After a long day, Rick finally was able to lie down on his bed, with his eyes on the ceiling. "Madam Brown was right. It indeed spared me a lot of hours to have all to myself." Rick was surprised how he was able to finish his everyday tasks and studies and went to bed before the clock hit the midnight hour. It was indeed something he experienced after who knows how long. Usually, he would be just starting his studies by this hour, instead of finishing them. Guess he can finally stop worrying about the kids, and start spending more time with himself. If that woman proves herself to be effective and useful, that is.
