Right now, she could only change into Marcel’s clothes, and then find a way to get him to buy some clothes for her to wear!
Rae sat on Marcel's bed and looked around for a bit. She noticed that his bedroom was very simple. His bed was so big that it took up half the space of the entire room. He also had a cabinet which was fixed into the wall! There was also a table lamp on one side of the bedside cabinet. His room was filled with some simple decorative items and some man's supplies. As she sat on the clean white sheets, she could feel what a clean freak Marcel really was! She was thinking as she was sitting on this bed, would he change the sheets tomorrow, or even change the bed!
After changing her clothes with great difficulty, Rae was already covered in sweat, it hurt too much!
She did not know when the injury on her foot would heal. Moreover, father should still want to talk about the matter of the Baxter family with her. He wanted her to infuriate Leonard, but how could she have the heart to do it?
At that moment, the bedroom door was knocked a few times. Rae was stunned, why was Marcel being so polite again? He who dared to rush into the washroom was actually being polite towards her, he even knocked on the door!
“I'm coming in, Rae!"
As he was still talking, once the door was pushed open, he held Rae’s phone in his hand and handed it over, “Someone called you twice!”
Rae was startled and her face became pale. The one calling could not be her father, could it?
She hesitantly reached out to take it and said thank you.
“Your face became so pale, it's not a phone call from your lover, is it?” Marcel teased as he handed it over.
Rae's heart became even more frightened.
She took it and glanced at the phone, the number displayed on it was an unfamiliar number, she did not know who it was, was it her father? The probability of it was very low, he hardly ever called her in these past five years. He normally just messaged her, and the messages were normally very short.
Marcel did not intend to leave her, He looked at Rae who dared not to call back. He then frowned and asked, “Did I really guess the caller correctly?”
“No!” Rae denied as she was still hesitating to call back. She was afraid of revealing the truth.
She hesitated when the phone rang again.
She let it vibrate several times, but she still did not answer it.
“You don’t have the guts to answer it? I'll help you!” Marcel replied while he snatched back the phone. The cell was already picked up.
Rae wanted to snatch the phone back, but she was grabbed by Marcel with one hand. He raised the phone up high, “Hello! Who is this?”
As she did not know what did the caller from the other side of the phone said, Rae was getting anxious, “Give me the phone!”
Marcel shrugged his shoulders and said into the phone, “Hello, this is Rae's phone, who is this?”
Marcel had put the phone on the loudspeaker in order for Rae to be able to listen.
Then, Rae heard the voice of Minnie Cole, the mistress of the Baxter family, coming from the phone. Minnie was Rae's mother, she was already middle-aged but she still looked charming, even her voice sounded so gentle. “Oh! Hello, I'm Rae's mother. Who are you, young man?”
Marcel was shocked. He did not expect this unidentified number to be from Rae’s mother. He could not believe why Rae's mother was calling her from an unidentified number.
He looked at Rae suspiciously, and Rae started frowning as soon as she heard Minnie's voice. Her mood also became depressed almost immediately.
In fact, she did not know how to get along with Minnie. Every time she got furious, started throwing things and was angry with her parent when she was still at the Baxter family’s house, Minnie always said that everything will be fine with a smile. Her mother knew that she was in a bad mood. Her mother also thought that being mad at others rather than being mad at themselves was wrong!
So much so that in later years, Rae was embarrassed of all the wrongdoing she did when she was at the Baxter’s family house that she decided to move out!
There was a high chance that Kane finally knew that she had moved out and now he wanted her to admit her wrongdoings!
Tonight, she could not relax after receiving a message from her father and a call from Minnie.
“I am...” Marcel glanced at Rae and deliberately trailed his voice for a long tone.
Rae got nervous all of a sudden. Minnie and Leonard both wanted her to find a boyfriend quickly, or else they would introduce her to someone. Moreover, they had been postponing this for a very long time! Minnie must be very happy that the receiver of this caller was a man.
Seeing that Marcel stopped talking in mid-sentence, Rae became even more nervous. Her hand had already grabbed his lapel.
When Marcel saw her tiny hand pulling his lapel, he suddenly said into the phone, “Auntie, hello! I'm Rae's boyfriend!”
“Ah!” As expected, Minnie's surprised voice came from the other side, “Hello, future son-in-law, what's your name? How do you know my daughter? What does your family do? When are you planning to get married? Oh, or do you have any plans to get married?”
Marcel did not expect Rae's mother to ask so many questions in a row, he was dumbfounded by the questions asked by her!
When Rae heard what Marcel had said, she got mad immediately. She instantly clenched her hand which was gripping on his label into a fist and gave him a punch on his waist.
“Ah...” Marcel shouted as he was not prepared for that moment.
Rae stared in dismay.
Minnie asked over the phone, “Huh? What's wrong? Did something happened?”
“Auntie, Minnie sneaked up on me!” Marcel answered truthfully.
“What about Rae?” Minnie asked again, “What are you guys doing? You said she sneaked up on you, young man, but you have not told me what your name is?”
Marcel did not intend to say his name, he held the phone and looked at Rae.
