Waiting For a Girl Like You

"Rhys, you're finally back. How was it? Is your friend alright?"

Eunice asked with a concerned expression on her face as soon as she saw Rhys enter the house.

At that moment, the way Eunice was acting left Rhys at such a loss.

The first thing he thought Eunice would do was to ask where he had been, so he was a bit taken aback when she greeted him in such an innocent and gentle tone.

"Rhys? Why aren't you answering me? Did your friend get seriously ill? Was it that bad? Do you want me to go with you to visit your friend tomorrow?" Eunice went on and added.

Then, she walked over toward Rhys and helped him take his coat off and hung it on the coat hanger.

"No, that won't be necessary. Everything's fine. My friend is alright now. Have you been up all night waiting for me?" Rhys said, feeling a bit guilty deep inside.

Shaking her head, Eunice answered, "You went out at two o'clock in the wee hours of the morning without telling me where you're going or even leaving a note. I was worried about you and couldn't go back to sleep, so I just went downstairs to wait for you in the living room."

"Well, Eunice... I'm sorry for making you worry. Thank you," Rhys said.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that your friend is doing fine. But, since it's still quite early, why don't you go back to bed to get some sleep?" Eunice suggested.

When he heard those words coming from her, Rhys was left dumbfounded once again. Truth be told, this woman standing in front of him felt so unfamiliar to him. She was being unusually gentle and caring.

That being said, he decided not to say anything else and simply replied, "Okay, then I'll go upstairs and have a rest."

After telling her that, he headed straight toward the bedroom with a hint of doubt in his heart.

When Rhys

nd effort in building this castle, but it was destroyed by Sally in just an instant. And yet she had the audacity to say, "Your castle is too flimsy. It collapsed before I could even walk on it!"

When Carla, who was sitting on the beach chair, noticed that Sally was being mean to Cody again, she immediately sprung up from her seat and wanted to give her daughter a talking-to.

However, before she could even open her mouth, Violet said something first, "Cody, did you hear what she just said? That means your castle is useless, so you should make sure that you're going to build a really large and super luxurious castle for your future wife. Do you understand?"

Taking off her sunglasses, Violet shot Cody a glance.

Raising his head to look back at his mother and then at Sally, Cody had no idea how he was supposed to respond to his mother's words.

Actually, despite being only four years of age, Cody more or less knew already what the word, wife meant as Violet had mentioned it a lot to him before.

That being said, Sally was as clueless as a fish out of water, listening to what Violet just said.

"Mother, what does 'wife' mean?" asked Sally, feeling a bit intrigued.
