I walked out of the room and looked around the house to see that everything here was the exact same as before as if the place was frozen in time. It seemed to let us know how much our lives had changed during the time we had been away.
The room had gone through some light cleaning, and there was a faint smell of milk, which was supposed to help with sleeping. However, it made me hungry instead.
It was already late by the time I brought Munchkin back, and I did not want to disturb the servant as she had been working all afternoon. I let her rest after putting Munchkin to sleep.
Now, I was the only person in this empty room.
I peeked at the empty kitchen which I had not entered in a long time because Theo did not allow it.
Now that I had the chance, how could I resist the urge?
The thought of it made my heart flutter.
I ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator that was filled with every ingredient I could think of.
I did not want to eat too much at this hour, so I just got the ingredients to make myself a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
While the water was boiling on the stove next to me, I washed the vegetables and decided to make some eggs.
After cracking and beating two eggs, the golden yolk in the frying pan reminded me of the first time Theo cooked for me. My heart started to feel warm and fuzzy.
It was a pity that he could not taste the soup I was making right now.
Not long after, a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup was served. I placed it on the living room coffee table instead of the dining table to watch reality shows at the lowest possible volume. 1 prepared to enjoy my chicken noodle soup.
The moment I lifted my spoon, I heard the sound of the door being opened.
I thought that it was a thief, so I immediately turned around. The second the door opened, Theo appeared in the doorway. For a second there, we both looked at each other in surprise.
