Chapter 66 - The Little Angel

Angeline smiled broadly as she tasted the result of her cooking, the egg-fried rice she had just finished making after nearly six consecutive failures.

Yep. Angeline was currently dealing with the greatest enemy in her life, one that she had to beat no matter what; cook.

She looked up at the clock and it was already eleven o'clock, almost midnight. She didn't know when David would come home because usually David came home after she fell asleep and was gone by the time he woke up in the morning with the breakfast he had prepared on the table for Angeline.

Angeline finished washing the used kitchen utensils she used to make her first successful fried rice and walked to the bedroom to get her cellphone.

Angeline opened the phone icon and pressed the number one, holding it for a while until her cell phone automatically dials David's number.

"Hello?" asked David from across the line, making Angeline smile sheepishly. A reddish tinge now printed clearly on the girl's cheek. "You rarely call this late, are you still not sleeping?"

"Um ... What time are you going home?"

"Did something happen?" asked David back. David was always worried if Angeline did something out of the ordinary. For example, like this time, Angeline contacted him at bedtime.

"Nothing happened. I was just wondering what time you will be back." Angeline bit her lower lip, she was still trying to suppress her smile.

The thought of David going to smile after trying the first dish she thought was successful continued to float in her mind. Angeline really couldn't wait for that to happen. The thought of David going to smile after trying the first dish she thought was successful continued to float in her mind. Angeline really couldn't wait for that to happen.

"I'm out of town right now, maybe tonight I won't be able to go home, maybe for two days. If there is anything urgent, I'll be right there now."

The reddish tinge disappeared from her cheeks, now the girl gave a sad look that was very painful for anyone who saw. "Nothing, I just wanted to ask."

"Angel." called David who made Angeline who just wanted to disconnect their phone, not doing it. "You know, that you are never good at lying. And you also know, that I am the most difficult person for anyone to lie to. I could have asked you to tell me what you are hiding from me right now, but I did not do it. Not because I do not care, but I'm sure if the time is right you will tell me. I just wanted to remind you, that you mean everything to me. Whatever you hide, if it burdens you, I will not be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. "

Even though this is only fried rice, sometimes David really likes to go overboard in responding to everything, especially when it concerns Angeline. But somehow, Angeline never objected to the nature of David who loved her too much. It can even make her return to life after feeling disappointed.

David is a sadistic, yet the most romantic person in Angeline's life.

The way he loved Angeline was terrifying.

"Mmm ... I have something to discuss with you."

"Say it."

"Forget it." said Angeline quietly with a smile. Even though Angeline knew that David couldn't see her smile, her feelings would certainly be conveyed. Angeline was sure of that, because David really loved her very sincerely. "I'll tell you later when you come back.

David was silent for a moment, causing Angeline to bite her lower lip again. "Fine, if that's what you want. Don't sleep too late."

Just as Angeline wanted to hang up with David, David said one thing that made Angeline's heart warm.

"I love you. And also 'The Little Angel'."

Angeline rubbed her own stomach which had begun to grow with her free hand, while one hand held the cellphone that was to her ear.

"I love you too. Likewise 'The Little Angel', he must also love you very much."

In the end, Angeline cut her connection with David and walked back into the kitchen room. She took the results of her successful cooking and put them on the dining table.

Angeline looked down at her stomach and smiled. "Hey, Little Angel, looks like tonight we have to finish this fried rice alone."

Angeline started to put mouthful after mouthful of fried rice from the plate in front of her with a spoon. She remembered again about the offer given by Catty.

Angeline is pregnant, so she wouldn't be able to do much if Catty had actually started her war with David. She was really afraid that David would bother protecting her later.

Angeline still felt that she would only be a burden to David, even though the truth was the opposite. David is nothing without Angeline.

But the time given by Catty is still three days away. By then David would have been home.

Perhaps Angeline would consider telling David about what Catty had to offer. Or maybe not. It had occurred to her that once in a while she had to make up her own mind, she shouldn't depend forever on David. The burden that David had on his shoulders alone was heavy enough, she didn't want to add to the burden that David had carried himself. At least, as a wife, she must not continue to trouble her husband.

After all, David is also a human. No matter how strong he is, no matter how good he is on the battlefield, no matter how high the achievements he has achieved in the Underworld as a mafia, David is still an ordinary human who can feel tired, both physically and mentally.

Angeline had seen David go out of control because of the weight of the mind he had been carrying alone for the past few years, which was eroding him little by little. The thought of Angeline only adding to David's burdens really made her feel even worse.

Should she accept Catty's offer?

Everything will be decided when the time comes.

***

The window blinds that suddenly opened woke Angeline from her sleep. The girl tried to block out the sunlight shining directly on her face with her hand.

Who opened the blinds to wake her up?

Has David come home?

But Angeline remembered that David said he wouldn't be able to come back today. And also, David never woke her up like this. David was always gentle and affectionate with her, there was no way David would wake her up by letting the sun shine her face directly like this.

"Get up quickly, lazy buffalo. A woman must not wake up late."

This voice, the one that made Angeline let out a heavy, lazy breath. Angeline turned her back on the source of the sound and pulled the blanket up over her head.

"Have you dared to ignore me?" asked the person who woke her, who immediately jumped on top of Angeline's body on the bed and tickled Angeline's body, who was hiding under a blanket.

Angeline struggled, while the person who was tickling her continued laughing triumphantly.

Angeline removed the blanket from her face and shouted. "Elly, I said stop!"

They also looked at each other. The strap of Angeline's white tank-top was already down to her elbows, and the pregnant girl's two beautiful mountains were almost visible.

"Hey, come on, wake up. David told me to accompany you until he comes back. I've been waiting for you to wake up for almost two hours, you really are like a lazy buffalo. Are you doing a death simulation? If you always sleep like that, your fortune will be pecked out by a chicken. "

"Why should my fortune be pecked by a chicken?"

"Because a chicken will wake up earlier than you, you know?"

Angeline still doesn't understand what that means, even though it is just a proverb used by ancient parents to admonish their children who always wake up late.

Angeline pulled her tank-top strap back over her shoulder, "I was only late sleeping last night. Maybe David told you to come with me because I called him last night."

"What did you say to him that worries him to the point of telling me to accompany you on my beautiful holiday like this?"

"Nothing."

They fell silent. Elly had just realized that Angeline's signature waking face looked very seductive. Maybe Angeline can really turn all girls into a lesbian with this barely-waking-up face.

Angeline also frowned, "Until when do you want to sit on top of me?"

Elly seemed to have just woken up from her reverie and moved to the side, making Angeline rise from her sleeping position. "Hey, tonight's going to be a very exciting MMA fight. Floyd Mayweather is going to take on world champion Connor McGregor, and they'll be competing in the arena right here in town because the biggest sponsor of the game is your husband's company. Let's watch."

"Mmm ... alright. But the match is still tonight, let me rest a little longer."

Just as Angeline wanted to go back to sleep, Elly grabbed her hand. Elly also dragged Angeline's hand to the front of the bathroom door. "Get ready, I'm going to take you on a walk to kill time until tonight. Since David has told me to accompany you, we're going to have fun until the end!"

"Where are you planning to kidnap me?"

"We're going to do what all the women in the world like most"

"And what is that?"

Elly took out a card that she took from Angeline's wallet while the girl was still asleep. A company card with no nominal limit that David gave specifically to Angeline. So far, Angeline had never used the money on the card at all, because the girl thought she had everything she needed from David, so there was no reason to waste any more of David's money.

Elly smiled broadly as she raised her eyebrows, "Shopping."

Angeline was about to refuse but Elly had pushed her into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door from the outside. Angeline also has no other choice, she will only obey Elly's wishes.

Maybe it's okay if they have a little fun.

Even though they didn't know that, while they were planning to have fun, David was facing a life and death situation in a different city from where they were.
