The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 178

Chapter 177

I looked away from my mother and checked my phone screen with a frown.

Eros?

My chest tightened in anger as I contemplated if I should answer the call or not. My fingers hovered over the screen.

“Your phone keeps ringing.” Lord Shevek said. “Won’t you pick?”

I sighed. Why was Eros calling me now? It’s been hours since I last called his line, and Susie picked. Why didn’t he called me earlier to explain the situation? Why now when I’m frustrated with everything, coupled with the corset that’s trying to snuff the breath out of me?

I finally answered the call, and pressed the phone to my ear.

“Hello? I said in a soft whisper.

But Alas, it wasn’t Eros who answered.

“Hello Eden!” Susie’s voice came in. It was like a blade tore at my flesh, and I winced.

“Susie?”

“Yes, it’s me.” She chuckled. “You catch on quite easily. How are you?”

I was right after all. I didn’t answer but heard her scoff on the other end of the line.

“Are you seriously trying to go silent on me?” She growled.

I felt my anger grow. How dare she?

“Where’s Eros?” I asked, trying to keep calm but she giggled.

“Eros… He’s asleep. We’ve been busy… And judging from the way my body still aches, he would need the rest too.” She slurred. “I hope you can understand that.”

I growled, Tiara was alert. “What are you trying to say, Susie?”
