Noble Husband At the Door (Antonio) novel 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.

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.

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.
