Chapter 480 An Unusual Jonathan


At last, Anastasia was assisted out of her car. Nobody knew about their secret conversation, nor the truth about the "accident".

The crowd returned to the manor, while Dawn continued waiting further down the road. She repeatedly checked the time and confirmed that there was no activity at the end of the road. "I guess it's done!"

Lizzie should have already taken Rose in. Otherwise, the latter would've arrived by now. It was also about time Evan woke up as well. Indeed, he had.

When he awoke, the room was in darkness. He searched for his phone on the nightlight and wanted to check the time but couldn't find it.

As such, he quickly turned on the light and saw his phone, with the charger, on the ground. He remembered he had plugged it in before sleep...

Evan initially frowned but soon relaxed his brows. Perhaps he had accidentally knocked his phone over amid his deep sleep.

Despite several attempts, it remained futile. Recalling the fight they had this morning, he frowned. "She must be mad at me," he thought.

He knew she wanted to proceed with the wedding. Despite knowing he was only marrying her out of responsibility, he still felt repelled by it. After dialing her number a few times, he gave up.
