President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 216

I hesitated for a moment, but I picked it up.

“Hello.” I said first.

There was silence over the phone. No one spoke.

There was not even a sound.

“Hello?” I said again.

No one spoke.

I thought he called the wrong number so I hung up immediately.

I was still waiting for Sean on the sofa that night.

I was disappointed when I woke up on the sofa and saw that the sun outside the window had risen completely and it was nine o’clock.

Sean’s slippers were still at the door as they were yesterday.

It proved that he had not come back.

I didn’t even have a missed call on my cell phone.

Where did he go? If he didn’t come back before, he would at least send me a text message.

I called Sean.

No one answered.

I was worried and wanted to call Daisy, but I was afraid she would lose her temper. If Sean did have an enemy, she would be involved.

All day I hesitated to call Sean again.

Because of my disfigurement, I even began to wonder if Sean didn’t like me.

I was depressed that day.

But Sean was back at nine o’clock in the evening.

“You’re back.” I stood in the living room.

When I saw Sean, I was a little overwhelmed.

There were some snowflakes on the shoulders of his black clothes. I said, “is it snowing outside?”

“Yes.”

Sean changed his shoes and walked in.

I thought he would go upstairs again, but I didn’t expect him to come up to me and hug me. “Sorry, I didn’t contact you yesterday.”

This time I could smell that he had a faint smell of perfume besides cigarette smoke.

I felt upset for some reason.

I couldn’t help but say, “can you give me Cindy’s number?”

“She?”

Sean seemed surprised.

He looked down at me. His black eyes were a little secretive.

“Yes.” In fact, to some extent, I wanted to see Sean’s reaction.

Sure enough, he was surprised.

I explained, “last time my grandma was ill and Carter Family didn’t want to pay, so I sold the house. It happened that the buyer was her. Now my grandma died, and that’s the only thing she left me. I want to buy it back.”

“I see.” Sean seemed relieved. “I’ll tell her for you.”

“I will say it myself.”

I said decisively.

I really wanted to buy back the house so I wanted to find Cindy. By the way, I’d like to ask about her and Sean.

I was afraid Sean was lying to me.

Sean hesitated and finally found a number in his cell phone for me.

As soon as I wrote down the number, the screen of my mobile phone lit up.

It was Daisy.

“Hello.”

“June, June, where are you? Come and help me!”
