Chapter 37

Herman hopped in the car with a sigh, even the driver couldn’t help but chuckle

“Mr. Salstrom, you’re still out and about this late, your wife must be worried sick ”

“Stop talking” Herman ordered sternly, “Back to Harmony Meadows.”

The driver set the car in motion, heading once again to Harmony Meadows.

On the ride, the driver got a call from his wife, asking when he’d be home.

Herman overheard the woman on the phone mentioning that she had saved dinner and was chatting about the kids‘ school updates.

“I got it, you love to nag, gotta hang up now,” the driver replied to his wife.

Despite his words, there was a satisfied smile on his face.

Herman curiously asked, “Does your wife always rush you to come horne for dinner?”

The driver laughed. “Yep, she says it doesn’t feel like home if we don’t eat together. We’ve been married for over a decade, she always keeps the house tidy, and the kids are such angels Coming home to them is always a joy, no matter how tired I am.”

Having been Herman’s driver for nearly eight years, he was quite casual in his conversation.

Herman couldn’t help but think about his home with Anastasia.

He often came home late due to work, so Anastasia was always responsible for keeping the house clean.

In his memory, the house was always tidy and filled with the scent of fresh flowers.

When he arrived home and opened the door, Anastasia had left a lamp on for him.
