Chapter 75. Strange Happenings

Olive heard the noise and she worriedly stepped out of the bed. What was happening there?

“Wayne?” she called weakly. She couldn't breathe properly.

“Wayne,” she called again and took slow steps forward. She kept walking slowly until she reached the door. She opened it and came face to face with Wayne.

“Hey,” she hailed and he smirked.

“Missed me already?” he asked with mischief laden in his voice. She rolled her eyes and looked out of the hallway.

“I thought I heard a noise,” she stated.

“I mistakenly broke a vase. That's all,” he shrugged and held her waist.

“It's cold out here in the hallway. Let's go back inside,” he said and helped her walk back into the room.

“I'm worried, Wayne,” Olive mumbled and hugged his arm as he walked with her to the bed.

“You don't have to be. Everything's under control,” he whispered and patted her hair gently with his palm. His thumb rubbed soothingly on her forehead and he bent down to kiss her there.<
