He grabbed the hem of his clothes and raised his eyes slightly to look at me. "I'm not as good as those city folks, but I work very hard too. I plowed my family’s lands all by myself."
Frank looked at me proudly. In the field, he was king.
I sighed. I could not eat anymore, so I passed the bowl out. "I can’t eat anymore."
"You only ate a little. Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry anymore." I shook my head. I just mentioned Theo, and now I was thinking about him.
He must be looking for me along with Marius and the others again.
Would they find me this time?
I looked at Frank outside the window and asked him, "Do you have a phone or a mobile phone?"
"Yes, I have a mobile phone." After saying that, he took out a mobile phone from his pocket and shook it in front of my eyes. "But our place is too far out and there’s often no signal, so it makes no difference if you have one or not. You just get to play some games at night when you’re free.”
My hope that had been ignited was doused with a bucket of water again. I thought that while it made sense that the signal must be poor in such a remote place, there may be a better signal somewhere…
"My name is Frank Fulmer. What's your name?"
"Wanda Lane."
"As expected of a person from the city. Your name sounds really nice," Frank murmured outside.
I looked outside, my eyes shimmering slightly as I smiled. "Frank, will you let me go?"
"I can’t. If my mother finds out, she’ll definitely beat me. She bought you back at a huge price. Our family can't lose that money."
