Loneliness

After dinner ended, Neil informed Edith that he had an important conference before he went into his study to contact the Rainmaker, Charles Tang. He mentioned his conversation with Attorney General Leng and discussed what they were going to do for a long time.

Neil finally returned to the bedroom after the call ended. Edith was not in the room when he entered. Neil took his pajamas and went into the bathroom to wash up. This time, when he walked out, Edith was already under the duvet cover, with her phone in her hand.

"Are you done with your conference call?" Edith asked.

Neil halted for a second. He recovered quickly and nodded. "Hmm… It was over a while ago." He looked away and hid his face under the towel.

Upon noticing that Neil was drying his hair with a towel, Edith walked over, dragged him towards the sofa, and grabbed the towel from his hand. Then, she started to help him and dry his hair.
