"Alaina, why haven't you come back yet? Do you know how worried I am? Arvis misses you very much. Mrs. Liu said that she would wait for you to come back for dinner. I sent you messages, but you didn't reply to me. I am so anxious..."
Avon said so much in a hurry, but he suddenly stopped and asked tentatively, "Alaina... did the man surnamed Bai... bully you?"
Sitting on the sofa, Alaina held the phone and listened to Avon's questions. She pursed her lips and did not know how to answer him.
Why didn't she go back? She wanted to go back, but she couldn't. Did Issac bully her? It seemed that he had bullied her and forced her because he was rich. However, he didn't go too far.
"Alaina!" Avon became more anxious because Alaina remained silent all the time, "Alaina, say something! What happened to you?"
Alaina came to sense and tried her best to say in a normal tone, "Avon, I'm fine."
"Fine?" Avon seemed to be relieved, but he immediately asked, "Then why haven't you come back yet? Is it because you don't know the way back? Tell me the address and I will pick you up!"
"No." Alaina refused without hesitation, "I... won't go back for the time being. Don't wait for me to have dinner."
"What do you mean? Can't you come back for the time being?"
Alaina exhaled, "This is what I mean."
As soon as she said this, she heard the sound of the door being opened. Her heart missed a beat as she said to Avon anxiously, "Avon, I have something to do here. I'll call you later!"
Before Avon could say anything, she hung up the phone in a hurry and looked in the direction of the door nervously.
Isaac closed the door feebly, only to find that the room was ablaze with lights. He was stunned for a moment. Then he looked up and saw Alaina sitting on the sofa.
He felt much more relieved in an instant and was no longer so depressed.
Although he stayed outside for a long time, he didn't know what to say to her at the moment. He glanced at her, and then looked away, took out his slippers and changed his shoes. Then he turned around and staggered to the kitchen.
Alaina saw this and was confused. What did he go to the kitchen? Was he going to force her with a knife?
Her heart suddenly beat faster, but she held back the urge to see what was going on. She sat there nervously, clenching her fists, and even her toes curled up uncontrollably.
"Crack!"
Alaina was startled and turned to look in the direction of the kitchen.
"Crack!"
The sound of porcelain falling to the ground came again, followed by Issac's low curse. However, his voice was not loud and she was a bit away from the kitchen, so she didn't know what he was cursing.
She endured it for a while and then got up and went to the kitchen.
Standing at the door of the kitchen, she saw everything clearly. Isaac stood at the edge of the cabinet. Beside his feet, there were two broken cups. At this time, he didn't look very well. To be exact, his face was a little pale. He reached out and rubbed his temple with a frown.
Isaac patted his aching forehead. As he loosened his grip, he caught a glimpse of Alaina who was standing at the door from the corner of his eyes. He was dumbfounded for a moment before turning his head away. His thin lips trembled a little and then he pursed his lips slightly. Originally, his eyes were listless, but they were filled with surprise at this time. There were even some excitement and joy in his eyes.
However, those emotions soon disappeared.
