Chapter 716 Goodnight, My Wife
Time passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, twelve days had slipped away quietly.
It was time for Martha and Stefan to head to Ulmore.
The couple packed a few clothes and boarded a private plane headed for Ulmore.
As soon as Martha stepped onto the plane, she felt tired and leaned on Stefan's shoulder before falling asleep.
When Stefan noticed the weight on his shoulder, he glanced over to see Martha's long lashes trembling slightly. Her shallowbreaths tickled his neck, making his heart itch with desire. But when he saw the dark circles under her eyes, he suppressed allromantic thoughts.
Martha had been working with Rhys at the studio most of these past few days so she had little time to rest. When she got home,it was usually just enough time for dinner.
Stefan thought about getting someone else to help but knew that Martha would never let anyone take over something she loveddoing herself because that was just who she is.
So all he could do was watch her work tirelessly while feeling sorry for her exhaustion.
After coming back from his thoughts, Stefan motioned towards a nearby flight attendant who came over immediately."Can you bring me a thin blanket?"
"Yes," replied the flight attendant respectfully before leaving quickly.
Soon after, they brought him a dark-colored blanket which Stefan carefully draped over Martha before leaning back in his seatwith closed eyes.
By the time they arrived in Ulmore, it was already midnight.
When they got back to their hotel room, Martha dragged herself into bed after taking a shower while Stefan went off to take onehimself once she fell asleep.
He listened quietly as she breathed softly in sleep, then smiled resignedly before he walked up close beside her bed and planteda gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Goodnight, my dear wife."
The next day, when Martha woke up and checked her phone, it read 8:30 AM, which made her widen her eyes in shock since heralarm should have gone off at eight o'clock sharp! She turned around only to find no trace of Stefan.
She didn't have time to think too much, suppressing the doubts in her heart and quickly getting up to go to the bathroom to washup.
Just as she finished washing up, Stefan pushed open the door and walked in.When he saw her, he clearly paused for a moment before asking with concern, "Are you hungry?"
"It's okay." Martha replied lightly, taking out her makeup bag from her luggage and heading straight for the bathroom to do lightmakeup.
After placing breakfast on the table, Stefan walked towards the bathroom. He leaned against the door frame and stared calmly atMartha doing makeup. "The competition time has changed."
"What?" Martha's movements paused for a moment as she looked at him in shock.
"The sponsor had some issues so they pushed back the finals by half an hour." Stefan raised his eyebrows before explainingslowly.
Martha furrowed her brows skeptically as she looked at him standing by the door. "Did you do it?"novelbin
Originally, the competition was scheduled for nine o'clock which gave Martha enough time if she set her alarm clock at eighto'clock sharp.
But Stefan had turned off her alarm clock earlier than that which meant that he knew about this change beforehand.Martha thought of this and looked at Stefan with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
This was a national painting competition with participants coming from all over the country; how could this man delay such animportant event just because of her?
Stefan remained calm even under Martha's increasingly fierce gaze. "It has nothing to do with me."
Martha frowned as suspicion filled her gaze while looking at him.
Stefan shrugged innocently,"You slept early last night, so you don't know they sent you a message about it later that night.""| read your message. | turned off your alarm clock so that you could sleep longer."Martha blinked doubtfully while asking hesitantly, "Really?"

Amoment later, Stefan frowned and looked pitifully at Martha."You see? It wasn't me.”Martha still looked at him skeptically and asked again, "It really wasn't you?"
"No," Stefan replied resignedly before adding, "If it were me involved though, it probably wouldn't just be a half-hour delay."
