Chapter 381 - 378: Warm Welcome (1/2)

Turning left after exiting the corridor, Serena saw through the open main doors, Geoffrey who just alighted his car. She doesn't know what came over her, but she just felt so elated to see him. Thus, she lifted her skirts and broke to a half run to give him a warm welcome.

Geoffrey who just alighted his car looked up and saw Serena who was uncharacteristically running towards his direction. First, he became worried, what was the rush? But then, he saw that she was smiling, and he could feel excitement and happiness exuding from her in waves. His heart felt warm and full, causing him to smile just as widely. Instinctively, he opened his arms to embrace her when she reached him.

Serena hugged Geoffrey, then looked up to tell him with her smile reaching her ears. ”Welcome home!”

Geoffrey could not help but smile back. ”Yes, I'm home.” He replied as he kissed her forehead. Then he asked, ”did something happen?”

Serena shook her head. ”I just missed you.”

Geoffrey chuckled. ”I missed you too.” Then, he tucked her hair behind her ear, ”now, though I really like this welcome, you should not run around and make me worry.”

Serena blushed and nodded her head. Gods, what was wrong with her? She just acted like some young housewife who can't stand being away from her husband for a few hours. Also, the house employs saw her acting just like that. ”Sorry.” She apologized. A bit embarrassed.

Geoffrey felt that he should have not dissuaded her, but he was also worried as she was with child. Anyhow, not wanting her to feel dejected and because he wanted to, he picked her up for a bridal carry.

Serena who felt herself being hoisted from the ground instinctively wrapped her hands around his neck. ”Geoffrey!” she exclaimed as she laughed, quickly forgetting about being lightly reprimanded.

Geoffrey just continued to smile, happy with the thought that he could get used to this.

The servants, well, they all just ate some dog food and started feeling sorry for their single lives. Just kidding.

”So, how was your first day back at work?” Serena asked as she helped Geoffrey undress. She never thought of it before but there were a lot of buttons in the minister's regalia.

Geoffrey who was looking at Serena while she was unbuttoning his clothes could not help but feel astonished. He did not expect her to welcome him the way she did, nor even help him with his clothes. These were all new things he's learning about her. Anyhow, not wanting to ruin the mood, he did not mention his observations and decided to just revel in the love she was giving him.

”A bit busier than usual as a lot of work have piled up while I was away. How about you? How was your day? What did you do while I was away?” Geoffrey inquired.

”Well, at first, when I woke up, I was saddened to know that my husband already left the house without even saying goodbye.”

”Serena…” Geoffrey was about to explain when Serena placed her finger on his lips to stop him from talking. Then, she continued.

”I know. I also heard about what you instructed the house employs, and though I find it sweet, that's not how I want it to be. I want to see you the first time I open my eyes in the morning, then have breakfast with you, and kiss you good luck to work before you leave. Anyhow, if I still feel sleepy, then I would just go back to sleep after.”
