Why are you up so early? Shouldn’t you try to get a little more sleep?” I asked in confusion when I saw Michael fully dressed and about to go wash up in the bathroom.
I know he’s a workaholic and all, but it’s the weekends right now, and anyone in their right mind would want to sleep in! This man really is something else…
“I’m dropping you off at the station. After that, I’ll head back to the mansion and carry on sleeping.”
His reply had me both surprised and happy at the same time. I didn’t think a man like him was capable of being so caring and thoughtful.
“That won’t be necessary. I can just hail a cab there.”
As much as I wanted for him to send me there, I decided to refuse his offer out of courtesy anyway. I didn’t want him thinking that I wanted to be seen with him in public so I could call myself his girlfriend.
“Give me ten minutes.” Michael shot me a glare before heading into the bathroom.
After taking some time to regain my composure, I dragged my suitcase into the living room and waited for Michael.
As expected, he came out of the bedroom in less than ten minutes. Instead of his usual formal attire, Michael was dressed in a white jersey and a pair of black sweatpants. That was the first time I had seen him in such casual clothes, and he looked so vibrant and handsome that I blushed without even realizing.
Michael drove off without another word after dropping me off at the station, which made me feel a little disappointed.
It took me a moment to recompose myself before heading over to the ticketing lobby. After purchasing my bus ticket, I waited patiently for the bus to arrive.
After spending about half the day on the bus, I finally reached my hometown. As my house was located in the village, I had to take quite a long walk from the bus station to get there.
Since I had given my mom a call before heading home, she was already waiting for me as soon as I entered the village.
“You must be tired after such a long trip, huh? Here, I’ll help you with the bags!”
My mom took my stuff over the moment she saw me, including the supplements that I had bought for my dad on my way here.
“How is Dad, Mom? Is he getting any better?”
I began chatting with my mom while walking next to her.
“He’s much better after the surgery, so don’t you worry! All you have to do is focus on your work, okay? I’ll take good care of him!”
The two of us soon arrived at the house after a brief chat.
I took some time to catch up with my dad at home while my mom prepared dinner. My younger brother, Steven, came home in the evening.
