Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 376

I…

Well, rich people lived a different kind of lifestyle.

To be honest, I was exhausted, and I did not say much during the journey. Charlie was not much of a talker either. Like Idris, he could maintain silence for entire trips.

When we arrived at the hotel, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Just as I parked the car, I suddenly noticed Idris standing at the entrance, looking frosty.

His face was shrouded in darkness, making it hard to read his expression, but I could sense he was not in a good mood.

As I quickly got out of the car, I immediately sensed that Idris was fuming. I needed to explain why we were returning so late. I walked up to him, looking at his restrained demeanor, and said, "Idris, I..."

"Are you okay?" He interrupted me, looking me up and down. Once he confirmed that I was fine, he continued, "Let's go back and rest."

With that, he pulled me into the hotel.

I turned to see Charlie, who had also gotten out of the car. He stood outside, his expression devoid of emotion. Inch was waiting there too. I was not too worried about them and waved my hand awkwardly to signal that everything was fine.

Back in the room, Idris did not ask where I had been that night. His voice was heavy as he said, "Get some rest. If you need anything, call me."

As he was about to leave, I grabbed his arm and said, "After I was finished chatting to Sweety, she left without having dinner with me. I happened to run into Charlie, so I invited him to join me. I had ordered a lot of food and didn't want it to go to waste. Originally, I was planning to come back after dinner, but on our way back, we found a severely injured pregnant cat. I wanted to save her, so I and Charlie took her to the city to find a pet hospital. After the cat had surgery and was safe, we returned. That's why it took so long."

I explained everything in one breath and looked up at him, unsure if he would still be angry.

He stared at me for a long time without saying a word, but his expression had softened. Eventually, he raised his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and said, "Are you explaining yourself to me right now?"
