His Personal Fucktoy? This Doll Just Snatched His Strings... And His World Is Unraveling novel Chapter 35

Chapter 4

The moment I stepped into the bathroom, the smile on my face vanished.

As I turned on the shower, I continuously splashed water on my cheeks.

I opened my phone to check the surveillance footage.

At 10 a.m. today, I had installed a pinhole camera at the door.

At 12 p.m., Austin appeared on the camera right on schedule.

Stella’s door opened, and he looked around as if checking something.

Then the woman affectionately looped her arm around his neck.

The two of them kissed, unable to pull away from each other.

I tightened my fists.

So, every day during the two–hour lunch break,

Even though it took an hour and a half for him to come and go,

He would still find fifteen minutes to be with Stella.

That day when he brought me the mille–feuille cake was just a side task.

Exhausted, I drifted off to sleep, burning with fever.

“Honey, honey, wake up.”

Austin’s gentle voice whispered in my ear as he reached out to touch

my

forehead.

He fed me fever medicine and wiped my body with a cool towel to bring my temperati

down.

Half–asleep, I heard him ask, “Honey, are you feeling better?”

Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, my heart was filled with mixed emotions.

I turned my head away and muttered, “Mm.”

“Aren’t you going to work today?”

He affectionately rubbed my nose, “Silly, my wife is sick. How could I go to work? I took the day off to stay home and take care of you.”

The phone rang several times.

Austin didn’t even glance at it, just picked it up and hung up immediately.

“Someone’s calling you. Aren’t you going to answer it?”

“My wife is the most important. Everything else can wait.”

Austin brought me a steaming bowl of rice porridge, blowing on it carefully to cool it down before bringing it to my lips. “Here, honey, drink this to warm your stomach, then you can sleep some more.”

I barely had a few sips.

Austin’s phone lit up again.

This time, he only glanced at the screen, his face apologetic as he stood up. “Honey, there’s an urgent situation at the company. I need to go check it out…”

“Okay.”

I replied calmly.

Austin tucked me in, then before leaving, poured me a cup of hot milk, repeatedly

reminding me to drink it when I woke up.

Half an hour later, Stella updated her Instagram.
