“Alright, I’ll let you settle things. You’re free to make any decisions,” Maxwell stuttered.Sonnet laughed on the other end of the call. “In that case, tell me if you can resolve all your problems within half a year.”Maxwell thought about it carefully and said, “I can’t tell you for sure. It’ll take a rather long time.” “I inspected an apartment unit. The rental fees and location are great. The unit is clean and well-furnished as well. However, the landlord is asking for a minimum upfront payment of six months’ rent. Therefore, I wanted to ask you…” “In that case, I’ll rent the unit for half a year!” Maxwell said right away.Although he did not need to stay at the unit, he could afford to pay the rental fees as long as it made Sonnet happy! “Alright, I’ll confirm the rental for you!” Sonnet was overjoyed. “How much are the rental fees? I’ll transfer the sum to you,” Maxwell asked. Sonnet waved her hands and said, “You don’t need to pay me back. I’ll pay the rent.” “
Maxwell hung up on the call. He then recalled that he had forgotten to ask Sonnet about the location of the apartment unit that she was planning to rent. He thought about it for a while and decided not to bother about it. Since his wife was renting the place for him, he did not mind its location at all. He was overwhelmed with joy when he thought about how he would soon be able to move into an apartment unit that his wife had rented for him and interact intimately with her. While waiting for the elevator to arrive, he could not resist taking his phone to look at the photos of Sonnet that he had saved in his gallery. He had secretly taken those photographs of Sonnet while they were in the hotel the other day. Sonnet had not been aware that he was taking photographs of her at all. Regardless of the angle, his wife looked beautiful in all of the photographs. She exuded unique beauty while holding her pregnant stomach in some of the photos. His heart filled with love as he admire
Maxwell finally calmed down and started the car. Once he started driving, Maxwell asked Sonnet, “Where are we going?” “I’ll give you directions. You just need to focus on driving.” Sonnet pursed her lips and smiled. She wanted to surprise Maxwell. Therefore, she did not tell him where the apartment was located. Maxwell caressed the tip of her nose with his finger. He said in a doting tone, “How mischievous”. He then focused on driving. However, the longer Maxwell drove, the more suspicious he felt. He had an ominous feeling when he turned the car onto the road heading to Paradise Residential Area. “Darling, which residential area is the apartment located in?” He finally asked Sonnet. This road led to a few residential areas. It could not be such a coincidence… “Paradise Residential Area.” The car slowed down at once. Sonnet’s body pitched forward. She then pouted unhappily, “What’s the matter?” Maxwell immediately resumed driving at a normal speed. “I’m sorry,
Sonnet exclaimed softly. She then wrapped her arms around Maxwell’s neck. Her husband was extremely fit. If he wanted to carry her up the stairs, she would let him do so! Maxwell carried Sonnet, who was pregnant, up to the third floor. He did not pant at all. After walking to the door of Unit 302, Sonnet got down from Maxwell’s arms. She then opened the door. As soon as the door closed behind them, Maxwell moved closer to Sonnet and wrapped his arms around her. He then kissed her on the lips. His wife’s skin was extremely soft and fragrant. He could never get enough of her! Sometime later, both panted heavily as they parted from each other.Sonnet’s face flushed as she remarked softly, “It seems like kissing me is more tiring than carrying me up the stairs. You weren’t even out of breath when carrying me up the stairs, but you’re panting so hard after kissing me!” Maxwell already had a low and gravelly voice. However, his voice was a lot huskier right now. “You taste
Lindy took out a large paper bag from the plastic bags in her hands. The smell of stinky tofu wafted out into the air. Sonnet and the children instantly surrounded Lindy and opened the paper bag. “Wow, it stinks!” Lune exclaimed.“The more it stinks, the more flavorful it tastes!” Jaybie added.Sonnet disregarded what they said. She picked up a slice of tofu and stuffed it in her mouth straight away. Lindy looked at the greedy expressions on their faces. She could not resist laughing, “I thought that you would no longer like having stinky tofu after getting pregnant. Who knew that you’d like it even more?! Tell me how many times you’ve had it recently! I feel like I can smell it on you every day!”Sonnet chewed on the stinky tofu and smiled at Lindy. It was truly rather odd. After getting pregnant, she became much more sensitive to scents. Initially, she liked having food with strong flavors such as onions and garlic. However, she did not really like such flavorful food now.
After leaving her apartment, Sonnet took the paper bag to the building next door. She remembered that Maxwell liked having stinky tofu. He had been in recuperation for the past year, so he probably did not have the chance to eat it. Therefore, she purposely came up with a lie to send the stinky tofu over to him. She walked up to the third floor happily. She then knocked on his door, but no one responded. She was shocked. It was already past eight o’clock at night. Where was her silly husband? Why was he not at home? She was rather worried about him, so she dialed his number at once. While she dialed Maxwell’s phone number, Johnson, who was crawling on the ground with Jaybie and Lune on his back, stiffened at once. The phone in his pocket was vibrating. He only used that phone to contact Sonnet. Sonnet must be calling him! “Uncle Johnson, what’s the matter? Is your phone vibrating?” Jaybie tilted his head and asked Johnson while sitting on his back. “Oh, right. About
Sonnet caressed his face gently and said, “I hope you manage to resolve all of your problems quickly. That way, we’ll be able to live together soon.” Maxwell held her hands and pressed his lips against them. “I’ll try my best. I’ll work hard to resolve all of my problems as soon as possible!”“Do you need help? Marcus seemed to be pretty close to you. Why don’t you tell him that you’re still alive and ask him to help you out?” Sonnet was rather worried about him. In the past, he was just a foolish young man that stayed cooped up at home all day. He did not know many people. Although he did not lose his life in such a dangerous situation and even managed to recover from his mental impairments, it would still take him some time to build up his social network. “I don’t need his help for the time being. The fewer the number of people that know I’m alive, the better it’ll be for me.” “But you need help from other people as well…” “I’m getting help from some people. My dad had
Just when Sonnet started getting immersed in kissing Maxwell in the dim room, her phone suddenly rang. She instantly snapped out of the haze that she was in and took out her phone. Her heart lurched when she noticed that Lindy was calling her. She returned to her senses, walked away from Maxwell, and picked up the call. “Mom, why is it taking you so long to send the stinky tofu over the cleaner?” Jaybie’s voice rang out on the other end of the call. Sonnet was about to answer Jaybie’s question when Maxwell started biting on her earlobe from behind. “Mom?” Jaybie raised his voice on the other end of the call. Sonnet pushed Maxwell away frantically and glared at him. He then chuckled lowly and moved away from her. Taking a deep breath, Sonnet said to Jaybie, “Oh, I chatted with the cleaner for a while.” “Hand the phone over to the cleaner. I’d like to chat with her as well!” Lune came over and called out on the other end of the call. Sonnet started panicking. She then
