Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 61

Jiang Yao had been profusely finding a chance to interject the conversation among the adults to ask if Lu Xingzhi had called home. Unfortunately, her attempts came to no avail.

Finally, when Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Haixing had decided to call it a day and went home, Jiang Yao quickly went up to her father-in-law and asked, "Dad, did Xingzhi call home these few days?"

Should she admit that she'd been waiting for his call for several days?

For the past few days in the county, she had seen Zhao Zhuangzong and the pregnant woman walking together like a regular couple several times. Once, she had even seen them coming out of the hospital together. From the looks of it, it seemed that they were there for a maternity checkup. Zhao Zhuangzong didn't see her because she was standing in a secluded area. She had to stop Lu Xiaoxiao from going forward to greet them.

That slow-witted girl still failed to notice the strangeness of it.

Besides wanting to talk about this with Lu Xingzhi, Jiang Yao missed him badly. She was also worried about him as he hadn't called for so many days already despite his promise to call as soon as he arrived at the base.

"No, I think he must be too busy with work that he has forgotten to call," Mr. Lu said. "Don't worry, he's an adult, he knows how to look after himself. Besides, it's been a few days already. If something had really happened, the base would have called us."

"Oh," Jiang Yao responded with her downcast eyes. Then, she excused herself and went upstairs to her room.

Deep under her indifference and inexpressive expression when talking to Mr. Lu, her blood was boiling in rage and agitation.

That a**hole! Didn't he say that he loved her to the moon and back? He went missing in action as soon as he returned to the base, like a kite which disappeared into the sky after its line broke.

Busy! Busy! Busy!

How busy could he be? Even if he was busy, it wouldn't be that much of a bother to make a simple phone call, would it?

In her previous life, when she wasn't fond of him, he would call home whenever he was free just to talk to her.
