Chapter 1277 Differences
Right then, Claire was overthinking at home, feeling extremely frustrated.
Upon hearing the ringing tone of her phone, she checked the caller ID without expectation. Much to her surprise, Rowan was calling her.
After being taken aback for a moment, Claire immediately swiped to answer, "Hello?" Her voice was soft, and her mood became much better.
"Sorry, Claire. I didn't see your message until just now," Rowan explained, "I've been too busy today. Had two urgent surgeries."
"You must be exhausted." Claire felt sorry for him and wasn't angry with him anymore.
"I'm OK. It's my duty."
"You must take good care of yourself." Claire wished she could share his burdens. "I can't be any help to you. Do you have assistants?"
"Yep." Rowan asked, "Why did you message me?"
Claire was amused. If she was sick, she would go to see him in the hospital. She messaged him because she missed him.
"Well..." Claire quickly returned to the present and asked, "Will you work overtime tonight?"
"Why?"
"If you have time, shall we have dinner together?" Claire couldn't stop missing him at all. Somehow, the more she wanted to repress her feelings, the more she thought of him.
"Sure. As you wish," Rowan answered gently, "Send me the restaurant address and time."
Suddenly, Claire overheard someone calling Rowan and realized he needed to return to work again. "Sure. Go ahead to work. I'll send you the information later," she agreed joyfully.
Their phone conversation ended.
Holding her phone, Claire curled her lips into a smile. Her happiness that had been gone for a whole day returned.
Although love was tough, love brought joy.
After receiving Rowan's call and hearing his voice, Claire felt spirited and energetic. She was enveloped by love.
No matter how busy Rowan was, if he could reply to her messages or return her calls on time, it would mean how much he loved and cared about her.
That was the attitude Claire looked forward to seeing in their relationship.
She was always idle, and Rowan was super busy, so she understood he wouldn't be with her all the time. However, she understood him and didn't think it was a big matter because she loved him.
Rowan was the superhero to guard human beings, so she would guard him.
Later in the evening, Claire estimated the time Rowan got off work and she needed for dressing up. She sent the restaurant address and time to Rowan and told him she would wait for him at the hospital entrance.
Then she entered her cloakroom.
Claire picked up a new dress and put it on, looking fashionable and adorable.
After taking a bath and putting on makeup, she left home.
Daphne knew Rowan had been super busy recently and had seen Rowan working overtime every day. Therefore, she didn't think it was an exception for him today.
Thinking that Rowan skipped dinner last night, Daphne felt sorry for him.
Therefore, she made time to order three dishes, soup, and some spaghetti from a restaurant nearby. Then she carried the lunchboxes to the dean's office.
Right then, Rowan had taken off his doctor's gown, ready to get off.
When Daphne stood at the door with the lunchboxes in a daze, Rowan darted to her and withdrew his gaze immediately. Then he rinsed his hands carefully before the sink.
Daphne gently put down the lunchboxes on his desk. "Rowan, are you getting off work now?"
"Ehn."
Daphne felt disappointed. Gazing at his back with a smile, she said, "I brought you dinner. Thought you would work overtime."
"Thanks. Please keep it yourself," Rowan said, "I've talked to other doctors. I'm not working overtime tonight." Then he dried his hands and left his office.
Daphne stood aside to make way, watching him bypass her.
