The 99th Divorce

Chapter 2130: Hubby, I Just Had a Nightmare

Shen Luo’an was silent once again.

Shen Zhilie felt sympathetic towards him and patted him on the shoulder as he said, “Sister Manting said she would like to get discharged.”

“Alright.”

...

The entire journey back was quiet. Upon reaching home, Shen Manting went directly into Nanny’s room.

Nanny’s room was very small.

Over the last two years, it had become a storeroom.

At this point in time, it was filled with many things. The things she had used before, both old and the new were now gone.

Moreover, her cell phone had long been missing.

Shen Manting was silent for a very long time before sighing heavily.

Before the accident, she had slept in his room.

It didn’t seem to be much of a problem if she slept here again.

However, it seemed that a very, very long time had passed.

It was impossible for the room to piled up to such an extent within one day.

Just how long had she been unconscious for?

“Do you need this?” Shen Luo’an voice rang out, startling Shen Manting.

When she turned around, Shen Luo’an was holding a packet of sanitary napkins in his hand.

Shen Manting glanced at it before snatching it from him. “Of course I do,” she retorted coldly.

“Yeah. Why don’t you sleep in the bedroom?” Shen Luo’an said as he turned around. “There are too many things here. It’s going to take some time to tidy it up.”

Shen Manting remained silent with her back towards him.

Shen Luo’an sighed softly and said, “Come on. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

With that, the sound of Shen Luo’an’s footsteps disappeared in the distance.

Shen Manting turned around and saw his retreating figure.

The lights in the corridor illuminated his figure and elongated his shadow.

With a mixture of complicated emotions, Shen Manting clutched the packet in her hand and turned to head into the room.

She wasn’t going to subject herself to torment.

Shen Manting walked into the cloakroom and found many clothes that fit her well.

However, the style was a lot more girlish than what she was accustomed to.

The clothes came in plain pink, red, green, and blue — all of which were in pastel shades.

She found a set of pink bunny pyjamas and fell into a deep sleep after taking a shower.

–

Shen Luo’an sat in the living room smoking.

He had been expecting this turn of events for some time now. Hence, when they came, apart from feeling heavy-hearted, he didn’t seem to have any other reactions.

She was still the same.

Same as two years ago.

Two years ago, she hadn’t left. Two years later, would her decision remain the same?

There was nothing he could do, whatever the decision she made.

It would work out pretty well.

As long as she was still around, and stayed...

That was what he told himself. However, as the smoke floated up, they reached his eyes and stung it painfully.

With a low chuckle, he put out his cigarette.

However, he was still feeling suffocated.

He lay down and covered himself with a thin blanket.

When he closed his eyes, he remained clear-minded and conscious.

After some time, he suddenly heard the sound of someone crying.

It was definitely a woman.

Shen Luo’an immediately opened his eyes but before he could react, he heard the door open, and the sound of crying intensified.

He sat up and looked over. It was Shen Manting.

Shen Manting looked at him and sniffled hard. While throwing herself at him, she called out, “Hubby!”

Shen Luo’an was shocked but before he could react, he felt her soft body wrap around his.

Shen Manting began wailing. She clung to his neck tightly and sobbed, “Hubby, I just I had a nightmare. It was so scary...”

Shen Luo’an was at a loss and did not know how to react. Instinctively, he raised his arms to hug her back but immediately hesitated the next moment, and his hand was left dangling in the air.

The commotion awakened the others too.

Shen Zhilie emerged from his bedroom and switched on the lights in the living room to see what was happening.

Shen Luo’an looked over with his eyes squinted.

Evidently, Shen Zhilie had not expected Shen Manting to act in such a manner and was visibly shocked.
