Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 249

Theodore stood frozen for a moment before his eyes bulged in disbelief. There were only two reasons for a dead line—either she had ditched the number, leaving it unassigned, or worse, she had blocked him.

Theodore was leaning toward the second explanation. Changing her phone number just because of one call from a stranger? That was overkill unless she was on the run from the mob or something. No way someone would freak out like that for no good reason.

He thought he had cracked the case, so he ended the call on Augustus' phone.

Augustus was giving him the stink eye. "Theodore, are you done with your call? Can I get my phone back now? It's been three days since I've even touched it."

Without a word, Theodore rolled his eyes and chucked the phone back to Augustus.

He pulled out his own phone. He would not have hogged Augustus' phone if he was not worried about the lady ignoring calls from an unknown number!

He punched in the number he knew by heart and waited for the woman to pick up.

Bingo, the call went through!

A grin broke out on Theodore's face, but before he could get a word out, that all-too-familiar message hit him, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service."

The smile on Theodore's face turned to stone.

No way. She actually changed her number because of one measly call from a stranger.

Crushed, Theodore shoved his phone into his pocket and buried his head in his hands.

Theodore, the guy who never missed a beat, had just face-planted big time, thanks to his own sister.
