Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

âDrive carefully when you go back,â Cindy said. âYou look really tired.â
Adrian Zhekova: â
Noticing that Iâm tired, yet still asking me to leave?
Adrian Zhekova leaned against the wall: âYeah, Iâm so sleepy that I canât keep my eyes open. Iâm really afraid I might fall asleep while driving.â
Adrian Zhekova got closer to Cindyâs face: âLook into my eyes. Donât you see all those red blood vessels?â
âMy eyes are terribly dry,â Adrian Zhekova said. âYou donât know how worried Iâve been these past few days while I was away on a business trip, about you and Morgan being bullied here without anyone to back you up.â
Cindyâs heart was struck by his words.
âSo, I hurried to finish my work and rushed back overnight. Otherwise, I should have returned tomorrow,â Adrian Zhekova added.
Cindy was deeply moved by this: âYou should have just come back tomorrow.â Adrian Zhekova:
Adrian Zhekova thought, even without a daughter like Morgan, Cindy would still be single on her own merits.
âMy nerves were so tense while I was busy working, and now that Iâm relaxed, I feel totally drained,â Adrian Zhekova decided to ignore Cindyâs words. âHow about you let me crash here for the night?â
Cindy: â
âBy now, Sheldon should be home, so itâs not appropriate to call him back. The same goes for Cleave Roland. Besides, both of them are as tired as I am. It wouldnât be safe to ask any of them to drive. And calling people out in the middle of the night is just plain inappropriate.â
While saying this, Adrian Zhekovaâs eyes seemed heavy to the point they wouldnât open.
He frowned, massaged his temples, and forced his eyelids open.
It seemed every crease on his face was saying: âIâm so tired!â
However, the red blood vessels in Adrian Zhekovaâs eyes were not a lie; they were quite severe.
âEven if you stay, I donât have room in my house,â Cindy said, feeling it wasnât right to force him to sleep on the couch.
Unexpectedly, Adrian Zhekova volunteered, âI can sleep on the sofa. No problem.â
Realizing he answered too quickly, Adrian Zhekova leaned back against the wall and said wearily, âIâm just so tired. I can barely keep my eyes open. All I need is a place to rest.â
Seeing him like this, Cindy had no choice but to say, âAlright then, I guess youâll have to put up with sleeping on the sofa.â
âNo problem,â Adrian Zhekova said.
âIâll get you a blanket,â Cindy said.
Now that itâs so hot, they had the air-conditioning on, so it would be cold without a blanket.
Cindy went back to her bedroom, and Adrian Zhekova didnât follow her.
He couldnât be too eager, or else he might be kicked out of the house, making it difficult to have an excuse to stay over in the future.
In a short while, Cindy came out with a pillow and blanket: âThese are cleanâ theyâve been washed and not used.â
Adrian Zhekova wanted to say that even if she had used them, he wouldnât mind.
Cindy set the pillow and blanket on the couch.
Fortunately, the sofa was quite wide, almost as wide as a small single bed.
And the length was enough.
âIf you want to take a shower, feel free. Itâs no problem,â Cindy said. âBut we donât have any pajamas you can wear.â âI brought some,â Adrian Zhekova said.
âHuh?â Cindy looked at Adrian Zhekova in surprise. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He brought pajamas?
âI came straight here after getting off the plane, right? My luggage is still in the trunk, and there are clean pajamas in it,â Adrian Zhekova said. âIâll go get my suitcase..â
