"Mom?"
"...Yes~"
"Oh! You are home already?!"
"Yes…"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to surprise you~"
"What's… wrong with your voice? What are you doing?"
"I am… exercising…"
"Huh?"
"You see…" Eleanor took a deep breath and moved her hips back and forth as she said, "I have been… so busy for the past few days that I couldn't make time for my daily exercise. So I thought—Mnh~
I thought I should exercise and take a bath before going to bed. Did you…mnh~ Have you eaten yet?"
"Oh, yes. The restaurant I wanted to go to didn't have an empty table, so I got some from the take-in instead. I can wait for you in the living room if you want to eat," Eric said sincerely.
"Nhm~ No~ I don't think so. I am already filled up."
"Uhh… okay… then? How long will it take you…?'
"Mnh~ I don't know. It depends on when the current round ends and what type of bath I take~" She said while looking into Rudy's eyes.
