Chapter 347: That Bastard!
Ruediger shooed Lariette to take a bath after dinner, saying he could handle the dishes himself. She chuckled before telling him how much she had been pampered by him so far.
"My dear Lettie, this is just a fraction," declared Ruediger, a smirk hanging on his lips, "Now, now, go and have your bath."
Amused, Lariette laughed before leaving the dining room. Her tummy didn’t feel heavy because she had soup for dinner, simple but nutritious.
The chicken and barley vegetable soup Ruediger made was what Lariette needed after a long and busy day. She always craved something delicious but easy on the stomach.
While filling the tub, Lariette relaxed for a moment in the bedroom before returning to the washroom. Hot steam curled softly in the air, then the comforting scent of lavender rose as she poured some oil into the tub.
After showering briefly, Lariette sank slowly into the tub, its heat loosening the tightness in her shoulders. The warmth also eased the chill that clung to her from the long day.
’I wanna catch up on the new series. But I’m actually sleepy.’
Exhaling a sigh, Lariette rested her head against the tub’s edge, eyes half-closed. Wrapped in the quiet moment alone, her mind drew her to think about the man outside.
Reliable, affectionate and strong. The longer they were together, the more his presence was cemented in her heart and mind.
To say she was lucky to meet him was an understatement, that was what she believed.
With a tiny smile on her lips, Lariette emerged from the washroom half an hour later. She changed into a light yellow oversized sweater and a pair of fleece long pants before leaving the bedroom.
