Chapter 57


    The room seemed terrifyingly cold, with just one person missing. Izzy was shivering in her bed. No


    matter how long she stayed under the covers, she couldn''t seem to get warm. She was all curled


    up, tossing, and turning but couldn''t fall asleep. She felt a bit pissed off. She used to be alone all the


    time, right? How did she get so used to having someone else around in such a short time?


    Suddenly, she remembered the hot water bottles she bought with Ethan at the supermarket not so


    long ago. Izzy got out of bed to heat up two of them, one for her feet and one to hold in her arms.


    Now she felt much warmer and gradually began to fall asleep.


    The next day, when Izzy woke up, it was already nine o''clock. She was startled for a moment but


    soon realized it was Saturday. Since she spent the whole night curled up, she felt sore all over and


    didn’t want to get out of bed.


    Just then, Ethan''s call came in. She quickly answered, and her voice was tinged with an excitement


    she hadn''t noticed herself, "Ethan, are you in London?"


    A softugh came from the other end. Izzy blushed. She must have been too excited just now.


    "Izzy, you weren''t waiting for my call all night, were you?"


    His voice was teasing. Without thinking, Izzy knew he was making fun of her again. He always


    annoyed her like this.


    A popr term on the Inte came to her mind: flirting. Wasn''t that exactly what he was doing?


    She pouted, "You called this early to disturb my beauty sleep. If you don''t talk, I''ll hang up."


    Ethan had a good sense of when to go along with his beloved. His voice softened, "Izzy, I''m here."


    Izzy sat on the bed, the sunlight streaming in from the window casting a gentle light on her face.


    She pursed her lips, and her face was serene, "Good."


    "I''ll call the Meyer Mansion in a bit. If you''re bored, you can go to the Meyer Mansion. I''ve arranged


    for Dane to pick you up and drop you off for work. You can eat at the Meyer Mansion while I''m not


    home."


    Izzy pouted, somewhat unhappy. She was just a bit more of an eater than most women, why was he


    so concerned? "I''m not a pig, why are you always worried about what I eat?"


    Ethan couldn''t help butugh, "I''m not worried about anything else, just that you might go hungry."


    "Actually, I just want to tell you that I miss you a lot."


    Izzy''s fingers tightened unconsciously on the phone, a warm current seemed to flow into her heart


    and spread quickly throughout her body, "Okay, don''t worry about me not eating well. But you have


    a bad stomach, you should eat regrly and quit drinking."


    "Okay, Mrs. Meyer."


    They talked for a long time. Finally, Izzy remembered that it should be one or two in the morning in


    London and hung up the phone, telling Ethan to rest early.


    Izzy''s heart gradually settled down, and she turned over and went back to sleep in bed.


    ---


    London Airport.


    Lucas stared at Ethan in astonishment. Was this still Mr. Meyer? He couldn''t wait to make a call as


    soon as he got off the ne, cracking jokes and giving detailed instructions to his wife. He


    remembered clearly howpliant he was with his wife when he had a stomachache that day. He


    threw him another curveball.


    If he wasn''t his personal secretary and always by his side, he would suspect that the Mr. Meyer in


    front of him had been reced.


    It''s been a long time since he saw him being like this with a woman. He thought his heart had died


    after that incident. He didn''t expect to see him so happy now, which made him quite relieved.


    After hanging up the phone, Ethan returned to his usual self. Seeing his secretary staring at him


    nkly, he couldn''t help asking, "Why are you staring at me like that?"


    Lucas thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Meyer, you''ve changed a lot recently."

    Ethanughed, "People can''t live in the past forever." It took him several years to figure that out.


    "Does Miss Silvia know you''re in London? Are you going to visit her during your trip?" Lucas asked.


    Ethan frowned a bit, his voice was somewhat heavy, "Tell her if I can''t spare the time, I won''t go. I''ll


    visit her when I have time next time."


    Lucas nodded, "Okay, I will let her know. The hotel arrangements are all set. We can head there


    now."


    Izzy slept all morning at home and didn''t wake up until Dane came to pick her up, "Sorry for making


    you wait, Dane."


    Dane used to be Phillip Meyer''s bodyguard. After Phillip retired, he retired too. He was used to


    military life and couldn''t stand being idle. Now he serves as Phillip''s driver in the Meyer family.


    "No need to be sorry, Izzy."


    Dane gave her a kind smile, "Izzy, let''s go now. Phillip knew you wereing home this weekend


    and specially ordered the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. It should be about time for lunch."


    Izzy had thought she''d feel out of ce at the Meyer Mansion without Ethan there. But everyone at


    the Meyer Mansion treated her well, giving her a sense of warmth, like she wasing home. She


    spent her days happily helping Phillip trim the nts. It was just the nights that were hard Because


    She couldn''t help but remember all the times she spent with Ethan.


    She remembered a line she read in a book, "I didn''t know what it was to miss someone until now,


    and now I''m tormented by it."


    She used to be indifferent to this line, but now she could understand the poet''s feelings. When


    you''re into someone, they really do haunt you.
