The Woman From Hell

Drover had been coming back late every day these days. I was in the living room today, waiting for him to come back, but I fell asleep.

In my daze, someone put a blanket over me. When I woke up, I saw Drover's gentle face. He was looking at me, and his tone was soft. "Are you up?"

"You're back." I could hear my voice sounding hoarse. I got up and yawned. "Are you hungry? I'll go make you some noodles."

He nodded lightly. "Okay."

I got up and went into the kitchen.

I came out not long after with a bowl of noodles. Drover was sitting in the dining room, waiting for me. His tie was loosened, and his handsome face looked a little tired, but he still faced me with a smile. "It smells and looks good. Do you want to have some too?"

"There's still some in the pot. I'll go grab it."

We sat face-to-face. Marius had already gone to sleep, and it was just the two of us for the night.

While slurping his noodles, Drover asked me, "Why are you still down here when it's so late?"

"I was waiting for you to come back but ended up falling asleep," I said naturally.

These words, however, stunned Drover for a moment. The movements in his hands slowed down, and a smirk reached the corners of his lips. "You were waiting for me? What for?"
