Chapter 686
Waiting was always the longest and most agonizing part.
Soon, another three days passed
Yes.
Three whole days.
Dora and Fiona could no longer sit still.
It had been a full six days since they called Christian’s wife.
Yet Stella was still throwing her weight around at the Wright estate.
She was still meeting Felix every day, and there was no sign that Christian’s wife had struck back at her at all.
Fiona said, “Mom, what exactly is going on? Why hasn’t Christian’s wife come yet?”
They had said three days at most.
Another three days had passed since then. Why still hadn’t she come?
Dora’s expression had gone from smug satisfaction at first to deep anxiety now.
When she heard Fiona ask this, her face darkened. “I want to know why she hasn’t come too.”
“Judging by how Christian has been protecting Stella, she should be considered a serious rival. How could Christian’s wife n come deal with her personally?”
Dora spoke irritably.
Damn it.
So much time had passed. Was Christian’s wife really not anxious at all?
Fiona said, “Why don’t you call Christian’s wife again?”
Dora said nothing.
Call her.
Of course she had to call.
They could no longer sit still. Naturally, they wanted to know what was going on with Christian’s wife
“All right. I’ll call and ask.”
Originally, Dora had thought that with Christian’s wite, all they needed to do was call and notty her
Calling again to ask about something like this would be awkward no matter how they phrased it
But now, Dora could not care about that anymore
She only wanted to know why Christian’s wife had not come yet
They had been waiting for her to come and deal with Stella
The call connected quickly, and Christian’s wife’s voice came through “Hello”
“Mrs. Christian, it’s me. I called you six days ago.”
Dota tried to keep her tone as gentle as possible
Christian’s wife said, “What is it?”
Compared with Dora’s politeness, the woman’s voice over the phone sounded especially cold.
It was the kind of coldness that made people keep their distance, as if her marriage really had fallen apart.
Hearing that tone, Dora felt slightly more at ease.
It seemed Christian had indeed been affected by Stella.
As for why his wife had not come to deal with Stella yet…
Dora asked, “Forgive me for asking, but Mrs. Christian, why haven’t you come to Harbor City yet?”
As she asked this, Dora’s tone became cautious.
The moment she asked the question, the pressure over the phone clearly grew heavier than before.
Because of that clear pressure, Dora’s palm started to sweat.
Even her voice became stilted. “I-I’m sorry, Mrs. Christian. I… I only…”
“What does that have to do with you?”
Dora said nothing.
Huh?
Of course it had nothing to do with her.
But what did she mean by that?
Before Dora could react, Christian’s wife hung up directly.
Listening to the beeping on the other end, Dora froze complétely.
