His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 1223

After returning to the town, Fade met up with Momo and Ernest. He recounted everything that had happened to the duo and gave them some time to think about their future plans.

Fade left Dacia behind to guard them after that. Then, he headed to Dragonville without cultivating the Ice Lotus seed.

Initially, when Fade first arrived in South Bay City from Jade City, he thought that he only had to temporarily be Momo's pretend boyfriend for the annual banquet. However, too many things had happened since then, and it took up way more of his time than he had expected.

Fade could only purchase the ticket for the next available flight since he didn't get to plan his travel. When he arrived in Dragonville, it was already 10 p.m.

Fade rushed out of the airport. The streets were well lit and the night scene was breathtaking, but Fade was too anxious to enjoy the night view. He looked at the time and thought to himself, "It's New Year's Eve today. I have to be back by midnight or else Quin would be mad at me."

At this thought, Fade hailed a cab impatiently and headed home in a rush.

As the cab passed by a toy shop along the way, Fade thought of Quin and her hobby. He glanced at the time again and noticed that he still had an hour left before midnight.

So, Fade asked the driver to stop the cab. He went into the toy shop and quickly selected a couple of plush toys for Quin. He then also grabbed Quin's favorite plush character.

After that, Fade rushed home again with a cab full of plush toys.

The clock struck 11.40 p.m. as the cab arrived in front of the villa. Fade paid the cab fare before getting off with the plush toys in hand.

At this moment, Fade felt a little insecure as he stood in front of the entrance.

After all, he was at fault for taking so much time that he could only reach home on New Year's Eve.

After taking a deep breath, Fade walked into the villa.

As soon as he stepped in, Fade frowned slightly and muttered, "Why is it so quiet?"

There was only one room with lights on, and the rest of the mansion was pitch black. It was exceptionally quiet for New Year's Eve.

Was Quin spending New Year's Eve on her own without inviting anyone over? Thinking of this, Fade felt guilty and he sped up his steps into the villa.

Turning on the light in the living room, Fade called out, "Honey, I'm back. Come and take a look at the gifts I bought for you!"

Fade was about to head upstairs to Quin’s room as he spoke.

However, right at that moment, someone walked out from a small room located on the ground floor and said to him, "Mr. Chen, you are back!"

Fade stopped and looked back, only to find that it was Housekeeper Wong. He was surprised and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you spending the new year in Bay City?"

Housekeeper Wong looked at Fade with a strange expression before saying, "I was asked to come back here. Besides, Jordan is still working overtime in the company. It's pointless for me to stay at home."
