Where on earth did he go? He hadn't come back for such a long time. Was there anything wrong? If he hadn't taken away her phone, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
She gave the phone back to the shop assistant in despair and said "thank you". Then she walked outside like a puppet with a broken line. The bookstore was right opposite the convenience store. When she returned there, she sneezed several times in her T-shirt because of the cold night.
Edward was a man of his word. Something must have happened since he didn't show up for such a long time. She squatted down and rubbed her arms. Although she was so lonely and helpless, she still begging him not to be hurt.
At this time, a pair of leather shoes appeared in her sight.
"Where on the earth are you ——?" She suddenly stood up and looked up, but didn't see the face of Edward.
"It's so late. Why are you here alone?" Chuck frowned and asked.
In order to maintain her self-esteem, she said, "I... there are too many people here. I got lost."
"Lost?" He didn't seem to believe this reason.
"Yes! It happens that the phone is not by my side." She was a little nervous, but she had to admit that she was really happy to meet someone she knew at this time.
Seeing the hope in her eyes, Chuck was stunned.
She thought for a while and asked, "by the way, do you have Edward's number? Can I make him a call by your phone?"
"I don't have his phone number." He said lightly. Seeing the stars in her eyes dimmed, he continued, "but... Maybe I know where he is."
Angela looked at him with doubt, and he said, "would you like to wait for him here or follow me to find him?"
When people choose to believe one or not, they did usually the final decision by comparison. Was the man in front of her worth her trust?
"Is there anything wrong with Edward?" She was a little nervous.
"How could I know?" His face was cold, but he answered perfunctorily.
That's right. But how could he know?
At this moment, her stomach growled and she immediately blushed.
She had dinner at around four or five o'clock today. It was normal for her to be hungry now, but when he heard it, she looked even more embarrassed!
Thirty minutes later, she finished the steaming noodles in the convenience store. He asked her, "do you want to stay here and wait for him, or follow me to find him?"
It was already twelve o'clock in the morning, but he hadn't shown up yet. She said, "I'll go with you to find him."
Hearing such an answer, he was satisfied like a fish finally hooked. When he turned around, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. But in an instant, the smile disappeared.
She followed him to a car parked on the roadside.
She saw a figure beside the car. Under the night lamp, she felt a little familiar, suddenly her heart was hit hard.
Was it...
Seeing that she suddenly stopped, he turned around and asked, "what's wrong?"
Her face was a little pale and she shook her head with a faint smile.
