She accepted the video chat. On the screen, she saw Ernest’s handsome face.
However, it was a bit dark around him, so she couldn’t see anything else. Obviously, he hadn’t returned to his car, but she guessed that he must be close.
Florence asked nervously, “Why do you want to have a video chat with me now?” Wasn’t he afraid that he would be noticed?
Ernest stared at Florence so deeply as if his gaze could almost go through the screen and fall on her.
He answered, “I want to let you see if I’m safe.”
Florence was stunned, blushing right away.
She did ask about his status, but he directly invited her to have the video chat with him to confirm. That was way too straightforward.
She felt so sweet as if her heart was fulfilled with honey.
Florence said in a low voice, “I was just checking. If it’s not convenient for you, just hang it up.”
“Nope. It’s convenient.”
Ernest pressed his lips into a smile. The scene on the screen shook a bit, seemingly that he was walking.
Florence faintly saw some scenery behind him - all trees. It seemed that he was still in the forest.
But she didn’t know which area he was in.
She asked, “Where are you now? How did you come here?”
She was a bit familiar with the building around the villa. Since their villas were on the hillside, there were a lot of woods and forests around. Their yards were also covered with trees, and the bodyguards were on patrol from time to time.
If Ernest sneaked in, he wouldn’t be so bold to walk while calling on the phone. Otherwise, he would be found long ago.
Ernest pressed his thin lips. Instead of answering, he turned around his camera and let Florence take a look at the road ahead.
He said, “I’ll soon arrive at the roadside.”
Outside the dark forest, Florence could see a car parked under the dimmed yell light from the street lamp.
The hillside belonged to the Fraser family completely. Only the family members or relatives could come back and forth. The car that appeared at this time over there should only be Ernest’s car.
Seeing that he was approaching the car, Florence finally felt relieved.
“Be careful on the way back. I’m not holding you up then.” Florence was about to hang up. After all, if he drove while answering the video call, it would be quite dangerous.
Ernest paused and looked at Florence on the screen with a faint smile.
He whispered, “You haven’t seen me arrive at my hotel room safely. Can you rest assured?”
Since he got in the car, he could send her a message to inform her after arriving at the hotel. That would be all. Florence wondered why she would not rest assured.
When she was about to ask, Ernest added, “I’ll hang up after arriving.”
He made his decision directly.
Florence couldn’t tab the button to hang up anymore. Her mind was in a mess, but she felt so sweet. She wondered if Ernest wanted to continue the video call with her.
He had just left, but he was missing her already, wasn’t he?
As he spoke, Ernest reached his car.
Timothy immediately got off and opened the rear door for him. In a hurry, he asked, “Mr. Hawkins, why did you come out so soon? Haven’t you met Ms. Fraser yet?”
Upon hearing it, Florence blushed.
She recalled that they almost had made love in her room. If it weren’t that Stanford suddenly came over, Ernest wouldn’t have left so quickly.
However, that was such an embarrassing thing. She had never expected that Timothy would know.
