CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 It Was Late 

"Really?" Ruby furrowed her brows. Why did she feel uncertain? 

On the other side, Francis sat in the car, making several phone calls without anyone answering. 

It was drizzling outside the car window, and he felt an indescribable sense of frustration. 

Nelson also called Francis. Francis pulled at his tie as he answered the phone. 

"Speak." 

Nelson was startled by his tone and quickly got straight to the point, "Ms. Quinn is not very satisfied with the birthday gift. She asked me to tell you that after meeting with the client, you must go to her place. Otherwise... she will ignore you." 

"Understood." Francis hung up the phone and stepped on the accelerator. The car disappeared into the night rain. 

He drove to the Landau Residence where Rosalie and Ruby were still in the living room with their facial masks on. 

Ruby was the first to see him. He stood at the doorway, and his hair was slightly wet, a few strands falling down. He seemed to carry the chill from outside. 

For some reason, he looked a bit lonely and unhappy. 

"Francis, why are you back?" Ruby took off her facial mask and looked at him in surprise. 

Rosalie also looked over, and both of them felt a sense of inexplicable guilt. 

"Where's Lilian?" 

Rosalie was stunned for a moment and then said, "Didn't she go back a long time ago?" 

"Yes, she left almost an hour ago. She should be home by now. Why are you looking for her here?" 

Rosalie got up and walked towards him. She grabbed his arm and said worriedly, "You're all wet. Go inside and change your clothes quickly." 

She felt a bit anxious. Had the dummy told Francis about that matter? 

But on second thought, even if she did, it wouldn't matter. He had acquiesced to aborting that child last year. 

Would it be any different this time? 

Francis glanced at her and turned around to leave. 

Rosalie's face instantly darkened as she shouted at his back, "Frank!"
