chapter 65

As the car rolled to a stop in front of Rose's apartment, she stretched with a sigh. "Finally home."

I smiled. "Get some rest. Tomorrow's another busy day."

She gave me a look. "Like you're one to talk. Try not to overwork yourself, Lyla."

"I'll try," I said lightly, knowing she wouldn't believe me.

After she got out, I drove home, the familiar streets passing by in a blur. By the time I stepped into the house, the comforting warmth of home washed over me. The faint scent of food lingered in the air, and I heard the soft clinking of utensils from the dining area.

Noah was already there, setting the table. He looked up when he saw me, a small smile appearing on his face. "You're back."

I nodded, walking over. "And you actually waited for me to eat?"

He raised a brow. "Of course. What kind of husband would I be if I ate without my wife?"

I rolled my eyes but smiled, taking a seat across from him as he brought the dishes over.
