Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Like husband and wife for decades

However, that night, RK didn’t go home. She waited for him the whole night, and in the end, all the food was cold. She woke up several times in front of the dining table. Finally, she went upstairs with disappointment.

She remembered that she told the servant to throw out the food at that time. When she got up in the morning, she saw that the food had been eaten. The servant said that the master come back at night, but he didn’t have the heart to disturb her when she fell asleep. The master also said that he liked her gift very much.

She looked down and saw that the small flower plant prepared for him on the dining table was indeed gone.

To be honest, she was very disappointed. She didn’t want that. She wanted to hand the little flower to RK in person, but he didn’t come home.

That incident left a deep impression on RK’s mind.

At that time, he did stay at the company to work overtime, and Sophia’s treatment had reached a critical moment. He didn’t want to celebrate his birthday, and he didn’t expect that Stella would wait for him at home for the whole night. It was very late at that time, and for some reason, he just wanted to go home and have a look.

He told himself that he was just going home to get some clothes.

To be honest, he had countless clothes, and there was a wardrobe full of suits in the lounge of the company.

When he went home, the house was still brightly lit. The servants were cleaning the table. They saw RK coming back, it was evident that they were excited.

That was a different feeling than usual. RK felt very strange. Why were all the servants so happy to see him that day?

"Sir, you are back. Mrs. RK has been waiting for you all night."

"Hmmm?" RK had to admit that he was indeed a little surprised at that time.

"Mrs. RK had cooked a table of dishes for you and this is also for you." A servant handed a small box to RK. "It’s just that you didn’t come back yet and Mrs. RK waited for you for too long. She thought you won’t come back, so she went upstairs to rest."

"Oh, that’s it." RK took the box. To his surprise, he felt as if his heart was in his throat.

When RK went upstairs to the bedroom, he found that the lights in the bedroom were on, and the door was not closed. He pushed the door open and went in, only to see Stella lying on the bed, her slippers still hanging on her feet.

He walked over, took off her slippers, and then lifted the quilt. He carried Stella to the center of the bed, moved her into a comfortable sleeping position, and then covered her with the quilt. After standing for a while, he turned off the lights and left the room.

She didn’t sleep well the whole night, and there were dark shadows beneath her eyes. He didn’t know that she had prepared everything for him at home, nor did he know that she had bought him a gift. Since he was a child, he had never celebrated his birthday. His mother died early, and few people had taken care of him since he was a child. There were very few people who even remembered his birthday. Even Sophia only knew that he never celebrated his birthday, but not when it was. He didn’t expect that Stella would notice and remember it.

For the first time in his life, RK felt that he was cherished.

It felt very good.

The next night, he went home and chatted with her during dinner. He asked her why she had bought him that little plant. To be honest, he knew that she never bought things because she didn’t want to spend his money. This time, on his birthday, she still didn’t touch the card he gave her. He knew that she had bought the gift with her small savings, her only capital. It was not easy for her to buy him a little plant. Although it was not expensive, he cherished it very much.

She explained to him, "Don’t look down on it. It’s not just a little plant. Take good care of it in the future, and it will bloom into a beautiful flower!"

To be honest, it was just an excuse to hide her embarrassment, but he remembered it in his heart.

That was his favorite gift he had received since he was born, as well as only the thing he had kept with him since he was born.

Unfortunately, he had looked at the little plant for six years, but it had not changed at all. It did not turn into a beautiful flower, nor did it show any signs of blooming. Every time he looked at it, he always felt that it was like six years ago when she was still waiting for him at home. As long as he went home, there would be lights, food, and a warm welcome from her.

He remembered that night and smiled happily at her.

"Stella, do you remember? Back then, I even thanked you. You were dumbfounded then." As RK thought about it, he couldn’t help but start talking to Stella. "I am telling you, that’s the first time I have received a gift from someone else. No one has ever given me a gift since I was a child. They only cared about my grades and performance in the company. The first time I received a gift like chocolate as a confession gift was when you gave it to me. I felt so flattered at that time."

RK chatted with a smile while combing Stella’s hair as if she was his wife whom he had lived with for decades.
