Chapter 24: Should I Sneak in Some Popcorn?
On Tuesday, Lariette went to the hospital, accompanied by Madeline. She attended the checkup her doctor strongly advised her to.
Fortunately, Lariette's body didn't show any signs of danger after getting into the accident more than a week ago. Still, she had another appointment next week.
On Wednesday, a team of movers appeared at Lariette's apartment in Lumina Spring with Ruediger's belongings. He couldn't come along, saying he was preoccupied with work.
Madeline was there to oversee the movers as Ruediger told Lariette before. They let the movers put the boxes in Ruediger's future room and home office.
"Should we arrange his clothes at least?" asked Lariette after the movers left the apartment. She was dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt and three-quarter-length loose pants.
"Let's do that," Madeline nodded, swiftly agreeing with Lariette, "Rudy told me not to do anything. Well, I know he just doesn't want to burden us. Let's do what we can."
"Okay."
Following Madeline's lead, Lariette unpacked the boxes where Ruediger's clothes were kept. All of his outfits were simple and came from affordable brands, unlike the luxurious ones Lariette always saw her brothers and Damien wear.
"I hope he won't feel awkward staying here," Lariette chuckled as he hung the clothes inside the closet, "I got this new wardrobe just for him. Lest he has to use the pink one."
"You should just let him use the cute wardrobe," Madeline snickered, her eyes glinting with mischief, "He needs to get used to this pink world of your home."
From a very young age, Lariette envisioned having a house decorated with colors and cute items. She lived in a small and old home with Mrs. Evans, causing her to bury her dream.
