I just got home , washed my face in the bathroom . Why are you asking this ? Did something happen at home ? Seeing my calm expression , Adam let out a sigh of relief and pulled me to sit beside him on the couch . Next time , just tell me when youre going out . Ill worry if you dont . Are you hungry ? What would you like to eat ? Ill have the housekeeper make it . In a week , well be engaged , Chill . Ive been waiting for this day .
