"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw someone who looked like him! I could be mistaken?"
She didn't know why she needed to test Fabian. Somewhere deep in her heart, she somewhat trusted Vivian's words!
Vivian mentioned before that she had lost her freedom because of a man. Was she referring to Callum?
Fabian interrupted her thoughts.
"You've indeed seen him! He has been released!"
Eudora paused, surprised that Fabian did not have any intentions to hide it from her.
"W-why?"
"Because Callum didn't do anything wrong! Charlie was released, so naturally, Callum can be bailed too! He wanted to meet you just now, but I reckoned that you weren't in a good mood to meet so many people at once. So, I sent him off!"
"Oh!" Eudora nodded. "That explains."
As she spoke, she took a secret glance at Fabian. Although she felt that he was being honest, but Vivian...
In the midst of her thoughts, Fabian placed another rib on her plate.
"I know that you would still blame me a little deep down, as Callum is let out before Uncle Holt's case is settled. But don't you worry, I know what to do. I will never forget what the Granger family did! You will be my wife in the future, we will go through everything together!"
Eudora smiled and didn't say anything.
Noticing that she wasn't saying anything, Fabian asked, "Are you getting nervous? The wedding is tomorrow, and I heard that many women tend to be nervous before the wedding..."
Eudora nodded to cover up the fact that she was testing him just now. "Yes, I'm slightly nervous..."
It was the first time that she showed her soft side. Fabian felt his heart soften, and he reached out to hold Eudora's fingers.
"Don't be afraid. I'll treat you well. You'll live a good life in the future!"
"Okay!" she replied.
When she got home, she felt slightly tired. She threw her bag onto the bed and lay down on the floor barefooted. Vivian's words kept lingering in her mind.
"Ants are the same as humans. Since there will be no future, why give it hope?"
Was Vivian trying to tell her something?
The phone in her bag rang. While Eudora was digging for her phone, a business card accidentally fell out.
Vivian's name was written on the card, along with an address.
Eudora's finger brushed against the address, and suddenly she had a strong urge. Perhaps, she should go and ask Vivian for an explanation.
The moment this idea surfaced, Eudora couldn't help but feel her heart throbbing.
Eudora switched off her phone and left with the name card.
The butler asked hastily when he saw her rushing out, "Miss, you just came home. Where are you going this time?"
"I..." Eudora stuttered and hesitated for a moment. "I'm going out for a walk."
"Then you come home earlier. You'd worked too hard recently!"
"Alright!" Eudora nodded.
When she drove out, Eudora took another look at the address on the business card. It was a remote place, and it didn't look like a place where people would live.
Eudora frowned. She felt the need to go and take a look.
A white light flashed in front of her eyes, and Eudora felt a chill in her heart. She put away the business card hurriedly and followed the source of the light. She caught a glimpse of something that resembled a mirror.
Was someone spying on her?
However, she couldn't make out who they were. For the sake of her safety, Eudora decided to turn around and drive towards another direction.
Along the way, Eudora observed the situation from the rearview mirror silently. She was then vigilant of her surroundings. As expected, there was an inconspicuous car behind her, catching up to her quickly.
The car followed her skillfully. It did not approach and followed her unhurriedly, keeping a distance. If she weren't careful, she wouldn't have detected their presence.
