Chapter 629 The Creepy Carl
A satisfied Toby replied, “I want you to change the time slightly to 8:00PM.”
I can look for Sonia at 6:00PM and bring her out for dinner. Then, we’ll watch the movie at 8:00PM, which means that we’ll be done at about 10:00PM. After that, I’ll send her back to Bayside Residence and it’ll almost be midnight when we arrive there. She should allow me to stay there for the night given how late it would be, right? His eyes flickered as he came up with a plan in his heart.
However, Tom didn’t know about the plan and didn’t feel anything suspicious about changing the time, so he nodded. “I’ll get it done, President Fuller.”
Toby returned the receiver to his landline before picking up his phone again to send a text to Sonia: ‘I’ll come and pick you up at 6:00PM before we have dinner together. I heard that there is a new French restaurant in Berthull and it sounds quite delicious.’
Sonia giggled and replied: ‘Alright.’
After typing the text, she clicked on the send button.
However, the moment she sent the text, she received a phone call.
When Sonia saw who the caller was, shock immediately filled her face. It’s from Carl.
Ever since Carl’s second personality occupied his body and he left Seafield for Westsanshire, he had never contacted her and neither did she.
She didn’t know how to interact with him afterward since she had no understanding of his second personality at all. The only thing she knew was that he wasn’t a good person.
She resented interacting with such a person, so she always tried not to think about him.
However, he unexpectedly called her one month later.
Should I answer his call or not?
Looking at the name vibrating on the screen, Sonia bit her lower lip while her heart was full of doubts.
After all, she didn’t know how to interact with the other personality, so she wouldn’t know what to say later.
Even so, after a moment of hesitation, Sonia finally decided to answer the call. What if the person calling me isn’t his second personality? Instead, it’s actually Carl who finally regained control of his body?
While holding onto that hope, she took a deep breath and clicked on the green button to answer, “Carl.”
She tentatively uttered his name with a hint of caution in her voice.
After two seconds of silence on the other end, a man’s creepy voice was heard instead. “Sonia, I’m Lucius Hayes. Compared to Carl, I like this name even more.”
In short, he didn’t wish to inherit the name that the idiot used for more than 20 years.
As for the name ‘Lucius’, it perfectly differentiated him from that idiotic Carl.
Listening to the tone of his voice, Sonia felt a surge of disappointment from her darkened heart as her expression slightly changed. Looks like my hopes are for nothing. Carl hasn’t woken up to regain control of his body. The person calling me now is his second personality.
This made her really upset, so she pursed her red lips and asked indifferently, “What can I help you with, Mr. Hayes?”
On the other end, Carl—or to be precise, Lucius was now standing in front of the French windows.
Hearing how Sonia had addressed him, he squinted his eyes as his expressions became a little gloomy. “Sonia, you were always so intimate when you called Carl. Why are you addressing me like I’m a stranger?”
She answered flatly, “It’s simple because you are not Carl.”
That was why she couldn’t bring herself to treat Lucius with the same kind of attitude she used to treat Carl with before.
Lucius grunted. “That’s really saddening, Sonia. Although I’m indeed not Carl, I’m also born in his body, so you can also treat me the same way, though.”
