LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU

"You are leaving again?" Amelia's voice trembled with sadness and frustration, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"Yes, I will be out of the country for a week, but I'll be back in time for the exhibit," Kendrick assured her, his hands deftly folding clothes into his suitcase. His movements were precise, yet there was an underlying urgency. Kendrick paused, looking up to meet Amelia's gaze, his eyes softening. "I promise."

"Alright," Amelia sighed, her heart heavy as she retreated to bed. The room felt colder without Kendrick's presence. She hugged her knees to her chest, the emptiness gnawing at her. As Amelia lay there, her mind wandered. 'It's been over a month since I took Brother Haitao's pills. I should be healed and able to conceive soon,' Amelia thought just as Kendrick slipped into bed beside her, his warmth a small comfort.
