Chapter 094 Wait...

As night fell, Betty and Michael stepped through the doorway.

Betty was quieter than usual, but noticeably more at ease than in the morning.

Once home, Michael scurried off to do his homework, while Betty prepared dinner.

During the meal, Betty, maintaining her long-standing habit, lovingly served food onto Michael's plate.

Michael, in a better mood, devoured his meal voraciously.

Betty watched him eat with a tender gaze; despite the lack of blood ties, this boy might be the only son she'd ever have.

Unable to bear children herself, Betty had poured all her maternal love into Michael.

Betty's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions as she watched Michael—panic, fear, a hint of shyness, and even a subtle anticipation.

After dinner, Betty tidied up while Michael continued with his homework.

However, Michael seemed distracted, frequently glancing towards the door, eagerly hoping Betty would come to help him with his studies.
