章 636: Too Normal

Darren didn't know what he was expecting when he entered the apartment but what he saw was definitely not in his plausible scenarios. He thought if something was wrong then Xiu would be blankly staring into space in the dark room and if everything was fine, then she'd be bouncing around as usual.

Today, the Xiu before him neither looked upset nor happy. She just seemed too calm as she worked around in the kitchen. Even when he stood there just looking at her, she didn't notice his presence. She was extremely focused. The trepidation in his heart didn't ease up instead it made him feel slightly queasy.
