Roderick moved his Adam’s apple and reached out to tidy up her messy hair, but she turned her head away.
His hand hung in the air for a while before he finally pulled it back, clenched into a fist and then released.
“I have too many projects recently, I’m afraid you’ll be bored at home alone.”
His voice was very soft, with a hint of caution.
“It’s just a suggestion.”
“I’m not bored at all.”
Andrea hummed lightly, her eyelashes casting fluttering shadows under her eyes.
“I could binge–watch, shop, or learn baking… Anyway, someone said they would support me for a lifetime, so I’ll just be a rice weevil.‘
Roderick looked at her cute and proud look, and his heart suddenly softened.
“I’ll support you for the rest of your life, and I won’t bring up the idea of Andie going to work again, okay? Don’t be mad?”
“This is about right.”
When I got back to the villa, dark clouds were churning in the sky, a typhoon was about to hit.
Roderick turned around, raised his hand and pinched her face, with a

tone full of indulgence.
“Alright, go inside quickly. There’s suddenly some urgent matter at the company, I have to go back and deal with it.”
Andrea nodded obediently.
“So… I waited for you to come back and have dinner together.”
Watching Maybach disappear into the night, the smile on her face instantly faded.
Just as I stepped over the threshold, the servant came up to greet me.
“Miss, due to the typhoon, we had a power outage in our area temporarily, but don’t worry, the backup power will be restored soon.”
Power outage?
Andrea was happy inside, but didn’t show it on the outside.
“Got it, you go ahead and busy yourself.”
After the servant left, she quickly walked upstairs.
The sound of heels tapping on the marble floor was especially clear in the quiet villa.
As I turned the corner of the stairs, a shadow suddenly passed over my
head.
Andrea suddenly looked up and met the dark lens of the surveillance camera, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up instantly.
It’s okay, the power went out, Roderick couldn’t see.
Andrea took a deep breath, her nails digging into her palm, this was her chance given by God.

She pushed open the bedroom door, skillfully opened the hidden compartment in the wardrobe, where she kept her passport and ID.
She put her documents in the small crossbody bag she always carries, then turned around and called the maid.
“Tabitha, I left my phone in my brother’s car, can I borrow your phone. for a moment? I want to ask him when he’ll be back.”
Picking up her phone, Andrea quickly opened the flight booking app and entered her ID information.
Mom booked the ticket at the end of the month, there are still eighteen days…
She held her breath and double–checked the itinerary, refusing to give
- up.
Just 18 more days…
As long as we could make it to that day, everything would be over.
I don’t know why, but she suddenly felt empty inside.
I was eager to break free from Roderick’s confinement, but at the same time, I felt a little reluctant to let go of the warmth he once brought me.
No, Andrea, don’t be silly.
His warmth was always calculated, he had no sincerity towards you.
Thinking about this, Andrea’s gaze became more determined.
Just then, the lights in the villa suddenly turned on, and the central air conditioning started running again.
“Miss, the backup power has been activated!”
