Circe bit her lips as she thought about Darryl, which made her upset. She had invited him to dinner twice, but he always found an excuse to get out of it. Two days ago, she invited him to the villa to refine pills, but he ran away halfway through. He was not a man o f his word! 1
Circe said to Evelyn flatly, "Evelyn, turn it off."
She did not want to speak to Darryl.
However, Evelyn shook her head and smirked, "Why? He ran away the other day! I'm intrigued to find out what he's got to say." She answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker.
After answering the call, Evelyn yelled, "Why are you calling, douchebag?"
Darryl was panicking as sweat dripped down his head. He asked politely, "May I know if Miss Newman i s with you?"
Only the Heart of the Ocean could save Dax. He had to get hold of it no matter what it took.
"She's not here," Evelyn answered coldly. He never explained why he ran away and instead asked for Circe right away. What a rude guy. Did he think he could get away with it?
'Damn it! What was wrong with this Evelyn woman!'
Darryl thought.
Darryl sighed and continued anxiously, "Please, Evelyn. I really need to speak to Circe urgently. Could you please pass her the phone?"
'Urgently? What urgent matter could he be facing?’ Evelyn thought.
She scoffed, "If you have something urgent, then come to us. We're at the Adios cafe." Without waiting for him to answer, Evelyn ended the call.
"Evelyn! Why are you letting him come?" Circe asked i n confusion. She had the reputation of being cold and charming at school, yet a live-in son-in-law played her three times in a row! The thought of seeing Darryl made her feel almost embarrassed!
Evelyn smiled and gave her back the phone. “Circe, I know you hate this douche. That's why I asked him to come. Don't worry. When he comes, I'll make him pay for what he’s done to you!"
