Frances’s voice seemed helpless, “Even if it’s an astray, I also want to try. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll regret it in the future.”
Mrs. Maggie Kaur Mason looked at Frances for a long time before she said, “Everyone says you have changed, but you haven’t changed your temperament. You are as stubborn as before.”
Frances smiled and stood up holding the phone. “Okay. I am already at such an age. I’ve been stubborn for half my life. There’s really no way for me to change it.”
Then she said, “I’ll answer the phone, but I am afraid you’ll be angry if I answer it in front of you. I’d better go out.”
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Maggie Kaur Mason understood who made the call.
Mrs. Maggie Kaur Mason looked displeased and impatient. “All right, all right, you go out.”
She really would be unhappy if Frances answered Khalid’s phone in front of her.
So Frances had made a very thoughtful consideration.
Frances left the house with the phone and stood outside.
She dialed Khalid back directly.
Khalid answered almost immediately, and then spoke first, “Was it inconvenient for you to answer the phone just now?”
Frances sighed, “I was talking to my mother just now. It’s really a little inconvenient to answer.”
Khalid nodded over there, “Did you have dinner?”
It’s already very late, and both of them must have had their dinner. “Yep,” Frances answered simply.
In fact, Khalid had nothing to say. He just wanted to call. There was nothing to chat with.
Frances didn’t know what to say as well. Khalid drank too much the night before.
She wanted to take a taxi to send Khalid back to the old house. However, Khalid took her hand and said not to go back there.
Khalid was very stubborn. It was unlike what he used to be.
At that time, Nicolas was watching nearby. Frances also intended to let Nicolas understand, so she directly took Khalid back to her home.
Khalid knew where Frances lived, but he had never been there.
Although he drank too much, he looked around after entering Frances’s house and joked, “It seems that you’ve been doing well since you left me.”
Khalid slept in the guest room that night.
Frances hardly slept all night.
This feeling was a little awkward.
It’s not annoying or rejoicing. It’s like something rubbed her heart.
Those two kept silent for a long time on the phone. The atmosphere was natural previous, but gradually it turned to be embarrassing since they were so silent.
Finally, Khalid spoke first, “I drank too much yesterday. I didn’t remember how I went to your place.”
Frances quickly explained, “You really drank too much, and then kept saying you didn’t want to go back to the old house. I didn’t know where to send you, so I could only bring you to my house.”
Khalid didn’t mean anything else. Hearing Frances’s explanation, he immediately said, “Well, I should have brought you trouble last night.”
“No, nothing troubled.” Frances could only say that.
Khalid pinched his cellphone tightly, and then said, “You and Nicolas...”
The latter words did not need to be said. Frances immediately understood him.
She vomited a sigh, “I have nothing with Nicolas. At present, we are just friends.”
Actually, Khalid could feel it.
“That is good,” He said.
These three words mean a lot.
Frances didn’t speak. Khalid waited and said, “You’ve changed a lot recently. I think I’ve also changed a lot.”
Frances didn’t understand Khalid at first.
What did he mean!
Khalid waited for a while and said, “In the past, maybe I didn’t understand how to get along with you to ensure the long-term marriage. I’m also responsible for the current relationship between us.”
“Well,” Frances said, she really didn’t know what to say.
Khalid never had been sweet-talked before.
Those two sentences already made him blush on the phone.
