Stuck In His Heart novel Chapter 30

He answered so quickly that it seemed that he didn't think at all. The woman who was answering him was in a cold sweat and wondered if there was something wrong with the man's mind.

Consuela couldn't help but walk a few steps towards him. She checked the temperature of her forehead and reached out her hand to his forehead again.

She blurted out a question, "Are you insane?"

The cunning man in her eyes was not good-natured.

As soon as she touched the normal temperature, her hand was slapped down by the man with quick reaction. In a second, the skin of her fair hand immediately turned red.

She gritted her teeth and glared at the man with a long face. He could have avoided her, but he was so quick to react.

"Don't take my sudden tolerance as your chip for your insatiable greed." Richie turned on the laptop again and started his work, leaving behind the meaningful words.

Ignoring him, Consuela curled her lips and sat on the sofa. As soon as she touched the cushion, her phone rang.

The message of "mother" kept playing on the screen. Startled, Consuela almost threw her phone out of the seat. She heaved a sigh of relief. She had been so busy these days.

She almost forgot what had happened to her family. It must be her father who had talked to her that her mother didn't call her until now.

They were all giving her time to explain.

But even she herself didn't know how to explain this matter. No matter how much Consuela was forced to say, she couldn't say a word.

Her cell phone was ringing. The soothing music made the man frown. He bit his lips and said, "Hang up if you don't want to answer."

In a daze for a second, Consuela pressed the answering key. In a low voice, she called out, "Mom.".

Linda's voice came from the phone. Linda hadn't seen her for a few days, but now she sounded hoarse all of a sudden. "Consuela, please explain to me about the residence booklet."

The conversation between the two women was easily overheard by Richie. Thanks to the help of the stockaded mobile phone which was taken out from nowhere by Consuela.

Rolling her eyes, Consuela began to make up the story, pretending to be very anxious. "I'm working overtime now. I'm very busy. If my leader finds me, my salary will be deducted. That's it. I'll explain everything to you tomorrow when I come back from my day of rest."

Although the person on the other end of the line was dissatisfied with her perfunctory attitude, she still took her words.

It would be better to explain them in person rather than on the phone and let others know whether it was true or not.

After hanging up the phone, Consuela leaned back on the sofa, sighing. She opened her eyes and saw the man's face. She made eye contact with him. Her heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't bear to look at him, so she turned her head and asked, "Why do you always look at me?"

Richie was very generous to explain for her. His eyes were twinkling. "Observe the expression when you lie. If you dare to lie to me in the future, you're doomed."

Consuela rolled her eyes at the man. She felt ashamed to be gripped by such a childish man.

At the same time, her mobile phone in her hand suddenly poured into several long text messages, from her mother.

Consuela stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead. Suddenly, she felt very tired. She was like a new passenger who was walking in a desert. She didn't see the stream of grass and mountains, only the yellow sand and blazing sun on the ground. She was in despair now.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, flustered and uneasy.

She really couldn't think of any reasons to lie to them, and she didn't know what else she could do to take the residence booklet in such a hurry.
