Chương 796: The new man of the house

Laura could hardly sleep last night, staring at the vacant bed beside her. It felt strange to close her eyes, knowing she was alone in this big, spacious room. It felt so empty without him.

It was not that she had never slept on this bed on her own. Ethan did have to work overtime countless times during their married life, so she sometimes lay alone on this bed. The only difference from that time to this. 

Before, when she woke up the following morning, her eyes would land on his sleeping form next to her. Now, she would open her eyes to silence and his absence.

"I am happy to see that you are looking much better." Ben, her brother, held her hand in his as he sat next to her at the table.

She smiled at him, glad he and his family could join them on such short notice. She had missed him dearly since he resided now at a different location, farther than she wanted.
