A moment ago, she was still very depressed and angry with Tom. Later, when she received Tom's call, she seemed to be a different person. She was overjoyed.
Colton and Laylani were both startled by her extreme reaction. Colton scolded with a face on the deck, "Kaylie! What are you doing? Don't yell. What's wrong with you?"
As a woman, her mother, Laylani, saw something different. She immediately realized that her daughter really fell in love with Tom as she was so happy just because of his phone call. So she pulled Colton and gave him a look, telling Colton not to blame Kaylie.
Colton also realized this from Laylani's eyes. His expression was a little complicated.
As a father, he only had one daughter, Kaylie. He loved his daughter so much that her marriage was more important to him than his career. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found Kaylie a good husband like Martin. However, he didn't know how long it had been since he saw his daughter so happy. How couldn't he find that his daughter was genuinely happy?
Kaylie stuck out her tongue. She also realized that her reaction was a little exaggerated. She felt a little embarrassed. She quickly ran aside to take the phone, and said in a resentful tone, "Finally you call me. I thought you disappeared from the world!"
Tom's apologetic voice came from the phone. "I'm sorry. I left my phone in the company these two days. I turned it down so I missed your call."
This explanation really sounded insincere. But to Kaylie, she was still very happy to hear it. The resentment in her heart immediately disappeared. However, she snorted and said unhappily, "It's all an excuse. It's been two days, and you haven't called me at all."
Hearing her complaint, Tom had a headache. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Why did you call me?"
Kaylie stammered and didn't get to the point for a long time. Tom was a little dizzy and said directly, "You don't have to beat around the bush. If you need my help with anything, just say it. I'm available these two days."
Hearing Tom's words, Kaylie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was waiting for this sentence. So, she stopped beating around the bush and said, "Well, I have to invite guests to my home tomorrow. Can you come over and be my boyfriend?"
"What?" Tom raised his voice a lot. "You still want to do that? No, no."
Kaylie was addicted to using him as a shield. Besides, tomorrow was the engagement party of the Knights and the Gablehausers. If he was going to be Kaylie's boyfriend, this would be explosive news.
Kaylie begged, "It's just one day. Please, help me."
"You're trying to trick me. Tomorrow is your engagement party with Martin. If I were your boyfriend, I would have made big trouble." Tom said.
"It's because of the engagement party with Martin that I asked you to come over!" Kaylie started to use her persuasion skills and began to beg Tom.
Tom felt dizzy. In fact, he was not afraid of the Gablehausers. But he wanted to keep it low-key. If he appeared as Kaylie's boyfriend tomorrow, he would definitely attract everyone's attention.
"You've thought it through. I'm the son-in-law of the Scotts. My reputation in the Scotts is very bad. When it is revealed, it will be your shame." Tom hinted significantly.
Kaylie said without thinking, "Well, I don't care about that. Besides, you're divorced now. Tom, you should help me anyway. Please. As long as you promise to help me, I owe you a big favor. No matter what you ask, I'll satisfy you! Hear me clearly. I will do anything for you!"
She deliberately emphasized the word 'any', which made people full of endless fantasy.
