Well, there is, but I find it really irritating!
“What are you going on about? You're the only one I love,” Larry assured.
“Who are you talking to?” Della demanded in a booming voice as she walked in out of the blue.
Hmm? Why is there a woman's voice? Unease flooding her, Joan stared at the cell phone in her hand suspiciously.
“Hello? Where are you now, Larry?” she inquired.
“I'm handling some matters outside. I'll be hanging up, okay? I've still got some things to do.” After saying that, Lary hung up the phone.
“Hello, Larry? Hello?”
“What's wrong? Did something happen?” Delilah questioned in concern while instantly rushing over.
“Huh? No, everything's fine,” Joan replied softly.
Who exactly is that woman earlier? She didn't sound familiar at all, so I probably don't know her. Tilting her head, she plunged into deep contemplation as she gazed at the moon outside. God, I should've agreed to remarry him back then! Look what happened now! Everyone knows that he's currently single, so there must be tons of women eyeing him!
At that very moment, regret swamped her.
“Was it a woman?” Della asked without shying away.
“How did it go?” Larry queried in a low voice, deliberately changing the subject.
“Answer my question first. Who was on the phone with you earlier?” Della demanded brashly, making it obvious that she was peeved.
“It was my wife,” Larry answered, loud and clear.
There's nothing to hide. I love Joan, and she's my only wife in this lifetime! As for Della, I can merely regard her as a close business partner or friend.
