Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2024
No. That’s not it. Maybe he’s just trying to test me. Maybe he knows nothing. After collecting herself, she made a call.
“Hey, come over. I need you,” Gabriella anxiously demanded.
However, the individual on the other end of the line fell silent.
“Who are you? Why are you calling him?” A high-pitched female voice traveled into her ears.
At that moment, Gabriella’s mind went blank.
What? Why is a woman picking up the call?
Gabriella swiftly hung up before making the call again, thinking that she had gotten the wrong number.
“Hey, spit it out. I’m starting to get annoyed from your continuous calls,” the other woman hissed impatiently.
He’s forgotten about me; he’s found a new woman!
Thud! Gabriella threw her phone on the ground.
She then slumped on the couch as tears began to brim in her eyes.
Men are useless, Gabriella thought as a brutal look crawled into her tearful eyes.
“Hey, bro, there’s some weird girl who was calling you earlier. I asked her what’s the matter, but she refused to say anything. Call her back later, okay?”
“Who was it?” the man shouted from inside the bathroom.
“I don’t recognize her voice, but her name in your contacts is…”
Oh no. It’s Gabriella! Oh no, oh no. She’s going to misunderstand. The man hurriedly washed off the suds and wrapped himself in his towel before walking out.
“Wow, your body still looks as amazing as ever!”
“Shoo! Hurry up and go to work. Stop messing around all day.”
When the man checked his phone, he realized his sister was speaking the truth—there were two calls from Gabriella. A delighted smile grew on his lips.
“Gabriella, did you call me?” the man whispered into his phone.
