Noble Husband At the Door novel Chapter 53

Samuel nodded without hesitation.

"Go ahead if you have something to do. But...” Yvonne's voice suddenly trailed off.

"But what?” Samuel asked, curious.

"Nothing." Yvonne quickly returned to her room. She wanted to tell him to not go around seeing other women, but those words made her feel strange.

The two were husband and wife, but they did not live like husband and wife. Yvonne was still not used to delving into Samuel's extremely personal affairs.

She sat on the bed and lifted the pillow. There was a pair of scissors hidden beneath it. She had placed it there three years ago.

During their first year of marriage, Yvonne had clutched onto the scissors every night to sleep. She only gradually let her guard down later. Now, she thought that it was time to keep the scissors.

"I have no idea how you resist a beauty like me," she muttered to herself. She was not aware of her reddening cheeks and kept the scissors in the closet.

She stood in front of the mirror, evaluating her figure, her porcelain-smooth complexion. Did he really not have a spark of desire for her?

"Gah. What am I thinking?” Yvonne's face was as red a

s a beetroot; she felt so ashamed that she was a mess.

Only the two of them were at home for dinner. Now that Yvonne was a project manager, they were financially better off; Lydia and Godfrey hardly ate dinner at home.

This was a good thing though. It gave Samuel and Yvonne space for themselves.

After they finished eating, Samuel tidied the table and prepared to wash the dishes. Yvonne stopped him. "Go out first if you have something to do," she said, standing up. "I'll wash them. Just come back early, okay?"

Shock and elation both sparked in his chest. "No need," he said. "I'll settle it very quickly."

Yvonne glared at him. "Just go when I let you go," she said. "Don’t spew such nonsense."

Samuel flashed a sheepish smile and put down the cutlery in his hands. "I'll be off first then. I'll come back once I've settled the matter."
