Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1453

In fact, he had called her many times in the past few days and had wanted to tell her about it. Not only could he not get in touch with her, but all his texts and calls also seemed to have sunk into the sea. All of a sudden, Raynee's call came charging for him. Wyatt was stunned for three seconds before he swiped on the answer button and hurriedly sorted out his thoughts. Before he could speak, Raynee's urgent voice came blasting through the speaker.

"Wyatt, is that you? My bag was stolen a few days ago, and I lost my mobile phone as well as all my cards. It was Christmas, and all the stores were closed for the holiday. I wanted to give you a call, but I couldn't remember your number. I was so anxious!"

His mouth remaining wide open, Wyatt was obviously distracted by her words.

What a coincidence! Did it mean she had yet received the messages from him suggesting to break up or call him back once she was free?

From her tone, could she not have been the one calling over back when Waverly had accidentally picked up the phone?

The confused thought flitted through Wyatt's mind before the answering voice came sounding in his ear.

"I got a temporary card a few days ago. I could barely remember your number, so I called you. It was most probably evening at your place, but you didn't pick up the phone. I thought I made a mistake! It's so troublesome out here for me to obtain a temporary card. I finally received it today, so I decided to call you once I installed it into my phone."

Her machine-gun- like voice came blasting against his eardrums. Wyatt couldn't help but frown. It was most probably the first time she had been so talkative in the past few years!

Vaguely, Wyatt could sense that it was too coincidental. Raynee's non-stop talking caused him to feel that something was amiss. Wanting to express his concern, he found it inappropriate after giving it a second thought as it was a stark shift away from the topic. After a brief pause, he went straight to the point. Surprisingly, he didn't feel as embarrassed or conflicted as he had expected and was surprisingly calm.

"Raynee, I have something to tell you..."

Was them being together for too long that led to their relationship turning dull and boring? As he thought so, Wyatt wondered if the person on the other end of the line felt the same?

Their bond through years of relationship was weak and fragile right then.

"Let's..." Break up!

As soon as Wyatt's voice rang out, the volume over the phone raised to a high pitch. "Wyatt, I know you care about me. I'm fine. It's just that I lost my stuff and quite some weight! It's fine. I don't have to work out to lose weight anymore!"

"That's good that you're fine, but as for what I want to say..." "It's not that!" He had yet to get the words out of his mouth.

"By the way, Wyatt, I really like the Christmas bag you gave me. It's a limited edition, isn't it? Thank you! I know you treat me well, but in fact, I prefer gray-blue over pastel. You should consider it the next time you buy me anything."

"Raynee..."

"Wyatt, time's up, I'll have to hang up! Let's talk next time! Someone's calling for me! There's a minor competition today, I have to get ready!"

"I love you. Bye!"

Several times over, he was either interrupted by Raynee or had his voice covered, not to mention how he didn't even get
