Thomas' heart began to race as he saw Elisa's name on his caller ID.
He was contemplating coming clean with her.
Julia noticed that Thomas was frozen on the spot, his phone in his hand. "Thomas, what's wrong? Why aren't you answering?" she asked.
Thomas took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Wickam, it's Elisa on the phone."
Thomas had been upfront with Julia about his plans since he met her at Wickam Manor.
When she realized that Elisa was the one calling, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she glared at him.
"Why are you telling me this? You two are both morons! Do you think Elisa wouldn't figure out what you're up to?"
Julia placed her hands on her chest, feeling an uneasy weight pressing down on her.
She had thought of a perfect plan to reunite them.
And this was the plan that they went with.
One just sits back and does nothing, while the other comes up with terrible ideas.
Thomas hung his head in shame, feeling guilty for his foolish plan.
At the same time, he became worried about what Julia had warned him about.
If Elisa had already figured out his plans, wouldn't he be making a fool of himself by acting like this?
'Bang! Bang!'
Julia banged her walking stick on the floor twice.
Thomas' eyes widened in surprise as he heard the noise.
Julia glared at him with a scowl. "Why haven't you answered the phone yet? Do you need her to call you again?"
Thomas shook his head. "No. Of course not."
He immediately accepted the call.
Elisa was about to give up when she heard Thomas' voice on the other end of the line.
"Ms. Bennett."
