I shrugged. "That's why I said you are different from Hendrix. He never boasts about how much he loves me, but he shows his love through his actions. It's my blessing that I got to be his wife."
Tobias mumbled as he ate his noodles, "If you were my wife, I would do the same!"
I frowned and stared at him. "What did you say?"
He stuffed a mouthful of pasta into his mouth and glanced at me. "I said the pasta is really delicious.
I want to eat this for dinner as well."
I rolled my eyes at him. I didn't have much of an appetite, thus I just ate a few bites and went to the fridge looking for yogurt. Just then, Hendrix's call came. He informed me that the housekeeper he arranged had arrived.
I went to greet the housekeeper and show her in as Tobias continued to eat his pasta.
The new housekeeper was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She seemed like a very plain person. After greeting me, she introduced herself as Nadia and I explained the general situation to her. After that, she started tidying the house.
After Tobias finished his pasta, perhaps because he was still hungry, he emptied my plate as well. I
was taken aback. He looked at me and said, "The portion was too little. You have to cook more tonight."
I didn't know what to answer him, so I just nodded and agreed.
I had nothing left to do in the afternoon, so I didn't go back to the office. To my surprise, Sebastian took the initiative to call me and asked me to meet him in person.
