Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 328

It was painfully obvious. Elara had blocked him and was deliberately ignoring his messages.

After finishing up the remainder of his paperwork, Julian opened his phone contacts to call Elara. Just before hitting dial, he suddenly realized—if Elara had gone so far as to block him on WeChat, would she even answer his call?

Most likely, she wouldn't.

Having deduced the answer himself, Julian swiftly exited the dialing screen. He grabbed the landline on his desk and dialed Elara's number instead.

The call went through flawlessly, but it rang out unanswered.

It disconnected automatically. He dialed again. Disconnected. Dialed again...

He repeated this maddening cycle several times. On the fourth attempt, Elara finally picked up, but the voice coming through the receiver didn't belong to her.

"Hello."

The soft, sweet voice of a little girl acted like a magic spell, piercing through the signal and freezing Julian entirely in his chair.

"My mommy went to the bathroom, so she can't answer the phone right now!"

Melody informed the caller with absolute politeness. "You'll have to call back later."

The span of four missed calls had been the exact duration of Melody's internal debate.

If Julian had only called once or twice, she would have ignored it completely.

But the same number calling three times in a row made her worry it might be something important. She didn't want Elara to miss it, so she debated answering, but right as she made up her mind, the phone had disconnected again.

So, on the fourth ring, Melody answered decisively.

Hearing his daughter's voice, it didn't take a genius for Julian to deduce exactly why the first three calls had been ignored.

At the same time, he knew that now the polite explanation was over, Melody was about to hang up.

So, the instant she finished her sentence, Julian snapped violently out of his daze and desperately called out to her. "Wait!"

"Melody, it's Daddy!"
