"Well, you must be tired now. Just rest. My chauffeur i s waiting downstairs. By the way, don’t forget to take the supplements that I bought for you. And your grandma has returned from Athana. She looks full of beans judging by how loud she lectures people." Apparently, Mark was showing her the door. Yvette stood up from the settee.
"Okay."
As Yvette emerged from the apartment, she thought of the telephone call she received in the morning; Ms. Moore was complaining and expressing her dissatisfaction with her and Ronald.
When Ms. Moore suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and underwent treatment in Athana, Ronald had never visited her. It was undeniably unbecoming of him as a son-in-law.
Now that Ms. Moore was back from Athana, Ronald had to go to Norwood, no matter what.
She took out her mobile phone, dialed the number, and pressed the call button. There was no answer.
Anger boiled inside Yvette. Since he did not pick up her call, she would keep calling until he answered.
The call finally got through after six or seven
attempts, and she heard heavy breathing at the other end. 1
"What are you doing? Why did you only pick up after s o long? I have been trying to call you for seven times!” Yvette was upset.
"I am busy with documentation work. Someone is coming for an inspection tomorrow. Please cut it short if you have anything to say." Ronald's voice was a little hoarse.
Yvette sensed something amiss. "What’s the matter with your voice? You sound like you have a frog in your throat."
