Rosalynn snuggled closer to Wayne. With a natural grace, he moved the hand that held his cane, pulling her into his embrace.
A nearby waitress watched this scene, her face filled with delight. Indeed, they were the sweetest couple in her eyes. However, if she could see Rosalynn's expression up close, she would probably think otherwise.
"Still, no answer." Wayne said, holding the phone with a furrowed brow.
At this point, Rosalynn took the phone and put it to her ear.
"We're sorry, the number you dialed does not exist."
"We're sorry, The number you dialed does not exist."d2
The woman's mechanical voice repeated, devoid of any warmth.
A loud rumble echoed in Rosalynn's heart.
The towering building she had been desperately holding up, collapsed in an instant.
In her mind, the video that Mike had brought to her resurfaced.
In the three clips, there was Wayne under the shade of a tree, unwrapping an ice cream cone and offering it to someone unseen while he frowned and chattered away.
There was also him strolling along a deserted path, looking pleased as if he had just heard a funny joke.
He was smiling all the way, even making playful gestures with the other person.
The final scene was similar.
He appeared to be in a heated debate with someone, his voice inaudible due to the distance of the dashcam, but it was obvious that he was furious.
After finishing his conversation, he looked down with a helpless expression, and then made a motion as if patting someone on the head.
Smart as Rosalynn was, she knew the moment when she saw the videos, that the kid wouldn’t show up today.
