Chapter 147. Tangled Return

Ellie's POV

"Welcome back!" Damian says as we saunter into my house.

I heaved out a deep sigh, in and out. I can’t say I messed up my house or that I missed being home because what I had was so terrific, but I don’t want to be back either since we had no choice. "Mmh! Thank you, and welcome back too," I taunt back as we stroll inside my condo.

He shuts the door after resting the two heavy satchels inside. "Do you want to have a few minutes of rest before going to work? I know you aren't used to those long, tiresome drives." Damian mumbles as he hauls our suitcases further inside.

A rest? I wouldn’t mind, but he made me have enough rest during the vacation. Now, we are needed in the office. "Thank you for being such a sweet, caring daddy, but no. We have been away for a week so there is no way I would get even a wink of sleep given that we are back and needed. Work is calling, and I am good," I retort with my most convincing expression.
