Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1625

“Hey… It’s already very late. Why are you still calling me? Did you only get home after you were out drinking again?” Annabeth Cates asked.

“Annabeth, I’m telling you. I bumped into my true love at the club tonight… He’s a gift from heaven… So handsome…” Paula Whittaker sounded extremely excited…

Despite being some distance away, Josh Batton could still overhear the conversation clearly.

“We’re in love… Are you envious? Say, you’ve been here in Atlantis for so long… Why haven’t you met anyone? Aren’t you embarrassed?” Paula asked.

Annabeth’s heart clenched tightly when she heard this. She seemed dumbfounded.

Annabeth didn’t expect Paula to bring this up suddenly…

She also didn’t think her lie would be exposed so soon.

Josh now paid attention to the phone conversation.

He immediately frowned a little as he looked thoughtfully at Annabeth’s face.

There was a curious look in his eyes…

Annabeth clearly said she had a boyfriend.

Why did her friend say that she didn’t have a boyfriend?

Based on how Annabeth spoke to this person, Josh could tell that this was probably her close friend…

It was impossible that a close friend wouldn’t know that Annabeth had a boyfriend.

With all these things put together, Josh suddenly understood everything.

Annabeth subconsciously lowered her phone volume. She didn’t know what to do now.

Meanwhile, Josh didn’t allow Annabeth to make her next move. Instead, he snatched her phone away. “Did you say she doesn’t have a boyfriend? Are you sure? Doesn’t she have a long-term boyfriend?” Josh asked.

“What long-term boyfriend? I used to live with her all the time. How wouldn’t I know? She only stopped renting the unit with me half a month ago. She was still single then…” Paula said.
