Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 58

Back in the house.

Yvonne felt restless after Samuel left. As the hours slowly ticked past, she lay on the bed, unable to

drift into sleep. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She clutched onto her phone. She watched the seconds trickling into minutes. It turned eleven all too

soon.

Usually, she would be asleep by now, since she would go for her morning jog the next day. Why did her

eyelids refuse to close then?

At that moment, Yvonne realized that Samuel was a part of her life that she could not lose. Even

though he only slept on the floor, he held such an important place in her heart.

She wanted to call him and ask when he would be coming back, but he did make it clear that he had

something to do before he left the house. Yvonne did not want to pester him.

Just like that, she stayed awake the whole night. The sky just began to break into dawn when Yvonne

finally heard the clicking of the door. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Samuel had never expected to be held up the entire night. He tiptoed into the room and realized that

Yvonne was still sleeping. He released a breath of

relief.

However, he then noticed that her lashes were twitching, and her eye bags had worsened. Dark circles

also ringed her eyes. "Don't tell me you were awake the whole night?" he said with a bitter smile.

A jolt of surprise rang through Yvonne when she heard what Samuel said. She did not want him to

know about that, so she continued to pretend to be sleeping.

Samuel knew that she was faking it, but he did not call her out on it. He lay down on the floor mattress.

"A friend of mine ran into some trouble. That’s why I was out the whole night,” he said, as though he

were talking to himself.

Yvonne had the urge to ask what exactly happened, but she was pretending to be asleep. She would

be caught dead in the act if she said anything.

"There are some people who are worth sacrificing your life for. He taught me a lesson today. I won't let

something like that happen to me," Samuel said softly. The worst decision Manfred ever made in his life

was t o retire and disappear from his world. He thought that he could live out his days peacefully, but

he did not know that he could not completely wash his hands off the world he had once ruled over.

Yvonne could not rein it in any longer. She put on a haphazard mask of someone who has just woken

up." I'm still sleeping," she said irritably. "Do you want to b e thrown out of the room, with you yapping

on like

that?"

Samuel held pillows in his arms and looked at Yvonne on the bed. "Take a day off and rest at home

today," he said gently.

Shame twanged in Yvonne. Did he already know?

How awkward.

"There’s no reason to take leave. Besides, I have an important meeting today. They can't run it without

m e. Oh, but I won't go for the morning jog," Yvonne said.

Samuel chuckled, then remained silent. If he truly decided to expose her ruse, he would probably be

forced to sleep on the couch.

He got up at 8am and made porridge, waiting for it to cool before waking Yvonne up. He wanted her to

get a s much sleep as she could.

Yvonne was digging into her breakfast when Lydia walked out of her room. She had wanted to question

Samuel about the whole car fiasco last night, but she and her husband had been caught in a night of

passion instead. She had no choice but to postpone the questioning.

"Your uncle and his family are coming to Cloud City today, Yvonne,” Lydia said. "Tell your husband to

take them from the station at three in the afternoon."

Yvonne shot her mother a testy look. It was not as if Samuel was not right there. Why could she not tell

him herself?

"Mom, what are you doing?" Yvonne said.

Lydia's attention sidled toward her son-in-law, fuming. "I won't reprimand you about the new car. It's

already in the past, after all," she said. "But you'd better go and admit everything to Grandmother

yourself if she ever finds out about this. Tell her that you forced Yvonne to buy it for you and that it has

nothing to do with Yvonne. It's to prevent her from wrongfully punishing Yvonne." "Sure thing," Samuel

replied.
