Chapter 285: I am sorry
The night air was cool and quiet as the car slowly pulled into the driveway. A soft glow from the sitting room spilled through the curtains, casting long shadows across the windows.
The silver chandelier hanging along the walkway bathed the compound in a gentle light, giving it a calm, almost dreamlike charm.
Crickets chirped into the night, and moths danced around the lights, the compound resting in peace. At the doorstep, the engine went off, and as usual, Jessica stepped out and with the aid of the driver helped Davis into his wheelchair.
Jessica’s footsteps and the soft rolling of the wheelchair echoed gently along the stone path leading to the front door.
Inside, the lights were dimmed, welcoming them with a calm, peaceful ambiance.
Henry, the butler, stepped out quietly from the hallway and gave a slight bow. He had been waiting for the returning since they never mentioned travelling out of the country.
"Welcome back, Sir... Ma’am. Would you need anything for the night?" he asked, already aware of Davis’ habit of avoiding late meals.
Davis glanced at Jessica and sighed. "Babe, do you want anything?" His tone was gentle but uncertain. It was too late to eat, yet he didn’t want to refuse her, unsure if she’d had enough to eat at the Santiagos’.
He made a mental note to take notice of her eating schedule and see if it aligns with the directive of the doctor.
Jessica shook her head. "Just warm water, please."
Henry turned to head toward the kitchen when Davis’s voice stopped him.
