Editor: Henyee Translations
Anita and Sylvia had long since finished their meal. The two of them had looked through Owen’s childhood photos and the family photos, but he wasn’t back yet. They were about to fall asleep when they heard the sound of a car outside.
"Anita, Mom, why aren’t you guys asleep yet?" Owen hurried back after dealing with the matter. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the lights were still on and the two of them were still sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
"We were waiting for you. Anita was so worried when you didn’t come back. I had no choice but to wait for you with her," Sylvia said first while glancing at the two of them.
"Mom, I’m not worried about him. I just... I just ate too much tonight and couldn’t sleep," Anita said shyly as she listened to Sylvia.
"Yes, I know. Since Owen is back, I won’t be a third wheel for the two of you. I have to hurry to bed. I can’t take it anymore," Sylvia said as she swayed and walked upstairs.
"Good night, Mom," Owen and Anita said in unison while looking at Sylvia, who was going upstairs.
"Yes, goodnight."
"Why aren’t you asleep when it’s already so late? Didn’t I tell you not to wait for me?" As soon as Sylvia went upstairs, Owen turned to Anita and smiled.
"I know, but I’m still worried about you. How’s the company going?" Anita said, looking up at Owen.
"Since your husband is so great, I already dealt with it."
"Really? That’s good. I knew you were the best." Hearing Owen’s words, Anita finally let go of her worries and looked up at him with a smile.
"But who did this? Did they find the person?"
"Well, it doesn’t matter who did it. What matters is that this matter has been dealt with. Don’t think about it anymore." Owen was unwilling to tell Anita what Eric and Joan had done. He didn’t want Anita to be hurt again.
Hearing Owen’s words, Anita didn’t continue to ask. No matter what, it was best if the matter was resolved.
"Did you eat tonight? I left you something tasty. Do you want to eat something?" Afraid that Owen was too busy to eat, Anita left him some of his favorite food.
"I haven’t eaten yet. I’m starving," Owen said with a smile as he listened to Anita and rubbed his stomach.
Anita, who was heating food in the kitchen, couldn’t help but laugh at how Owen was wheedling to her just now. Owen had never wheedled at her like this before. For a moment, Anita thought he was simply too cute.
"Try it. I left you your favorite toast sandwich and black pepper beef pasta."
"Yes, it’s tasty. It’s simply tasty. Thank you, honey," Owen said to Anita as he ate.
"Is it really tasty?" Seeing that Owen was eating so happily, Anita couldn’t help but pick up her fork and taste it.
"There’s nothing special about the taste. It’s the same as usual," Anita said doubtfully as she put down her fork.
"That’s because you didn’t taste what’s special about it." freeweɓnovel.cøm
"What’s special about it?"
"My wife’s love for me is inside." Not expecting Owen to say this, Anita blushed again.
"Eat your food. I’m going to take a shower first." Afraid that Owen would say something else that would make her blush, Anita quickly stood up and walked into the room.
After Anita left, Owen put down his fork. He’d actually had a quick meal before the press conference that night, and what had happened tonight made him lose his appetite. He was even feeling down.
But all of this disappeared after he returned home and saw Anita. The image of her sitting in the living room with his mother when the light was on in the living room warmed Owen’s heart.
"Are you done? Come wash up," Anita said to Owen when she came out of the shower and saw that he was still sitting in the living room.
"Yeah, I’ll be right there." Hearing Anita’s words, Owen quickly walked into the room.
"Honey, what are you wearing that smells so good?" Owen whispered after washing up and lying on the bed while holding Anita in his arms.
"It’s your shower gel. We use the same one. You smell like this too." There had been a lot of things going on recently. It had been a long time since the two of them had hugged and been intimate like this. Anita was still a little uncomfortable and wanted to move her body, but before she could succeed, she was in Owen’s arms again.
"But I think you smell so good that I want to take a bite," Owen said while proving himself with his actions.
