Angeline had already left when Julian and the others stepped inside their house after exchanging a few polite words with Angeline's husbands.
Ruby glanced at them and noticed how happy they looked. Her gaze landed on Milo, and she asked with a small smile, "Did you enjoy yourself?"
Milo's face lit up at her words. For a moment, he couldn't believe his ears. His wife was asking him. Not ignoring him like she used to, not brushing him off like he was invisible—she was genuinely asking if he had fun. It made his heart swell with happiness.
He felt a surge of happiness. This house wasn't just a place to live—it had given him so much more. A room, friendly neighbors, and, most importantly, his wife's attention. For the first time in years, he felt like he truly belonged. He couldn't help but think that he'd love to spend the rest of his life here with everyone.
