Follow Me novel Chapter 60

Sadie did not know that Otto went to find Libby. When she received her call again, she was already in another city.

She had transferred to another school, the arrangement should have been handled by Khalid, as she had thanked Khalid in her text message.

She had changed her phone number and sent her a few voice recordings. There were also two evidences that the person had paid Dean Esme, she told her to find Tomas Evans.

After putting the evidence into safekeeping, Sadie looked at the time, found Tomas’s number and called.

The call rang for a long time before it was finally connected to the other side. Tomas’s smiling voice came through, deep and soft. “Sadie, why have you suddenly remembered to call me?”

“I miss you,” Sadie joked, opening the door and went into the balcony.

She had been planning how to investigate about her identity these few days, but she had never thought of him.

If Libby had not reminded her, she almost forgot that Tomas was always very caring towards them.

“I’m still outstation, I would be back around Tuesday and I’ll call you then.” Tomas smiled again, “I heard from Libby that she transferred, why?”

“Something happened, you must have been out of the city these days, the welfare house was closed down.”

Sadie’s tone dimmed as she took in a long deep breath, “Tomas, did you have a crush on my sister?”

Tomas’s coughing noise came through. After a while, he switched the topic cleverly. “Send me her address, who knows that I might be near her new school.”

Sadie laughed and agreed. After she hung up the call, she sent him the address of Libby’s new school.

When she returned into the room, it was already nine o’clock at night.

Ted did not call her and neither did Julian. This realisation was making her very happy indeed.

Opening the app for English learning, she put her headphones on as she did a spelling test on the terms.

When she was done, she compared her answers, and she began to plan her studies in satisfaction. There had been too many messy events, and she had not been attending to her lessons properly. This attitude was certainly not the way to go.

She could not remember who, but someone had once told her, “You have to work hard to get what you want”. She always remembered it.

Only those that she had obtained through her hard work would not be broken easily by the others.

She was busy until ten at night, when Daisy returned from outside and brought some grilled snacks and some beer, asking if she would like to have some.

“No thanks, I have been so heaty that I have a sore throat recently.” Sadie closed her computer and a call came in. Seeing that it was Julian’s number, her brows furrowed as she picked up unwillingly.

He had said that he would be on a business trip for a long time, why did he come back so suddenly?

“Come down,” the raspy voice came in through the electromagnetic waves, seemed that it was a little tired. Sadie turned and took a look at Daisy, as she unwillingly agreed. She hung up and began packing her bag.

“I have an activity on Sunday, I’ll call you then.” Daisy did not ask where she was going, as she explained blurrily eating her kebabs.

“Alright,” Sadie patted her shoulder, opened the door and went out, creeping down the stairs.

Julian’s car was parked nearby, the black body of the car hidden in the shadows. He did not even switch on the car lights, if she did not have sharper eyes she would not have been able to find it.

She opened the door and got onto the backseat, his arm immediately came over. She smelt the clean scent on his body.

Sadie turned slightly and tried to avoid his touch. Her forehead rubbed against his chin and she felt an abnormal heat, as she could not help but frowned. “Are you sick?”

Julian did not speak but only held onto her, his chin landing on her shoulder as he ordered lightly for Ted to start driving.

His body was so heavy and for its weight to be put on her, she almost could not breathe.
