A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

As night fell, Estelle was all alone sitting at the dining table. The dishes on the table had already cooled down. Clean plates were neatly set on the table, but she still didn't eat anything.

After a while, Estelle instinctively looked out of the window. It was already dark outside. The faint light of the street lamps lit up the streets, but the house was brightly lit.

Estelle looked at her watch and noticed that it was already late. She sat restlessly at the table, eagerly waiting for someone's return.

“Knock, knock…“ someone called out from outside and opened the door.

The sound of the door opening startled Estelle. She immediately looked at the door with an expectant look on her face.

As the door opened, it revealed Ethan standing on the other side. He stepped into the house and closed the door behind him. When he looked up, he saw the dishes on the table and Estelle, who looked excited to see him.

When he noticed that the dishes on the table were untouched, Ethan furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to be angry. He asked in a displeased tone, “Why haven't you eaten yet?“

Estelle shrugged at him. She sat up straight and seemed to be full of energy. She looked up at him and replied, “I was waiting for you.“

“I told you that you don't have to wait for me.“ Ethan strutted towards the table and sat beside her. When he saw her expression, he suddenly felt sorry for her.

Without replying, Estelle stood up and grabbed the dishes. “I'll just heat these up.“

As he watched her walk away from him, Ethan said nothing.

The sound of Estelle shifting the utensils around could be heard from the kitchen. Ethan leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes in contemplation. He realized how wonderful his life was. No matter what time he came home, there was always a woman waiting for him in a brightly lit house.

After a few minutes, Estelle came back and put the dishes on the table one by one. The dishes smelled fantastic. Thanks to Estelle heating them back up, it was as if they were still freshly cooked. Ethan's stomach grumbled as he saw the appetizing dishes in front of him.

Eagerly, Ethan took the plate and chopsticks and began to eat. Estelle gave him a tender smile and started to eat too.
