On the other end, Colbert walked out of the bathroom in his robe and approached the table. He was preparing to answer the call when the ringing stopped abruptly.
He glanced at the phone and was surprised to see a missed call from Eudora.
A slight curve appeared in his handsome eyes, and a subtle smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
He gazed at the missed call notification in the call log, remained silent for a few seconds, and dialed back.
"Beep, beep..."
"Hello?"
Eudora answered the call just as the phone rang.
Colbert's expression froze, his smile restrained, and he continued to ask in a deep voice, "Calling in the middle of the night, is there something you need?"
Eudora hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Um..."
As expected!
She had guessed it right.
She even doubted if she was a mind reader. How else could she understand him so well?
Eudora touched her nose awkwardly, and her hands continued to pick at her nails anxiously. She muttered, "Uh... Nothing. I just..."
"Just what?"
Her mind raced in an instant but came up blank.
In the end, Eudora simply replied, "Wrong number."
Colbert remained silent, and his expression turned particularly grim.
He held the phone to his ear with his graceful hands and deliberately stayed silent for a few seconds, seemingly waiting for the woman on the other end to find a topic.
