His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 5

“Lailah, over here, over here,”

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw my little niece waving her little hand in the crowd.

With a smile on my face, I lifted my niece up and said to my sister, “It’s late at night, I told you that you didn’t need to come and pick me up.”

“You thought I wanted to come. It’s all because of you, my precious niece, who kept nagging to meet you, you silly aunt.”

My sister reached out and hugged me, inadvertently glancing at my flat stomach with a heart full of

tenderness.

Just as I was about to comfort her, she unexpectedly pinched my face and scowled at me, complaining that I was as thin as a stick.

“Starting from tomorrow, every day I had to drink a bowl of lobster soup, whether I liked it or not, there was no room for negotiation.”

“Okay, whatever you say is what it is, because you are my only sister.”

I sniffed my sour nose, holding my niece in my arms, and got into my sister’s car. The three of us chatted and laughed all the way back home.

Even though it was already 4 o’clock in the morning, my parents were still sitting in the living

room.

After confirming that my sister and I had safely returned home, they happily went back to their rooms to sleep, only after drinking our favorite childhood honey iced tea.

After finishing washing up, I lay on the bed for a few minutes, and as someone who had difficulty falling asleep, I slept quickly and deeply.
