563 Sound Of My Hear (1/2)

”Have a good day, Mr. Salvay!”

”Mrs. Salvay, don't you want me to stay? I mean we just got married yesterday,” Darren was trying all his best to avoid going to work for today. But apparently, just because he married a lazy wife, didn't mean she'd let him be lazy as well.

Xiu poked his nose saying, ”No! I don't want you to stay.”

”Heartless,” he muttered under his breath.

Xiu pushed him towards the door, ”Don't act spoiled, Mr. Salvay. If you won't earn, how will you raise this lazy wife? You didn't go to work yesterday as well.”

Darren was baffled, ”Wifey, who goes to work on their wedding day?”

”That is why I didn't insist. But today, no more excuses.”

Darren exhaled a heavy breath before he put on his shoes and looked at her with a reluctant expression. He really didn't want to leave. But with this strict wife, he couldn't do much in retaliation.

Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled her in and kissed her lips. As he parted away, he said, ”Take care of yourself. I'll miss you so you miss me as well.”

Xiu placed her index finger right between his brows and pushed his head away saying, ”Stop trying to be romantic. It's completely unnecessary so early in the morning.”

Darren opened the door to leave and yet again looked back at her saying, ”Sweets, you changed after becoming my wife.”

Xiu pressed her lips together to hold back her laughter as she said, ”I know. That's why they say there is a huge difference in a lover and a wife.”

Darren waved her goodbye and took heavy steps away down the hallway.

”Don't forget we have to visit Clara mom in the evening. So, come back a little early.”

Hearing the reminder from behind, he raised his hand to acknowledge that he heard her.

Just as she came back inside, Xiu found Francesca having a fit of laughter on her own. Seeing Xiu's expression, she stopped laughing, ”Sorry! I couldn't help it. I have never seen my son acting like this.” She burst out laughing again while clutching her stomach. ”He acted like a kid who would make any excuse to avoid school.”

Xiu sat down beside Francesca as she asked, ”He never did these antics back in school?”

Francesca shook her head saying, ”Never! I told you he was a very sensible kid. He never made a fuss about school.”

Xiu couldn't help imagining the younger version of Darren and ended up smiling to herself. Originally, she planned on moving her stuff from her apartment to Darren's but seeing how everything was already available at his place, Xiu really had no idea what else to do.

Later, Francesca was about to leave as well to meet Zhao Wei so Xiu suggested, ”Why don't I go with you?”

Isn't that because of your son who didn't let me sleep at all last night? Apparently, the midnight 'workout' was a lot more important than sleeping. But she couldn't just tell this to Francesca no matter how blunt she always had been.

After Francesca also left, Xiu was the only person in the whole apartment. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to clean up the apartment just to pass some time. She was feeling bored anyway. So, for the next three hours, she cleaned so hard that everything was sparkling.
