Chapter 574 Tonight, Just the Two of Us
After leaving the bar, Stefan took a half-hour drive to the beach before returning home.
He didn't want to go back reeking of alcohol and worry Martha and Jimmy.novelbin
At first, he felt that Martha was acting strange, but deep down, he didn't want to believe that she hadchanged.
It wasn't until Eden's enlightenment that he realized maybe it was because they had faced so manychallenges together that their current life seemed unreal.
He parked his car by the beach and quietly felt the gentle sea breeze on his face.
Hollie pretended to be his childhood playmate at first and framed Martha; he was so blinded that hewas fooled by Hollie.
Fortunately, Martha faked her death and went abroad.
When she came back again, they couldn't be together due to Jimmy's illness.
Later, Martha went to Z Country to avenge her mother.
Now they were finally together again after experiencing so much.
His eyes lowered as he took a deep breath.
Martha was someone whom he shouldn't have doubted just because something felt off.
When Stefan returned home, it was in the evening.
He noticed how empty everything looked inside their villa.
Normally at this time of day, Jimmy would be sitting on the couch watching TV, yet there was nosign of him today.
Stefan furrowed his brows slightly as he called out, "Jimmy?"
Silence answered him instead; not only was Jimmy gone tonight but even their servants had lefttoo!
As Stefan walked forward while frowning in confusion about what could have happened here today,he saw warm yellow candlelight flickering on the dining table.
Two candlesticks were placed on either side of the table with warm yellow flames!
Two steaks along with salads and some fruits were arranged neatly...
It wasn't until then when Martha appeared, holding a bowl full of soup from behind the kitchen door.
Wearing a big smile, she said, "You're back."
Stefan frowned slightly. Thinking of Eden's words, he relaxed his brows.
He gently responded, looking at the woman and asking, "Where is Jimmy?"
Martha curled her lips into a wide smile and her gentle voice said, "Jimmy said he wanted to spendtime with his grandpa, so I sent him to Father. Tonight, just two of us."
She specifically sent Jimmy to Maxwell's place, so they could have some alone time together.
Since coming from Z Country, Stefan hadn't said anything suspicious about her identity and hadeven shown some interest in her.
But there hadn't been any progress between them until today.
She did all this today just to bring them closer together.
After hearing Martha's response, Stefan was stunned but didn't think too much of it.
After all, Jimmy had been taken care of by Maxwell and Bianca while they were away from CCountry.
Martha smiled as she placed the soup in the middle of the table and tucked her hair behind herears.
"Sit down and let's eat."
Stefan pursed his lips and pulled out a chair at the dining table. "You sit too."
"Okay." Martha replied with a smile before reaching for the red wine that was prepared and pouringit into Stefan's glass.
She then sat across from Stefan after pouring wine into her glass too.
The dark red color of wine in their glasses looked eerie under warm yellow light...
