Tonight, it was either because I was exhausted or because Theo had lit some sandalwood, but I slept peacefully.
When I woke up the next day, I was refreshed.
However, after looking at the time, I was completely stunned.
It was 10 o'clock!
"Didn't I set the alarm? Why didn't it go off?" I picked up the phone and turned it on to realize that the alarm clock was off.
Who else could it be besides Theo?
At a glance, I saw a note on the table. I grabbed it and looked at it: [I noticed that you were exhausted last night. You were even snoring when you were asleep. I’ll give you the day off today. Have a good rest. I told Nicky to request for leave on your behalf. Signing off, your husband Theo],
This was slander. I did not snore.
I rolled over and got out of bed angrily. After washing up, I went downstairs. The weather was clear today and everything was fine. "Good morning, Caroline," I greeted.
"Good morning, Madam. Have some breakfast." Caroline pointed to the breakfast on the table.
"Alright."
After having some food, I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched, and looked right into the garden. I was rarely in a good mood, so why not water some flowers?
Thinking about this, I grabbed the watering bucket and went out. There were many kinds of flowers planted in the garden. I could smell the fragrances of the different flowers from time to time, which was refreshing and intoxicating.
I was addicted to doing this. After watering the flowers, I could not help but close my eyes and continue to enjoy the moment.
Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the silence. I answered the phone and was stunned when I heard the voice. "Susan?"
Was she still in Whaldorf City?
"Do you want to meet up, Wanda?"
