At night at 11 o'clock, Ray just arrived at the mansion after lingering in the office. He walked into the room, then saw Elena sleeping on the sofa curled up in a long pajama suit. .the man closed the door again, and slowly walked over to his wife who looked very sad with a face without make-up and her hair looked messy.

'Why, Elena... Why are you doing this to me... you make me feel like I have to hate you,' he thought.

Elena stretched, massaging her shoulders, and then fell back asleep with her back to Ray. She didn't even notice her husband's presence.

Ray took off his black coat and put it on the shoulder of the sofa, then unbuttoned the top of his shirt to reveal a bit of his chest. .he approached Elena, then picked her up and moved her to the bed.

Drett... Drtt...

Ray glanced at Elena's cell phone that was on the table, then saw an incoming call from Sarah. He also wanted to answer the call but immediately discouraged his intention.

.'I can't be presumptuous,' he thought.

The woman felt confused because her husband had not returned from shopping since noon."This is the first time Mr. Ray has been shopping for this long," Stefania muttered, looking at the yard."Maybe he has a lot to buy or maybe he's doing something other than shopping," Elena said, looking at her cell phone, waiting for a message or call from Ray. "or maybe something made him suddenly mad at me? But what? maybe Oskar or Evans said something to make him angry and then lazy to see me again?" Elena wondered."That won't happen because he promised that he wouldn't be influenced by Oskar or Evans," Stefania replied. ."I'm sure he won't be back soon as he is very busy indeed. Or maybe he prepared a surprise for you?""I don't know, I miss him," Elena said languidly.Stefania smiled, glancing at Elena who was now showing her love for Ray.
