CROMULENTS

Chapter 22. Shrimp Soup

There is no right to forbid, but Sarah is actually jealous. It's the first time Edward has said he wants to go to a nightclub with a completely unfriendly face.

"Edward, are you mad at me?"

"No, Sarah. I just want to calm myself down. Anyway, our business is about to be done. Don't you worry."

"Edward, but I don't like it when you get drunk."

Not because she didn't like it, but Sarah's never been in a place like that. His experience when married to Daniel first, the man came home drunk. There was red lipstick on her collar. Of course it's not a coincidence. After that, the news of her husband's affair spread to the surface.

Simultaneously, the dismissal of his personal secretary was unilateral. Catherine really had no idea that it turned out to be Daniel's trick to cover up their scandal from everyone, including his wife.

"Go if you want to. I want to rest!"

Sarah no longer saw Edward's face. He immediately left the pool, took the bathrobe, went into the bathroom and cleaned himself.

It's hard to get a rejection like that. He was jealous, but Edward didn't care. Sarah went into the bathroom, not to relax her mind. He turned on the shower and sat there for a long time. Her tears are spilling.

A flash of pain in the past seemed to overshadow it. How Daniel came home drunk, but the shadow was not Daniel, but Edward.

His heart was not ready if it had to accept such a bitter reality. All this time he's been hanging on to Edward. His whole life and promise of love.

Edward regretted it, but he could not just leave his colleagues behind. He went back to the room and changed his clothes. She left without saying goodbye again with Sarah.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. I'm gonna stay away for a few days. I also have to prepare a surprise for Daniel later. Rest up!" edward said, but he was only at Sarah's doorstep.

Due to being too long under the shower, Sarah felt a difference in her. Because of Edward, he was willing to hurt himself. Now that he was shivering, even the blanket used at the moment was unable to temper his body.

Sarah curled up in the blanket, ate nothing, and closed her eyes. His mouth kept hissing. This time he was alone without Edward.

Edward came home late. He stopped by the dinner table for a bit to see what food might be left there. The two prepared dishes were not touched at all. Yeah, Edward forgot to say he wouldn't eat at the mansion. However, seeing the plate next to him still untouched made him suspicious.

He called one of the maids whom he happened to meet in the kitchen. The maid was surprised and lowered his head to pay his respects.

"Good night, Mister!"

"Sarah didn't eat?"

"One of the maids has knocked on his room repeatedly, no response, sir. We thought that Miss Sarah was coming with you."

Panicked. That one word represents the entire answer of the maid. Regardless of the maid again, Edward immediately ran up several steps that numbered more than twenties.

Without knocking on the door, Edward turned his handle and went in. The bright lights of the room clearly showed Sarah curled up in the blanket with her face.

"Gram!" Edward screeched.

He immediately approached and held Sarah's forehead. Just to check the condition of his body that turned out to be shivering it.

"Sarah, you're cold, honey. How did this happen? Please don't scare me!"

Edward ran to the bathroom. He had to get Sarah's body warm again. The hot water tap that filled the bath was almost half that. Before it was fully filled, Edward returned to the room to pick Sarah up and was taken to the bathroom.

Edward went first to the bathub with a position carrying Sarah. Although it was a bit difficult, but he still tried it. After the two are in the bathtub, Edward drops Sarah off. Then, he turned Sarah's position to back her. After that, Edward slowly brought Sarah to soak in the warm water.

"I'm good."

"Don't lie! You're not as ordinary as this. I think there's something you're hiding from me. Just tell! Oh, or once your condition improves, I'll have a maid deliver food to your room. How's it?"

"I'm not hungry!" push Sarah slowly.

She also argued with Sarah. Edward let the mood calm down. Once Sarah's body is warm again, she'll take her woman to the locker room.

"I think you've improved. I'm gonna take you out now."

"May I ask you?"

"Tell me!"

"Why are you avoiding me? Don't you want me?" Sarah felt Edward's rejection this afternoon made her think of something she shouldn't have.

"It doesn't want you, Sarah. I loved you all this time. I just don't want to do it before we get married. Enough with this situation I'm happy .. I mean, not happy because you're sick. However, I'm happy to always be around you."

"really? So, who have you been with for the last 10 years?"

Edward felt that Sarah was getting jealous. He just went to the nightclub to see some colleagues. He was also not drunk because he promised himself for Catherine's sake.

"Self, before you finally come back. Never mind, don't think no. Maybe you're still traumatized by Daniel's behavior, but I'm not that kind of man."

Sarah pulls Edward in one hand. He held it with both hands. His condition has improved.

"Thank you, Edward. I'll change my clothes."

"Yes. I'll prepare dinner for you."

After Sarah left, Edward followed her. But not to the dressing room. He went to the bathroom next door to flutter his body. He took off all his clothes and took the bathrobe hanging there.

He hurried to the room to change his clothes. He went down to the kitchen to make a bowl of soup and hot chocolate milk.

"It feels kind of weird 'cause I almost never get in the kitchen!" grouse Edward. It was not that he was lazy to serve Sarah, but that his lack of effort was shameful.

"Let me, brother. What are you doing?" sarah asked who appeared behind her.

"Sup .. ah, forget it! You better eat the others. This is a failed meal."

"Shrimp soup? Wow, this is awesome! I'll try." Sarah tasted the soup first. Feeling something lacking, he added a little spice so it tasted good and fit. "Wouldn't you?"

"Take a little for me!"

Sarah prepared the soup in a small bowl and then took a glass of hot chocolate milk that had been prepared beforehand.

"I'll drink first." Sarah held up the not-so-hot chocolate milk.

"Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. Oh, yeah, how's Daniel?" ask Edward.
