Ring...
Silvia and Mrs. Turner had just sat down for dinner when a phone call came in. It was Jayden. Silvia glanced at her mother and Mrs. Turner chuckled and said, "See, what did I just tell you?"
Silvia said, "Mom..."
Mrs. Turner said, "Hurry up and pick it up! If you don't, he's going to come over to the house to capture you."
Silvia answered the phone call. "Are you done with your work already?"
"Not yet." Jayden's low voice sounded in Silvia's ear. His voice did not sound as calm and powerful as it usually was. Instead, he sounded a little tired.
"Why are you calling me if you are still busy then? You should get back to work now." She was still waiting for him to pick her up, so she did not want him to waste precious time on the phone with her.
Jayden's voice sounded from the phone again. "Silvia, I'm calling you to tell you that I won't be going back home tonight. I'll get the driver to pick you up later."
"Oh..." Silvia responded in disappointment, and then said, "It's okay. You can go do whatever you have to do. I'll stay at my mom's place tonight then."
Silvia had already gotten used to Jayden driving her around. Now that he couldn't come, Silvia felt like something was missing in her heart. However, she wasn't sure what that feeling was. In short, she just felt like she had a lump in her throat.
"Okay. Make sure you rest early." Jayden, who was on the other end of the phone, did not say anything else after that. After a moment of silence, Silvia hung up the phone.
Seeing that Silvia was a little down after the phone call, Mrs. Turner immediately comforted her, "Silvia, it's normal for men to be busy with work and not go home. Your father used to go on business trips too."
"Mom, he's just a rich kid who doesn't need to work for a living. His father is in charge of everything in his family, what kind of work does he have to do?" Silvia did not want to overthink, but she just could not control her mind. "Mom, do you think that he's cheating on me?"
Looking at her jealous daughter, Mrs. Turner couldn't help laughing and said, "Aw, just look at you. Are you becoming a green- eyed monster?"
Silvia waved her hand and denied, "What kind of nonsense is that, Mom? Why would I get jealous because him? Who does he think he is?"
Mrs. Turner brought another bowl of stew over and said with a smile, "Did I say that you were jealous? Are you admitting it yourself?"
Silvia stamped her feet anxiously. "Mom..."
Mrs. Turner put the bowl of stew in front of Silvia and advised her patiently, "Silvia, we get jealous because we care about that person. But you should learn to stop getting jealous for no reason. You have to learn to trust him, do you understand that?"
Silvia suddenly felt that the stew that her mother had cooked for her no longer tasted delicious. She said dejectedly, "This is the first time he's not coming home... I-I'm just worried about him."
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Silly child, you should tell him that you're worried about him then. Otherwise, how would he know?"
After listening to her mother's advice, Silvia went into the room and called Jayden on the phone. However, no one picked up the phone. Silvia tried to call him again...
At the seventh call, the line finally connected. Before Jayden could even say anything, Silvia said in an anxious voice, "Jayden, where did you go? Why aren't you answering my call?"
"I'm busy!" Jayden merely spat out these words and fell silent.
