True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1761

Both Ernest and Liam were a little surprised to hear the news. Why did they suddenly leave without informing them?

Liam thought something was off. He knew that Maria wouldn't leave without an excuse.

His expression sank and he turned to look at Ernest.

Ernest's face was pale and he seemed a little solemn.

The two of them exchanged confused glances with each other.

When neither of them spoke, the butler, Pedro, hurriedly asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Did they seem off when they left?" Liam asked Pedro.

Pedro shook his head and thought carefully before saying, "No, I heard Miss Maria tell Miss Winston that she wanted to go out for a drive the moment I entered the house. They told me to tell you so you guys wouldn't get worried."

"They're just going out for a drive?" Liam was still surprised. He took out his mobile phone and

called Maria.

Soon, the call was picked up, but Leah was the one who answered the phone.

Leah's calm voice came through the phone, "Hi Mr. Robinson, it's Leah. I'm out with Maria right now. You won't mind me spending some time with her apart from you, right?"

"Leah, why did you guys suddenly decide to go out? Can't Maria answer the phone?" Liam asked, confused.

"She's driving. She said she's not very good at it, so it's best for her to concentrate on the road for now. She'll call you back later," Leah explained.

When Ernest heard that Liam was talking to Leah, he hurriedly said, "Pass me the phone. I want to speak to Leah."

Liam then told Leah, "Hold on. Ernest wants to talk to you."

When Leah heard this, she remained silent.

At that moment, the phone seemed to have been passed over to someone else.

Ernest took the phone from Liam and asked, "Leah?"

There was a pause on the other side of the phone. After a few seconds, Ernest called out again, "Leah, are you there?"

But this time, it was Maria who answered him, "Hello, Ernest. It's Maria. I thought this was Liam's phone?"

"Maria?" Ernest frowned. No matter how calm Maria sounded, he could feel that something was off with her tone.

"Yes, it's me. Don't worry. Leah and I are just going out for a short drive. We'll take good care of ourselves. You can be rest assured. Please stop calling us for the time being. It'll be a hassle for us to pick up the phone since we're driving."

When Ernest heard this, he felt his heart tighten.

He felt a little suffocated.

"Pass Leah the phone. I want to talk to her," Ernest grunted.

"You can talk to her after we get back. Alright, I'm hanging up now," Without giving Ernest a chance to ask anything else, Maria hung up the phone just like that.

At that moment, Ernest felt that something was wrong. No matter how slow he was in catching up to situations, he knew that Leah was deliberately avoiding him, and Maria was intentionally avoiding Liam.

The two girls had obviously gone away on purpose to avoid him and Liam.

Maria did not even give him a chance to talk to

Leah.

Once the call ended, Ernest returned the phone to Liam.

Liam frowned and looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"They don't want to talk to us, do they?" Liam asked.

"Well, it's obvious that they don't want to talk to us. Maria wouldn't let me talk to Leah, and Leah wouldn't let you talk to Maria," Ernest sighed.

"I don't understand why Maria is avoiding me. I don't think I've offended her in any way. We weren't fighting before this. What's going on? Am I overthinking it?" Liam was very puzzled.

"I don't think you are. I can understand why Leah doesn't want to talk to me, but I can't work out why Maria would suddenly ignore you and leave with Leah. Something seems wrong," Ernest said with a sigh.

"What on earth happened?" Liam knitted his brows.

The two men deliberated over the matter for a long while, but they still couldn't figure it out.

They thought that the change had happened too abruptly, so they were caught off guard.

Amidst their quiet contemplation, Pedro slipped away and disappeared from sight.

By the time Liam and Ernest came to their senses, Pedro had already left the living hall.

Ernest frowned and whispered, "I think Pedro might know something. I'll ask him about it first, then you should give Maria another call. Maybe Maria went out with Leah to help Leah clear her thoughts. After all, I don't think you and Maria should have any problems going on between you two."

"I hope that's true."
