Capture Her Heart After Marriage

“Checkup?” Alexia blinked in surprise. “But I was just…”

“It’s up to me.” Chaim’s face became serious.

He needed to make sure that she was in the best physical condition before the bone marrow donation, so she wouldn’t have any complications after.

Knowing he was unhappy with her, Alexia shrank back and nodded, “I understand.”

His expression eased a little before he spoke again, “I have something to do this afternoon so you will find your own way home.”

“Will you be home tonight at least?”

Chaim frowned without answering. The thought of Chaim not being home again that night upset Alexia, but she did her best to keep a calm demeanor. “I’ll leave now.”

“Ok,” Chaim mumbled.

That afternoon, the secretaries brought Alexia a large stack of accounting records from the past few years, asking her to sort them all out.

Not wanting to upset Chaim and also wanting to make up for the mistakes she’d made, Alexia took the job. She worked diligently on it until she finished and was one of the last to leave the office that evening.

At 9 p.m., Alexia finally returned to the villa, finding the whole place silent and Aunt Song nowhere to be seen. Alexia looked around the living room and noticed a slip of paper on the coffee table. That’s when Alexia remembered Aunt Song had gone home.

“Of course she’s not here. I’m already so tired and hungry.” Alexia muttered, before sighing and rolling up her sleeves.

Seeing as it was already so late, Alexia decided to make something from her childhood, buttered noodles.
