Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Patrick Disappears

"Can't get through?" Nana asked, puzzled. "Is he busy or something?"

"He turned off his phone," Jane's eyes darkened involuntarily. What was Patrick up to?

He had promised to come pick her up, why couldn't she reach him now?

"Maybe his phone ran out of battery," Nana tried to comfort her.

Jane nodded and said, "Let's wait for him here. He should come after he finishes whatever he's doing."

The two sat down on the couch and Jane stared intently at the door.

"Jane, don't worry too much. Maybe your husband wants to surprise you by suddenly appearing in front of you," Nana patted her shoulder when she saw Jane looking disappointed.

"Mm-hmm." Jane responded faintly but absent-mindedly.

For some reason, a feeling of unease rose in her heart as if something big was about to happen.

After thinking about it for a while, Jane dialed Morton's number again.

"Hello Miss North," Morton's voice came from the other end of the line.

Jane pursed her lips and asked, "Is Patrick at the company?"

"Mr. Pansy? He didn't come today." Morton sounded surprised. "Isn't he with you?"

"What? He didn't go to work?" Jane felt a pang in her heart and hurriedly asked again: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Morton nodded confidently.

Patrick had scheduled an important meeting with clients today but hadn't shown up yet; even calling his phone went straight to voicemail.

Morton thought that since it was their CEO's engagement ceremony today that Patrick would be accompanying Jane so he deliberately turned off his phone so they wouldn't be disturbed.

Now receiving a call from Jane made Morton wonder: "Miss North I thought Mr. Pansy is with you right now because I cancelled all his meetings for today."

"Nope! If you see him or have any news about him please let me know immediately!" The corners of Janes mouth stiffened as she took a deep breath.

"All right Miss North! Mr. Pansy may have some urgent business so I'll send someone out immediately!" Morton replied quickly before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, tension gripped Janes heart tightly.

"How did it go?" Nana asked concernedly

"He isn't at work."

The feeling of unease inside Janes heart grew stronger by the minute - where could Patrick have gone?

He clearly said this morning that he would be going into work; why can't anyone find him now – not even on his mobile device which has been switched off completely?!

Patrick was not the kind of person to disappear without explanation, especially on such an important day as their engagement ceremony. Could something have happened to him? Jane stood up suddenly, "I'm going out to find him." Nana followed her quickly, "I'll go with you." Jane didn't even bother changing out of her dress and headed outside. "Wait for me," Nana caught up and grabbed Jane's arm, "Jane, calm down. Do you know where to find Patrick?" Jane shook her head but then had a sudden idea. She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Anthony's number.

"Hey Ada, isn't today your big day? Why do you have time to call me?" Anthony joked on the other end of the line. "Aren't you afraid your husband will get jealous?"
