When Armand came in after finishing cooking, he saw Theresa teasing the fishes as soon as he opened the door. He noticed her smile, which he hadn’t seen for a long time.

He wondered when he had seen her smiling last time.

It seemed to be centuries ago.

He wasn’t willing to break the rare silence, so he leaned against the door and watched her silently.

After a while, when Theresa saw him, he strode over.

Theresa asked, “How did you find this place?”

Armand answered, “There are a lot of house hunting apps nowadays. As long as I’m willing to pay, I can find a good apartment.”

Theresa understood. Although this was a small apartment, not as big as his house, it was quieter. She also felt quite cozy when staying here. When she was home, she even had to be careful when speaking, afraid of pissing Elizabeth.

If she continued to stay home, Theresa was afraid that she would be suffered from depression soon.

She stood up from the hanging chair. Since she was sitting there for a long time, her right leg went numb. She almost lost her balance and fell on the floor. Armand acted quickly and held her.

Theresa looked up, only to find that he was looking at her. He whispered, “Are you alright?”

She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. My leg went numb after I’ve sat for so long.”

Armand lifted her and carried her in his arms. Theresa struggled. He held her more tightly. “Stay still. Let me hold you for a while. It’s been a long time.”

He looked down at her and continued, “You’ve lost so much weight.”

Theresa gently curled up her lips into a smile. “Am I thin?”

“Of course.”

Armand put her on the chair next to the table, on which there were three light dishes - stir-fried green vegetable, stewed eggs and tofu with shrimps, and the seaweed soup.
