His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1424

Rhea placed the wooden case on the desk, thought for a moment, then brought the pen holder to the front.

Turning around, she took two steps away, then returned to put the wooden case inside the pen holder. She took out several pens and pencils, fit them nicely inside, and let out a slight sigh of relief.

She took her clothes and a towel, then went to take a hot bath in the bathroom, as she had not been home for many days. Although there were bathrooms and restrooms at the research institute, she could not take a nice bath there as they were not well-equipped.

Lying in the bathtub, she felt her overworked mind and body start to relax, and she grew sleepy. After some time, Rhea jerked awake and was shocked to realize she had fallen asleep in the bathtub and there were footsteps outside.

Her brain grew sharp immediately, and she quickly rose from the bathtub. Putting on a bathrobe, she neared the door and heard the footsteps stop outside, not far away. She suddenly pulled the door—

The bathroom door creaked loudly as it opened.

“Jeez!” Clapping her hand to her chest, Maria was startled, and her face paled.

Having entered quietly, she saw the light in the quiet bathroom was on and did not call for Rhea as she guessed her daughter could be taking a bath. She did not expect the door to suddenly swing open and startle her.

“What are you doing?!” Frowning, Rhea looked impatient.

“I-I thought you hadn’t eaten anything, so I got someone to make you breakfast. I’m bringing it to you,” she said, somewhat embarrassed, as she pointed at the breakfast on the desk.
