“That’s nonsense. You’ve become pretty sensitive, you little devil,” Matthew teased while playfully patting
my butt. 711 pamper my lovely wife tonight.”
I smiled and nestled into his arms, saying, “I’m hungry and feeling under the weather. How could you do
that to me?”
He scrutinized me. “Are you genuinely not feeling well? Why didn’t you bring Ava back with you?”
“You wouldn’t believe it. Ava’s having a blast with my parents and doesn’t want to leave. She didn’t even
glance at me when I left. Our neighbors have several kids, and she’s obsessed with hanging out with
them, so I let her stay there for a while.”
I had another reason for leaving Ava at my mom’s place–it freed me from distractions.
“We’ll do as you say. Take a break while I prepare dinner,” Matthew comforted and hugged me before
heading to the kitchen.
Shortly after, I went to the bedroom, changed the sheets, and tossed them into the washing machine. The
thought of tainted sheets made me queasy. Matthew came to call me for dinner and was o confused

he realized I had changed the sheets.
When he asked why, I said, “Just for a change of vibes.”
His phone rang before we started eating. I saw ‘Laurie‘ on the screen and wondered if it was Lauren
Burton. I asked while eating. “Who’s that?”
Matthew glanced at me and casually replied, “It’s just a client. She’s the one who wanted an advance for her project. The company she works for is still interested in collaborating with us.”
I couldn’t help but admire his effortless attempts at making up stories these days.
