.

"Don't forget to wear your best costume! My beloved princess

Clara, I like this game!" said Sea.

"Ah, well...." Alice replied.

"Then see you tonight, Alice!" Sea waved with a smile, and Alice also waved her hand at Sea.
