Zhao Li Xin and Lory arrived at the villa in quiet succession, the world beyond its walls falling away the moment the gates closed behind them. The calm embraced them immediately.
Without wasting more time, she immediately heated the leftover food. After barely touching food at the Worthington housewarming party, she indulged in a hefty meal, savoring the luxury of eating without interruption. After she was done, she disappeared into the bathroom and surrendered herself to a long, relaxed bath, she soak in the tub, letting the heat loosen the tension coiled beneath her skin.
On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin spends his time in a much simpler way. He took a short shower, changed his clothes, and then retreated into silence. Hours passed as he meditated, unmoving, his presence steady and contained.
Both of them had their own way to recollect themselves.
