The Law of Attraction

Chapter 363: Losing Money Is Nothing

Luo did a little stretching of her neck, arms, and back as she walked towards the bed to sleep. She sighed, looking at the empty bed before her.

"It feels so cold," she murmured a complaint. Noah was out of the country for an important business since yesterday, and their bed felt so empty and dull with her sleeping alone for a night, and now it was another night where she had to be alone.

She missed her husband so much that she just kept herself busy by focusing on Lana and Liam's case the whole day and even night. It was already eleven in the evening when she decided to finally stop and prepare for bed.

She jumped on the bed and moved her arms and legs, flapping them together.

"The bed's too big for me!" she complained with pouty lips. She wanted to tag along with Noah, but Noah told her that his schedule would be very compact and that he would feel bad if he could not attend to her which was why he would not bring her along, although he would love to have her by his side.

She exhaled loudly and hugged Noah's pillow like it was him. His scent was still there, so she buried her face in it, hoping she could have a good night and go straight to sleep.

"I miss you baby…" she hummed as she closed her eyes.

But then suddenly got up when her mobile phone rang. She smiled, seeing it was Noah.

She quickly answered and teased, "Don't make it so obvious that you miss me already… We just talked, before and after dinner."

She heard his loud laugh on the other line and smiled. Lately, she could make Noah laugh more and she felt so pleased seeing him happy and laughing at her simple jokes and teasing.

Sometimes even she thought her words were lame and yet he would still give his crispy laughter in reply to them and that was music to her ears. So every once in a while she made sure to tease him like now.

"Yeah, I just want to check if you are sleeping or not." Noah whispered. He wanted to go back already and be with his wife but then he still had one more meeting to go to tomorrow.

He should be sleeping now but like last night, sleep was just too difficult to come to him. The bed felt so cold and empty without Luo.

"I love you…" Luo suddenly uttered, making Noah freeze on his bed.

Luo bit her lip, hearing the dead silence on the other line.

'Did he fall asleep at that very instant?' She mused.

"You there? I will hang up now. Sleep well and tight okay? I will be waiting for your return." Luo said and quickly ended the call.

Noah was probably shocked to hear those three letter words from her and so he was speechless. She decided to be vocal now, especially with those words because she felt that she had already established a strong connection with him.

"So what if I say it first? It's not like it will kill me," she encouraged herself as she laid back on the bed and hugged Noah's pillow head like it was him.

"Mwah… Goodnight…" she beamed after giving a sounding kiss to the pillow like it was Noah. Then soon she dozed off into a deep slumber.

The night felt so chilly that luo pulled on the quilt to cover herself but it was being pulled down…

"Urghh!" Luo made an irritated sound and pulled it up lazily. Then she felt a tight hug from behind, Noah's familiar scent lingered on her nose and she smiled thinking she was having a good dream of her husband hugging her closely.

But then she felt his warm lips kissing her neck, making her giggle.

"Baby… I'm back because I want to hear that in person, what you said on the phone." She heard Noah whisper in her ear.

That very instant Luo opened her eyes and turned around to see if Noah was really there.

She cupped his face and muttered, "You're back for real?"

She even squeezed his cheeks and Noah chuckled. Luo darted her eyes towards the wall clock in the room and saw it was already four in the morning.

"Don't you have one more meeting tomorrow? Oh! that's today, in a few hours…" Luo asked with knitted brows.

Noah nodded with a smile as she gently caressed Luo's cheek with his palm.

"You look so lovely," Noah whispered.

Luo blushed in the dark and mumbled, "Is your meeting cancelled?"

"Hmm, I cancelled it because I couldn't wait to fly back to my wife…" Noah casually said.

"What?! But that's a big venture… You will lose millions." Luo gasped. She was shocked with what was going on.

Noah only smiled and muttered, "Losing money is nothing as long as I will not lose my lovely wife…"

Luo parted her lips, still confused.

Noah touched those parted lips and leaned closer to give her a gentle kiss.

"I miss you so much." Noah whispered but Luo gently pushed him.

With furrowed forehead, she exclaimed, scolding,"you mean you cancelled that big project meeting, just because you miss me? You can fly back after the meeting you know. It's the same day today anyway."

"You said you love me…" Noah whispered.

"And so?" Luo beamed.

"So I want to say I love you too in person…" Noah said with eyes staring closely at her.

She was too shocked and speechless, wondering if she heard everything right.

"I must be dreaming," she voiced out followed by a resounding slap on her own face.

"Ouch! I'm not dreaming?!" She burst with rounded eyes staring at Noah.

Noah smiled and cupped her face. He gently caressed the cheeks Luo slapped as he murmured, "Baby wake up now… It's late…"

That was when Luo's eyes opened and she saw the ceiling of their bedroom. She rose from the bed with a crumpled face and murmured, "I hate this! Why do dreams like these look and feel so real! Giving me false hope!"

Still irritated, she threw Noah's pillow that she was still hugging.
