Chapter 1254

Angela glanced at the time and felt her impatience intensify. She glanced over her shoulder at the simple welcome-home arrangement she had just created. There was a bouquet of fresh flowers, a bottle of fine red wine, and several scented candles lit and flickering in the dim apartment. Indeed, this was the ideal and romantic setting for her husband to return home. As for the gift. she believed she was the best gift she could give him.

The seconds ticked by slowly, and Richard had informed her that he would be home by 9.00PM, which was only five minutes away. Moreover, he was a man of his word, and punctuality was Typically his Achilles heel. So, Angela was sure he would be home on the dot.

Angela spent the next five minutes slowly tasting the wine in her hand, then looked down as the minute hand ticked slowly toward the number ’12’ on the face of the clock. She sighed and tolerated Richard’s slight tardiness as long as he arrived home safely. She had just begun to consider the possibility when she heard a soft beep from the door. The audible beep signified that the fingerprint was successfully read. Angcla immediately set down her glass of wine and sprinted toward the door upon hearing the door open. A man was taking off his shoes and putting on his slippers. It could only be Richard.

Angela’s lips curled into a smile as she approached him slowly and enticingly. She was proud that he was a man of his work. She appreciated that he never abandoned her or made empty promises.

“Darling. I want a hug.” she whispered as she spread licr arms wide and waited to be crnbraced. She resembles a lonely kitten who was desperate for some attention.

Richard immediately removed his coat because he did not want the dust and dirt on it to get on his precious wife. I glared at her appreciatively before extending his arms to pull her into his embrace. He pressed his check against hers and murmured next to her car, “Have you been wearing this all night? You’ll catch a cold.”
