The next day, Ruby got ready after taking a long, refreshing bath. She even washed her hair, feeling rejuvenated as the warm water relaxed her. Humming a soft tune, she walked toward the dining table and was pleased to see breakfast already prepared.
She sat down, and everyone ate in silence, the quiet comfort of the morning settling around them. After finishing her meal, Ruby stood up, feeling content. She walked to her room, grabbed her purse and big bag, and headed toward the living room.
"Wife, are you going somewhere?" Julian asked, his voice calm but tinged with curiosity as he watched her.
"I need to buy something and take care of some work at the government office," Ruby replied.
Milo's face fell slightly at the thought of her leaving, his expression turning a little sad.
"Goodbye, wife. Come back soon," he said, his voice soft with longing.
Ruby smiled warmly at them, giving a gentle wave. "I will. Take care."
