Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Smiles And Daggers

The following day, Amelia received a call from a strange number. She did not want to answer it at first, for she had changed her phone number in Beshya and had only given it to a handful of people she knew. The phone number on display seemed somewhat familiar, but she just could not recall who it belonged to.

After some thought, Amelia decided to answer the call anyway. She was dumbfounded when she heard the voice on the phone, for she never expected that Faye would call her. How the heck did she get my number?

“Hello, Mrs. Scott,” greeted Amelia respectfully.

“It’s been two years since we last met, Ms. Winters. I’m glad that you still remember an old lady like me. So I heard from Carter that you’re back. I was wondering if we could meet. Are you available for a cup of coffee right now?” Faye sounded polite but distant, somehow.

Curious, Amelia wondered what Faye could possibly want to talk about with her. Still, she decided to agree to meet Faye anyway since it would be rude to turn the elderly woman down. “Sure. When and where do you want to meet?”

“I’ll send you the time and address to your phone later.”

“Okay.”

“See you later then.”

As soon as Amelia hung up, she received a message from Faye showing the time and location of their meeting, and it was at one o’clock in the afternoon.

Kurt, who was playing hide-and-seek with Tony then, walked over while the boy went to hide. “Who was it?”

“An old friend. She asked me out for a cup of coffee later, so could you look after Tony for me while I’m out?” requested Amelia with a smile after putting her phone away.

“Sure. Do you want Tony and me to go with you?”
