Chapter 1861
Darcie's expression eased, “Don't say things like that. Just talk to me before making any decisions next time. Don't take matters into your own hands. I know you have good intentions, but what you did might end up causing trouble for Jaylene.”
The man responded, "I understand.”
Darcie was about to say something more when the door suddenly pushed open, startling her. Jaylene rushed in and said, "Mom, Trevor is safe!"
Darcie glowered at her, "Where are your manners? How could you barge in here without knocking?”
Jaylene apologized but still felt very happy. She walked over to hold Darcie's hand and said excitedly, "Trevor wasn't in the private plane. He took a commercial flight back instead. I knew that such bad things would never happen to him.”
She paused momentarily before asking, "Mom, why are you not surprised?"
Darcie said helplessly, "Your dad called and told me about it already.
"Why didn't you tell me? I've been crying for so long,”
Jaylene complained as she glanced at Darcie’s phone. *Mom, who are you talking to on the phone?’ she asked curiously.
Darcie remained calm as she said flatly, “An old classmate.”
As soon as she said that, the person on the other end said,”Hey, Jaylene.”
Jaylene was taken aback. That man's voice carried an
indescribable emotion, making her feel strangely uneasy.
However, she politely responded anyway, “Hello, mister."
That man paused for a moment, and his breathing became heavier. He did not speak for some time.
Jaylene asked after the silence, ‘Mom, what is your classmate's last name? How should I address him?”
Darcie did not answer that question but said, "Go downstairs and tell Sandra to prepare some dishes that Trevor likes. They're coming back in a while to have dinner with us.”
