A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 294 Scandal

Sierra glanced around and even lifted her hand to feel the air. She didn't sense any warmth, so she looked at him strangely.

After struggling to swipe at the screen for what felt like ages, he finally managed to answer in a voice laced with irritation. "Hello? Who is this?"

The person on the other end seemed caught off guard by his annoyed tone. There was a brief silence before a soft voice spoke. "Douglas, did I wake you?"

At that familiar voice, Douglas' eyes snapped open. He forced himself to sit up, bringing the phone closer to his face. "Melody? I thought it was some prank call."
