36 Infertile (2/2)

”His name is Dante.” Zuna gave a polite smile.

”He's a cutie, but what is he doing here?” The lady didn't get too close to Zuna, since she was already advised not to.

”Oh, he's here to help me.”

”How old is he?”

”Seven.” Zuna told a lie. ”Don't worry, he'll definitely be able to do as he's asked.”

”Alright.” The lady was sceptical, but didn't bother with it.

They discussed what made Elisabeth suspicious of her husband's infidelity, and Zuna had to agree that he had to have been cheating. The most obvious sign that he was cheater was the fact that Elisabeth had found 'protection' hidden away, despite the fact that she was infertile.

”Anyway, I'll be leaving the house for a week. My husband will be staying home, I'm hoping you could stay as spys for me.”

”So, does that mean we are staying the night?” Zuna asked. She should have expected it, but she didn't. She'd barely gotten used to life at Arius's house too.

”Yes, how else will you catch him?” Elisabeth thought that she was explaining the obvious. ”Another thing, I do expect you to be able to sneak around. Since I can't grant you too much access, as my husband might find out about you that way.”

Time passed as they talked, and eventually it was time for Elisabeth to leave for the week. She was leaving that very day, and so Zuna and Dante would stay the night. It was doubtful that they would really find anything on the first day of her leave, but you could never be too certain.

The pair of women somehow ended up as friends after the conversation. Zuna felt sympathy for Elisabeth, who had always wanted to be a mother but unfortunately couldn't do so. However, that turned into Zuna promising to visit in the future and bring along Dante.
