I walked out of the villa and saw that the lights in Jordan's house were switched on.
I went back to grab my phone and gave Shannon a call.
Shannon answered in no time. I asked with a smile, "Are you next door, Shannon?"
"You're at home?"
"Yes."
I could hear Shannon shouting outside.
She had walked out of the villa and was standing in the yard calling out to me.
I walked outside and saw Shannon wrapped in a thick down jacket. I could not help but laugh. "Did you catch a cold?" "I'm afraid of catching a cold.
I laughed. "How have you been?”
"I’m dying of exhaustion lately. I gave myself a day off today and spent the day in bed.”
I pursed my lips. "It's good to be alive."
It seemed like Shannon still did not know about my near accident.
Shannon let out a long sigh and said a little aggrievedly, "Life's hard. I have nothing to do today, but he isn't home. He hasn't come back since leaving the house this morning.
"I've decided to make a scene after he comes back.”
I laughed. “I don't think you have the heart to make a scene.”
Shannon’s mouth twitched. "Why would I not have the heart to do it?"
She looked into the villa and asked curiously, "Theo isn't home?”
I nodded. "He may be a little busier lately.’
At this point, I wanted to give Theo a call and ask him when he was coming home
However, he did not answer his phone.
