Chapter 424
They kissed. Then, they hugged. Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, knocks came from the door.
As if they were doing something wrong, they jumped with alarm and wrung free of each other immediately. James cleared his throat. “Who is it?”
He was displeased.
‘Who was it knocking on the door? How rude. I almost had it. How dare they interrupt me?’ Gladys’ voice came from the door. She shouted, “Open the door! Lex is calling for a family meeting. He’s demanding everyone join.” “In the middle of the night? Come on!” James was displeased. Thea, on the other hand, was already dressed. She was quick. She had gotten dressed before James could even react. Blushing, she smiled at James. “M-Maybe next time…” What else could James say? Next time, then.
He put on his clothes. After getting dressed, they walked out of the room. “What took you two so long?”
Gladys was annoyed.
Suddenly, she noticed something. She stared at Thea and saw that her cheeks were red.
She understood with a single glimpse what had happened in the room. She swiftly dragged Thea aside and whispered, “Thea, d-did you do it with that piece of trash?”
“Huh?”
Thea panicked. 1
She felt as if she had done something wrong and was getting exposed.
Embarrassed, she hung her head. She did not know what to say.
“You…”
Enraged, Gladys rebuked her. “What did I tell you? Why won’t you listen?” “What are you dilly-dallying for? Don’t we have a family meeting to attend? Let’s get going.” As James’ plan had been ruined, he was displeased.
Thea hurriedly made her way to the door. “That girl!” Gladys crossed her arms. Benjamin looked at James and said, “Let’s go.”
They headed toward the Callahans’ villa.
