The next morning, when Emma woke up, she realized that no one was beside her. When she touched the blanket, there was still a trace of lingering warmth.He must have come back to sleep at night, but left early in the morning.
This was a very rare behavior for Alex, unless he was on a business trip. No matter how late he entertained guests, many times she was still woken by the sound of him softly talking to the baby in her belly.
With doubts in her mind, she went downstairs for breakfast. "Dad, did you see Alex come home last night?"
David's smile paused slightly. "No. I went to bed early last night."
"Oh."
A little disappointed, she turned to the butler. "Uncle Eric, did you see Alex come back last night?"
The butler hesitated for a moment, trying to keep his smile. "Third, madam, I didn't see him either. After finishing my duties, I went to rest as well."
That was really strange.
