“Callum is even worse than George,” thought Louisa, the only one who truly understood the extent. of Callum’s dreadfulness, while others could only catch a glimpse.
“Louisa, no matter what, you can’t put your body in danger…” Before Lumma could finish, she heard rustling and Callum’s sleepy voice over the phone.
“Darling, why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? Who are you calling outside the room? Are you secretly keeping a young lover behind my back?”
Lumma didn’t intend to pry into the private matters of their marriage, so she promptly ended the call.
Though she was already exhausted, Lumma found herself wide awake after their lengthy conversation.
She rose from her bed, switched on her computer, and poured her heart into a two-thousand-word letter. Afterward, she created a Twitter account under a pen name to follow Louisa and privately sent her the letter.
Lumma was never fond of sharing her life on social media, which explained why she had never bothered to register for such accounts.
It was only for the sake of Louisa that she had made an exception.
Having sent the private message, Lumma logged out of the account, with no intentions of tending to it in the future.
With these tasks completed, the dawn was approaching, and Lumma finally surrendered to a deep slumber.
Having prepared the dishes and toasted the bread, Lumma eagerly awaited Harry and the others to return home from work, ready to feast.
With these tasks fulfilled, Lumma gathered a few snacks and retreated to her room. Seated at her desk, she resumed her comic drawing.
Meanwhile, Adam, who had promised to accompany his wife, found himself in Harrison at that very moment.
As he entered with bags filled with various gifts, Catherine couldn’t help but become anxious. “Boy, have you been bullying Lumma again?”
“Grandma, I’ve assured you that I’ll treat Lumma well, and I shall never go back on my word.” Adam, lacking expertise in nurturing a marriage, sought advice from those with experience.
