The next second, Evelyn's answer confirmed her conjecture. "It's okay, Sadie. Go back to your room and have a rest."
Sadie noticed that something was wrong and immediately nodded. "Okay, okay. I'll go back and rest first. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
After a short conversation, Sadie returned to her room. The living room fell silent again, and a man bent down to change his shoes as if he hadn't heard this conversation.
Evelyn followed him into the bedroom. When she saw him take the clothes to the bathroom, she couldn't help raising her hand to stop him. She wanted to say something over and over again, but in the end, she said, "There's no need to take a shower."
"I just came back from the hospital. Let me take a shower." The light above his head fell on his face. His deep eye sockets were slightly closed, casting a shadow on his face. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After that, he even lowered his head and kissed her gently, as if he was afraid that she would be worried.
Evelyn was afraid that he would do something inside, but when she saw him calmly walk in and close the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She should also let herself relax. Otherwise, this tense atmosphere would only make it more difficult for him to get out of that mood.
Huston had always showered very quickly and usually finished within ten minutes. However, this time, he stayed inside for almost half an hour without coming out.
Evelyn knew that he was adjusting his mood and wanted to stay alone, so she didn't urge him. She just looked up at the reflection in the frosted glass from time to time to ensure that he was fine.
The clock on the wall slowly moved to 4:30 a.m. She didn't feel sleepy at all and didn't doze off all the way.
