I thought of the discussion I did not manage to finish with Marius just now while I was feeding the children and sighed again…
After I was done taking care of the children, I went out and eat. Marius never came out again after going into his room. I could only leave it be.
Once done with dinner, I cleaned things up and went back into the room again. Seeing the children’s cute appearance, I gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up at dawn, Marius had already left. My intention of speaking with him fell through again.
All of a sudden, my phone rang. Realizing it was Delia, I was somewhat baffled.
Although I did not know the purpose of Delia's call, I still chose to answer it.
“Are you so free to give me a call, Miss Owens? My time is precious. I have no time to waste on you,” I said angrily.
Delia did not get angry when she heard what I said. Instead, a low chuckle sounded from the receiver. “I'm at Cafe Freya right now. I’d like to sincerely invite President Lane over to have a cup of coffee together, but I wonder if you’ll give me the chance to?”
I frowned when I heard Delia's words. I really did not understand what sentiment drove his woman to call me.
“Miss Owens, did you not hear me? I was very clear just now. I don't have time to waste on you.”
The voice on the other end of the call also cooled as Delia sneered. “I'll give you half an hour. Tardiness is not acceptable. Let me just remind you that if you really don't show up, you’ll probably regret it for the rest of your life. So, you’d better decide if you’re going to come or not.”
Delia hung up the call after she said all that, leaving me stunned in place.
I put down the phone, still not understanding Delia’s purpose for calling me.
Yet, Delia’s words from before stuck with me. Just what gave her the confidence to say something like that? I would regret it for the rest of my life?
