    Chapter 1588


    Marcus was at a loss for words.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He hadn’t been seduced away. He simply couldn’t recall his past, so he couldn’t remember her.


    Ellinor was really about to leave. As her hand rested on the doorknob again, a suddenmotion


    outside halted her.


    Sophia entered the room.


    “Tristan, why are you standing at the bathroom door? Where’s dad?”


    Adrian’s voice sounded a bit unnatural. “Dad… he’s taking a shower!”


    Sophia chastised the child. “Why are you standing here while your dad’s in the shower? Why aren’t you


    helping him? You know he has a hard time moving around.”


    Adrian blinked. “Dad said he didn’t need help and told me to stay out here. I’m staying close in case he


    needs me for something.”


    Sophia found this odd but chose not to press further. She walked over to the bathroom door and


    knocked gently. “Marcus, are you in the shower?”


    Inside the bathroom, Ellinor had silently slipped behind the door. If Sophia were to suddenly walk in,


    she wouldn’t immediately see her.


    The bathroom door wasn’t locked. If they were to lock it now, it would arouse Sophia’s suspicions. They


    could only hope Sophia wouldn’t open the door.


    There were no windows in the bathroom, leaving Ellinor without an escape route.


    Marcus and Ellinor exchanged nces, responding to Sophia’s question with unnerving calmness.


    “Yes, what’s up?”


    Sophia stood outside the door. “Nothing important. I bought you a new pair of pajamas a few days ago


    and forgot to give them to you. I just found them in the closet, so wear them after your shower today.”


    “Thanks. Just leave them on the bed. I’ll put them on after I finish my shower.”


    Sophia reached for the doorknob. “Marcus, let me bring them in. You can put them on as soon as you


    finish your shower.”


    Marcus immediately replied in a stern voice. “I’m in the shower. Don’te in!”


    Sophia’s hand on the doorknob paused. “Marcus, we’re husband and wife. I’m just bringing you your


    clothes.”


    Marcus interrupted her. “I want some peace while I’m in the shower. Do you really have to disturb me at


    this moment?”


    Sephia felt a bit upset. She was just bringing him some clothes. Was that considered a disturbance?


    But she didn’t take any further action.


    Adrian folded his arms as he addressed Sophia. “Dad said not toe in, so don’t disturb his shower.


    You’ll just upset him.”


    Sophia looked down at the child she found annoying, remembering how Marcus had scolded him


    earlier. She thought it best not to upset Marcus and jeopardize the progress they had recently made.


    So she took her hand off the doorknob. “Alright then, Marcus. I’ll leave your new pajamas on your bed.


    Remember to put them on after your shower.”


    “Okay.”


    Sophia turned to ce the pajamas on the bed, ncing back at the bathroom door onest time


    before leaving.


    Once Sophia had left, Adrian let out a sigh of relief. That was too close!


    Mommy was almost discovered.


    Inside the bathroom, Ellinor and Marcus also breathed sighs of relief. They had narrowly avoided


    disaster.


    Ellinor shot Marcus a look. “She’s quite good to you. She even buys you clothes.”


    Marcus gazed back at her. “If you don’t like it, I won’t wear it.”


    Ellinor didn’t like it, but she wasn’t so willful as to ignore the situation. “Never mind, just wear it! If you


    don’t, it might arouse her suspicions. I’m leaving now.”
