He did tell her he would be on a business trip for two days, so she should know that he was returning today. But will she really come to welcome me? Ethan took out his phone and found her number.

Before he could make the call, Alice took her phone out, obviously trying to call someone. Ethan stopped. If she’s here for me, she’ll be calling me. A hint of anticipation flared in Ethan’s heart. He saw her making the call, but his phone didn’t ring. Obviously, she wasn’t calling him. She wasn’t here for him.

Ethan noticed what she was going to do and his eyes flickered, but he didn’t move away. If she turned around now, she could see him. He wanted to see her reaction when she saw him, but then someone called her as she was turning. It was from Apollo.
