Lucy had gone back to the house in Chris's car. She had told Chelsa, Nick, and Zoe to work before the office hours. Lucy reached around seven o'clock. Getting off the car she went inside.
She brought back the lunch that her husband had made for her. She was feeling very much reluctant about it. When she carried it to the living room Robin was in the room cleaning the floor and all.
Seeing her he looked up stopping his work. '' Welcome back Lucy how was your day ? '' he asked with a bright smile on her face. '' Ah hmm, it was well. How was yours ?'' she asked hiding it behind her.
'' My was great as ever. I am finished with the cleaning want to make me some snack for you ?'' asked Robin walking up to her. '' You don't have to trouble yourself though I am not that much hungry '' she asserts. '' Why isn't he going away? I want to take care of the food quickly. Why didn't I took care of it in the office? ''.

'' Your husband is so protective Miss Lucy. But why's he dressing so plainly?'' Chelsa commented.'' This is my wish to dress up like this. As I don't earn anything that's why I like to dress plainly.

I can't even gift anything to my wife. I do housework. I cook three meals a day for my wife. I even wash clothes. I stay like a servant in my own house. But I don't mind that at all. I don't even mind it at all,'' Robin stands beside Lucy while saying that.Lucy looks at him in awe. '' I love
