Ryan ignored him at first and raised his phone. He was scrolling down his contact list to check for Emily’s number. He wanted to send a message that he was back.
As the car swerved in the direction of the estate, Ryan finally found her number. But when he clicked on it, he frowned to see that she hasn’t been online since the last time they spoke.
“Brother… You have to see this! It concerns sister-in-law!” Scott’s words finally managed to gain Ryan’s attention. Ryan’s eyes fell on the trending headline written boldly on the screen and his eyes widened.
#Young Master Wilson’s Secret Girlfriend’s Identity Finally Exposed# was displayed boldly on the screen but his eyes didn’t linger long on the headline. It shifted to the picture of Emily and Steve as…
He snatched the phone from Scott’s hand and zoomed in. He gritted his teeth angrily when he noticed the plate of seafood in the picture… She still went to him even after he instructed her not to.
Is she trying to intentionally spite him!? Scott smirked and sat back, watching Ryan’s facial expression. Will he finally believe that this miss feisty isn’t the one for him?
The car stopped and Scott looked up. He looked away when he saw that the car stopped because they already pulled up in front of the estate entrance.
He looked back at Ryan just in time to see him punching his phone angrily. Ryan clicked on Emily’s number a second time and dialled her number.
Lena was going to the fridge when the phone in her hand suddenly rang. She raised the phone to look at the caller ID and answer the call but suddenly halted when she observed the noticeable difference in the phone.
Scrutinizing the phone, she observed that she had mistakenly picked up Emily’s phone instead of hers. By the time she was done, the call already disconnected.
“Well… Since the call has disconnected, I’d better return the phone before sister wakes up,” She mumbled and closed the fridge.
But before she even walked out of the kitchen, the phone rang again.
“Emily…,” Ryan gritted. “You really dare to ignore the call after cheating on your boyfriend.” Scott groaned inwardly at this. There’s really no saving his brother again cause he’s obviously already so deep in love!
Ryan called the number again. He would continue calling until she answer. But luckily, she answered the call this time.
“Emily… You…,” Ryan didn’t even know what to say but he still tried to control his anger. “I told you not to go to that restaurant with him but you still went huh? What are you trying to prove by cheating on your boyfriend?”
Lena was speechless. What restaurant? What boyfriend? What’s this guy talking about? She hadn’t even walked out of the kitchen when the phone rang again. She was rudely shocked when she saw ‘Hubby(jerk)’ flashing on the screen.
She even giggled. She didn’t expect that Steve and Emily’s relationship had already progressed to this stage. Since Steve is the only person she can think of that Emily would save as hubby on her phone.
So she went against her own rules of never answering someone else’s call and answered the call. What harm is there when it’s her future brother-in-law calling?
She didn’t expect that her brother-in-law would sound so angry and why is he asking about one restaurant?
“Emily. Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you too…,?” Ryan trailed off when a strange yet faint familiar voice flooded his ear.
“Uhmm… Who is this? Emily isn’t here right now and her phone is with me. Who is this so I can relay your message to her?” The strange lady asked.
“What is my caller ID on her phone?” Ryan asked cheekily.
“Hubby,” The lady replied and Ryan smiled. “But she also added jerk in a bracket.” Ryan’s smile wiped off at that.
“Give the phone to her now!” He hollered. “Mister… I just told you, my sister, isn’t here,” The lady sounded annoyed. “I didn’t think Mr Steve would be this rude and arrogant,” Ryan’s eyebrows rose when he heard her murmur this under her breath.
Jokes on her cause he could still hear it loud and clear. He chuckled. Does she think he is Steve? Who is Steve though? That familiar name rang out in Ryan’s brain and he finally understood everything.
That day at the office, this unknown Steve had called Emily, “Wifey.” The time he sent a message to her, she also mentioned Steve. Could Steve be the same Steve he is thinking about?
Ryan’s hands clenched tightly as he thought of the possibility that this Steve is the same young master Wilson. Wilson Steve… The man that’s just been involved with Emily in that dating scandal.
Wow! So the Wilsons aren’t only competing with him in the business world. He also wants to compete in his love life! He’d never let that happen.
Lena didn’t hear anything from the other side for an agonizing minute and she was even more irritated. She’d already been annoyed by the man’s arrogant words or shall I say rude words?
She resolved to end the call and return the phone but just then, her mother worked.
“You’ve been on the phone this whole time that I’ve been looking for you!” Ryan was startled when he heard a loud voice coming from the phone which certainly doesn’t belong to the lady he had just spoken with.
“Go and get these ingredients in the nearby grocery store. Don’t delay so I can prepare the soup for Emily before she wakes up,” Ryan sat up immediately after he heard this. Wake up? What happened to her?
“I don’t even know when she would wake up. It didn’t use to be like this when…,” The call was finally disconnected. Ryan groaned and turned to Scott who had been watching him curiously.
“Scott… You mentioned once that you saw Emily in the neighbourhood once right? Then you probably know her house. Give the chauffeur the directions,” He instructed. Thankfully, the driver just drove in and was inching close to Emily’s house.
