Larry shook his head to indicate no.
However, it did not mean that Della had nothing to do with the person behind it. To be fair, many strange things had happened within the year.
"How much more longer do you want me to wait?" Abelyn sounded rather anxious on the phone.
Della smiled coldly before putting the phone in speaker mode.
"Why are you so anxious? Don't worry. You'll have your wish soon. And it's better to take things slowly. Patience is the key. I have to say, sometimes you are quite impulsive, Abelyn. I'll remind you again, make all the necessary preparations and leave a way out for yourself. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. Not
even Dustin."
Having said that, Della hung up the phone.
Abelyn stared at the phone in her hand as she gritted her teeth.
"What's the matter, Abelyn?" Dustin asked softly when he came over and hugged her tightly from behind.
"Oh, nothing. Um... is dinner ready? I'm hungry," Abelyn immediately turned around and asked as she placed a hand on her stomach.
"Come with me. Dinner is ready." As he spoke, he reached out and took her hand, and then he led her to the dining room.
Abelyn was taken aback when she saw the lavish spread on the dining table. Why is there so much food on the table? She eyed him suspiciously,
feeling somewhat puzzled.
