Chapter 1528
Queenie had forgotten that this was the other phone she had at home and was not the phone Nigel had given her.
She was exposed by her own wallpaper.
Slowly picking up the phone, she tried to hide it behind her body…
Then, Nigel’s face came extremely close to hers. “I think you like more than just his acting!”
Queenie felt wronged. How could she possibly have known she would get to know him in such a short amount of time? Also, how could she have known that he and Julian were friends, which was why she had forgotten to change the wallpaper on her phone?
“I’ll change it. I’m changing it now.” After saying that, she took out her phone and changed the wallpaper to her self–portrait in front of him. Then, she showed it to him while saying, “Here. I changed it. Do you think this picture looks good?”
At that point, Nigel was even more sure of one thing. Julian is not allowed to show up before me for the time being.
Suddenly, Queenie’s phone rang. She looked at it and saw that it was her mother calling, so she said to him, “It’s my mom. Excuse me.”
Once she finished speaking, she took her phone and went to the balcony to pick up the call. “Hi, Mom.”
“Queenie, are you staying at Nigel’s home?” A questioning tone sounded from the other end of the call. It was Bonnie.
Frowning, she answered, “I’m not telling you anything.”
“I think you are. You’re desperate to sleep with him so that you can win his heart, am I right?”
“I’m not you, so I don’t need to use your methods to win a man’s heart,” Queenie replied flatly.
“Queenie, come home! I know I was wrong and I shouldn’t have made you angry. It was all my fault.” Bonnie’s tone suddenly turned pitiful.
“Bonnie, cut the act. You’re such a hypocrite. I will never—”
“Queenie, what are you talking about?” Maggie’s stern voice sounded from the phone.
Stunned for a few seconds, Queenie suddenly realized what had happened. Bonnie must have pressed on the loudspeaker and deliberately let her mother hear her last sentence.
“Queenie, Mom is really worried about you.”
After taking a deep breath, Queenie tried to persuade her mother again, “Mom, I promise, nothing will happen. Just trust me.”
“Queenie Silverstein, if you don’t come home tonight, don’t blame me for wanting to cut ties with you!” With that, Maggie hung up.
In the meantime, Bonnie was smiling triumphantly in the Silversteins‘ living room. A night with Nigel? Dream on, Queenie!
While Queenie stood on the balcony, she thought she had underestimated Bonnie’s schemes.
Even though she had left home, her sister still had to make things difficult for her.
Standing on the balcony, she closed her eyes and thought about how she was always the obedient daughter. Ever since she was young, she would go with her parents‘ decisions and never disobeyed them. However, she decided that tonight would be the first time to break that streak.
She was going to stay at Nigel’s home tonight, not for anything else, but to prove to her parents that she was a grown–up now and was perfectly capable of making her own decisions.
