Chapter 382 Alimony
Judging from her voice, the female seemed to be around Whitney’s age. Since she was surprised to hear a female voice coming from the other side of the phone, Whitney’s head went blank as she instantly hung up the call.
Right after that, tears started rolling down her cheeks. She broke down and sobbed like a child as she covered her mouth with her hands.
She didn’t know how she should face him after putting him through so much, and she never thought that he’d eventually meet someone else after so many years. Her eyes were filled with sorrow as she bit her lips and whimpered. Alas, she had brought this upon herself!
Meanwhile, in the Lane Family, Emily was puzzled as she looked at Douglas’ phone. His phone had been set to block calls from unknown numbers. However, the caller’s number wasn’t saved, but the call could still go through.
After Douglas came out of the bathroom, he saw Emily holding his phone. He dried his hair and asked, “What’s wrong?”
When she heard that, Emily pulled her gaze away from the phone and responded, “Someone called you just now, but the number wasn’t saved in your contacts. The call ended after I answered the phone. It just seemed odd.”
Douglas furrowed his brows when he heard that the number wasn’t in his contacts, but he subsequently put on a facade and remained calm.
When he looked at the phone number, his gaze darkened. “Don’t worry about it. It’s just someone I’ve known from before.”
He left the phone on the bed after that.
Emily nodded and didn’t probe further. She took his towel from him and dried his wet hair while saying gently, “You should blow dry your hair. Otherwise, you’d get a headache if you sleep with damp hair.”
Douglas merely nodded.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
