I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow novel Chapter 34

As soon as the lift reached the ground floor, the doors opened with a soft beep.

"See you tomorrow, Mr. President," Ethan said with a slight nod of his head. He was about to step out of the elevator when Chow said stiffly to him. "Stop thinking nonsense. She will never be the reason for my happiness. You must be out of your mind!"

Ethan was rather speechless and taken aback when he heard Chow chiding him in such a weird and informal way.

...

"Yes, Mr. President. I won't think nonsense anymore," Ethan said with another nod before finally leaving.

Chow snorted coldly as he watched the lift doors close. He let out another scoff. "Nonsense."

He just wanted to sleep early tonight. How could Ethan think that he wanted to go back to see Vivian?

What nonsense!

Beep!

The lift soon arrived at the underground parking lot. Chow hurried to his car with a dark look on his face, not realising that he was walking a lot faster than usual.

...

Celine stood by the window, looking at the bright lights outside her window. She was still holding onto her phone tightly, waiting for it to ring.

But the call never came.

It had been two days.

Chow still hadn't contacted her since she was chauffered to work from the Howard Mansion after that rainy night.

This wasn't even the first time something like this had happened.

In actuality, since becoming a couple with Chow nearly three years ago, he had never taken the initiative to contact her.

Whether it was dining together, going out on dates, or spending the night, she was the one who made the first step each time. Sometimes, she even had to schedule her dates with Chow through Ethan, his assistant.

Celine always thought that Chow never treated her as a proper girlfriend.

Still, it shouldn't matter too much. She had used that as an excuse to make him her boyfriend, so she wasn't going to give up so easily.

Once she got the title of 'Mrs. Howard', Chow would naturally be hers anyway.

Celine stared at the phone in her hands and thought for a long time. Finally, she dialled Chow's number.

Chow's caller ringtone immediately sounded in her ears. She left the window and paced slowly about in her room.

The ringtone played for a long while before Chow finally picked up. His voice sounded rather gruff and impatient. "Hello? What's the matter, why are you calling so late at night?"

Celine bit down heavily on her lower lip and forced herself to ignore his cold attitude. "What? Must there be a reason for a girlfriend to call her boyfriend?"

Chow didn't laugh it off or reply with anything sweet as she had expected. On the contrary, he sounded even more impatient than before. "If there's nothing you want from me, I'm hanging up. I'm tired and I just want to go home as soon as I can."

It was only then that Celine realised Chow must be driving.

He wanted to go home as soon as he could?

Did he want to go back to be with Vivian?

Celine's heart dropped. Technically, Vivian was Chow's sister. Chow had also expressed more than once that he hated Vivian with all his guts.

However, deep in her heart, it felt as if there was actually something more to what was shown to her. She felt rather uneasy about Vivian. It was as if she should perhaps be warier of her.

...

"Are you on the way home? Why don't you come over? I miss you so much. And if you come over, I can give you a massage to ease your tiredness."

Celine had purposely chosen a place just a stone's throw away from the Howard Mansion for nights like these.

However, Chow rejected her without hesitation. "Forget it, I'll just go back to shower and get some sleep. That's about it."

As soon as Chow finished speaking, he hung up at once.

"Hello? Hello!" Celine anxiously shouted into the phone, but she heard nothing else after that.

She glanced at the phone screen that had lighted up with the call-ended notification and felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Celine finally couldn't hold back her anger any longer. She kicked at the sofa next to her with all her might but accidentally hit the metal edge instead. An intense wave of pain immediately started to spread from her toes.

Celine cried out in pain. She quickly sat on the couch and kicked off her slippers to examine her toes. "F*ck, even the stupid sofa is against me!"

After cursing at the sofa, Celine started flinging the cushions onto the floor as well.

All of a sudden, a bell went off in her head.

Celine bit her lips tightly, held her phone in her hands, and walked out of the room.
