Chapter 397
She gave Nigel an understanding look and carried Puffy upstairs. Nigel blushed. He watched as Sage went upstairs, then turned to Sean and bickered, “Sage is still around. Be mindful of your words…”
The night passed silently. Sage got up and freshened up herself. Then, she walked downstairs with careful steps. She did not want to wake Nigel and Sean up and thought of making breakfast for them.
She was surprised to hear some noises in the kitchen as soon as she went downstairs. Sean was already up and was frying some eggs.
Sean heard the movement behind him and turned slightly. “You’re up so early?”
“Yeah. Good morning.”
Sage greeted him and strode into the kitchen.
Sage had only seen Sean in the image of a lawyer in a suit. It was the first time seeing him in home clothes and an apron. Sean did not wear his glasses either. He looked very gentle in his homely appearance. He skillfully put the fried eggs on the plate and asked Sage, “Did you sleep well last night?” Sage nodded and said, “Yup. I slept soundly.” Seeing her in good spirits, it seemed like she had slept well. Sean smiled softly and said, “It seems like the renovation is worth it.”
Sage was lost for words. She understood the implied meaning and blushed. Then, she hurriedly changed the subject, “Is Nigel still sleeping?”
Sean glanced up at the clock.
Ding!
The toaster made a sound. Then, he said, “He’s coming down soon.”
As soon as he said that, Nigel appeared in his messy bed hair. He yawned as he came downstairs. The buttons on his pajamas were all messed up, exposing much of his neck.
Sage sighed in her heart. Indeed, the soundproofing in the house was great.
