I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 84

Elara was always busy at the hospital, and since the restaurant was near Stellaris Corp, Sienna arrived early and waited at their table.

On her phone, a message from Jorrod popped up.

Jorrod: [Are you still sore?]

Jorrod: [I'm sorry, Darling. I couldn't control myself.]

Jorrod: [I bought some topical ointment for the bruising. Let me put it on you when you get home, okay?]

Sienna: [Didn't I tell you not to leave the apartment?]

Jorrod: [I didn't. I ordered delivery.]

Sienna stared at the screen for a few seconds, her expression blank, gently biting her lower lip.

Receiving no response, the other side texted again: [Darling?]

Sienna tapped the screen.

[I'm fine. Keep it for yourself.]

Jorrod: [Then what time are you coming home? I made dinner. It's your favorite.]

Sienna hadn't planned on replying further, but she was afraid the man would starve himself waiting for her.

Sienna: [Eat by yourself. I'm having dinner out with a friend.]

Sienna: [Also, go to sleep early. Don't wait up, I'm not coming home tonight.]

Sienna had no idea.

The moment that message was sent, the man on the other end panicked.

The harsh screen light reflected in his dark, bottomless pupils, making his eyes tremble violently.

The man's phone call came through immediately.

The device vibrated relentlessly against the table.

Right at that moment, the waitress stepped up, holding the menu with both hands resting on the edge of the table.

"Hold on a second." Sienna answered the call, and the waitress knowingly stepped back to give the customer privacy.

On the line, Jorrod's voice was frantic and clipped, laced with a distinct tremor as he spoke at rapid speed.

"I... I'm sorry, Darling. Are you mad at me?"
