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.

He then went out of the door.
