By the time Zena hang up, almost half of the cigarette in her hand had been burnt.
The phone screen had turned dark. She held the phone with more strength and felt extremely angry.
D*mn it!
Some people were like greedy wolves! She shouldn't have...
Thinking of this, she paused for a moment, and then turned around with hatred in heart. As soon as she turned around, her body stiffened. Although she was flustered, she had to keep calm.
She had wanted Xavier to return home as soon as possible, and she had been worried that he would not come back. But at this time...
Did he... hear what she said just now?
She said with difficulty, "Xavier... when did you come back? I... didn't even hear you."
After that, she remembered that she was still holding a cigarette in her hand. She took a few steps to the tea table and put it out.
Xavier leaned on the door frame with a bland expression. He stared at her for a while and then turned his eyes to the mobile phone in her hand.
Zena's heart beat violently as he looked at her. She swallowed lightly and forced a calm smile, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Who were you talking to just now?" After a long while, Xavier finally said.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard her screaming angrily, "Don't go too far." He walked through the living room quickly. As soon as he walked to the door of the bedroom, he saw Zena looking out of the window with her mobile phone in hand, and she seemed to be very mad.
Hearing this, Zena stared at him carefully while recalling what she had just said on the phone to see if she had said anything improper.
After recalling it, she calmed down a lot. She collected her scattered thoughts and blurted out, "Oh, I was talking to my distant cousin. You know him. He wanted to work at my studio, but I didn't agree. Later he said that he wanted to buy a house but didn't have enough money. He borrowed some money from my parents but hasn't pay it back yet. He was too embarrassed to ask my parents for help, so he called me. We played together when we were young and it was not a huge sum of money, so I lend the money to him. However, he not only didn't buy a house and spent all the money, but also wanted to borrow money from me again. I got angry and scolded him."
Xavier nodded gently. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped.
Zena's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She stared at him, for fear that he would say something else.
"Smoke less in the future. It's not good for your health."
Looking at Xavier's back, Zena raised her hand and touched her chest. She was so scared just now.
When she was about to follow him, her cell phone rang again.
She was annoyed. Looking at the caller ID on the screen, she really wanted to swear. She didn't want to answer it, so she hung up directly and blacklisted the phone number.
"Xavier, you're hungry, aren't you? Go wash your hands and we'll eat dinner. I cooked your favorite dishes today." Zena went out and put on a tender and virtuous smile.
Xavier had seen the dishes on the table when he walked in. His mood, which had been complicated and uneasy since last night, relieved a lot at that moment.
"Okay." Xavier nodded and stared at Zena, "Let's eat.
I have something to say to you after dinner."
Although Elizabeth had tried her best to hurry up, it still took her more than half an hour to dress up.
