The Woman From Hell

Chapter 283

"I’m tired, can you pick it up for me?" He hugged me even tighter. Having found a comfortable position, he continued to sleep.

I struggled to take the phone out of his pocket and glanced at the caller ID without answering it. I said softly, "It's a call from Miss Reed."

His body froze a little, then he opened his eyes and let go of me. As he stood up, he said, "I need to take this."

I looked at his back and felt a little suffocated. He used to always answer his calls on speakerphone.

After some time, he returned and said to me without a single expression on his face, "I need to go out for a moment."

He then went out of the door.

This same scene had played out many times over the last five years and it was happening again. When I looked at his resolute back, I felt a little sad, but strangely, I was not as upset as I thought I would be.

Perhaps it was because the windows in the room were not open, the room felt a little stifling and I wanted to g o out to get some fresh air. However, as soon as I walked to the door, I thought of the scene that day.
