Beep, beep...
Before Abelyn had finished her sentence, Larry had ended the call.
We're doomed! Totally doomed!
“Damn it, Dustin. Why did you have to talk when you could've kept quiet?” Abelyn grumbled as she smacked him.
What? What did I do wrong this time? Dustin could not help but frown at her words.
“Shut up when we're on a call next time,” Abelyn reminded as she smacked his back.
Why do I have to shut up? Dustin could not comprehend why.
“Who was the one calling me just now?” Joan quietly asked as she exited the bathroom.
“It was your husband,” Abelyn replied.
“What?” Joan stiffened.
Then, she continued, “So, what did he say?”
“He hung up on the call right after hearing Dustin's voice.” Abelyn then shrugged with an exasperated expression
It was then Dustin took a few steps, about to flee from the scene.
“Where are you trying to go? Stand right there!” Abelyn huffed as she knocked his head.
“Stop it! I'm already not that smart. If you keep knocking it, I'll lose all my intellect!”
Meanwhile, Joan took her phone and retreated to her room. After clicking into her contacts, she then called Larry.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”
He must be angry! Joan knew that Larry often refused to pick up calls when he was in a foul mood. In fact, he would switch it off to stop the others from calling him.
This is terrible. Joan could only pace in her room, not knowing what she should do to salvage the situation.
Jessica just said he received a photo of me with Dustin, and now he's hearing Dustin's voice when he called me. It's impossible for him not to get jealous.
After hesitating for what seemed like eons, Joan got dressed and went downstairs.
On the other hand, Dustin and Abelyn were still fooling around in the living room.
