"I am not doing this for any reward but if you feel bad about me taking care of you. You can become my hidden lover in our next life. I promise to take care of you. I won't let my husband bully you," Stephanie forced herself to cracked a joke just so she could make Vincent smile.
"Seeing how you could still joke around when I am this serious, I guess I was worried for nothing," Vincent said as he let go of her hand.
"Save your breath for later. I will be back with the porridge soon. You can take a quick nap," Stephanie said before she climbed down from the bed.
At the doorpost, she turned and take a last glance at Vincent before she left the room.
