Then he leaned down and gave Rosalynn a peck on the lips, saying, “Have a seat, dinner will be ready in a second.”
“Okay.” Rosalynn took a seat at the dining table.
Wayne had taken care of the flowers she bought, arranging them in a vase on the kitchen island next to the dining area.
It wasn't long before Wayne came out with a Dutch oven.
Just as they sat down, Rosalynn’s phone began to ring.
Wayne went to fetch it from the other room. “It's Sean Hudy.” he said.d2
“It must be about work.” Rosalynn took the phone, playfully slapped Wayne's behind, “Ms. Tesdal has to handle some business now, you be a good boy and don't make trouble, alright?”
Wayne immediately put on his best ‘angelic’ expression and sat down beside Rosalynn.
Rosalynn didn’t like her food too hot.
So, Wayne carefully ladled the stew onto a small plate to cool it down.
During this process, Wayne suddenly wondered, when was the last time he and his wife had sat down for a meal like this?
Upon reflection, he was shocked to realize that it was before she had faked her death and left...
“Go ahead with the plan you've drafted; I won't have time in the coming days, and I might not always be reachable by phone. Handle what you can on your own.”
Sean acknowledged on the other end of the line, after a few more words, Rosalynn hung up.
“What are you looking at?” Rosalynn put down the phone, turning her questioning gaze towards Wayne.
Wayne said nothing. He leaned in close to Rosalynn and kissed her lips with the reverence of one treasuring a precious gem, "Honey, the god really hasn’t been hard on me. I’ve made so many mistakes, I should be facing karma. But he allowed you to walk away from that plane, giving me a chance to come back to you and make amends.”
