True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1777

Leah was truly surprised to see Ernest.

She thought that Ernest would never see her again after they broke up, especially after he warned her that seriously.

Leah's heart was crushed into pieces at that time.

She didn't want to humiliate herself, hence blocking his number. She didn't want to give herself the chance to find him again.

She deleted all of his contact information. She didn't even want to get in touch with Maria, as Maria would only remind her of him.

Yet, he was actually looking into her eyes and talking to her right now over the phone. What was happening?

Leah had no idea.

She was afraid that she would be reading too much into this.

Ernest's gaze turned deeper as he finally got to see Leah. He had been missing her every single day. With a complicated expression, he asked, "Are you outside?" "Yes," Leah replied faintly. She didn't want to let him hear anything strange from her tone.

Yet her voice was still trembling unconsciously.

She didn't know whether Ernest could tell or not.

Leah didn't want to figure out Ernest's intention for this phone call. She said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I still have things to attend to."

She was about to hang up when Ernest said quickly, "Don't hang up."

Leah was startled for a moment. She looked at Ernest in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ernest hesitated for a moment and said, "Leah, unblock my number."

His voice was low. It even sounded like an order, leaving no room for negotiation.

Leah raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is that necessary? Didn't you tell me that we won't be seeing each other anymore?"

"There's still something we have to figure out together. It's necessary." Ernest replied.

Leah was startled for a long while. She really couldn't know what Ernest was thinking.

"I don't know what you are referring to. I'm sure we have dealt with everything between us. Just tell me what's on your mind." Leah asked in a straightforward manner.

Ernest could tell that she didn't want to talk more with him. He frowned and said, "Unblock my number, and then we'll talk."

"There's no need for that," Leah flatly refused, "I think you can just tell me now."

Ernest frowned and couldn't help but ask in a lower voice, "Why do you insist on blocking my number?"

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Leah asked.

Ernest immediately frowned and asked, "When did I ask for it?"

Leah said again, "You were the one who told me we won't be seeing each other after breaking up. I agreed with that. Isn't it best for us to be blocking each other's numbers then? Just tell me whatever you want to say. I'm busy."

"Why are you outside at this hour? It's not safe for you. You should go back now." Ernest again sounded as if he was ordering her around. Leah frowned. She didn't like hearing that.

"I don't think you get to decide on that," Leah said, "Just tell me what you want to say and then I'll hang up."

At that moment, the guy walking behind Leah approached her and put his arm around her shoulders. He saw Ernest through the phone and immediately asked, "Leah, who is this?"

Leah's body stiffened at the sudden touch. She turned around and looked at the guy before saying, "He's a cousin of my friend. You know, the beauty from just now."

Ernest frowned upon hearing how Leah introduced him. He was clearly upset.

Also, he noticed Leah didn't push that guy away despite his arm on her shoulders.

Ernest's eyes narrowed at that sight. His frown grew deeper as he said in a low voice, "Leah, how did you introduce me again?"

"I said you are Maria's cousin. What's wrong with that?" Leah refuted. Why was he being like this? She didn't do anything wrong.

Ernest could tell that Leah was determined in ending things with him.

How could he allow this to happen?

Ernest then said to the guy beside Leah, "Take your hand off my woman."

The guy was startled and glanced at Leah subconsciously.

Leah was also dumbfounded.
