The very brief words brought a sense of reassurance to Cheyenne.
In the video, Kelvin appeared to be in the study, dressed in a deep blue bathrobe, with a slightly open collar revealing a small area of tanned skin and an imposingly attractive Adam’s apple.
Cheyenne subconsciously swallowed and took a few more glances. She muttered softly, “Sultry!”
“Cheyenne, what are you saying?”
“Nothing… actually.”
It seemed like the man moved the camera upward a bit, and his unexpectedly handsome face appeared under the warm, dim yellow light.
Kelvin seemed to have just washed his hair, and the wet short hair was combed back, revealing a broad and full forehead.
He was also wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and the lenses faintly reflected the light, making the tender smile in his long and deep-set eyes appear somewhat trance-inducing.
With his dominant and restrained aura, Kelvin exuded confidence. Cheyenne didn’t hide her admiration for her own husband’s appearance.
Then, Kelvin noticed the infatuated look in his wife’s eyes. He couldn’t help but smile and his voice became magnetic.
“Miss me?”
Cheyenne coughed, bringing herself back from his masculine charm, and pouted unhappily.
“Weren’t you gone for just a few days? And I’m busy all day, I don’t have time to miss you!”
Kelvin didn’t quite like this answer, and his eyebrows furrowed. “Cheyenne, you’re so heartless… fine. Even if you don’t miss me, I miss you a lot.”
“As soon as I got off the plane, I was thinking, it would be great if you were with me; at dinner with Grandpa, seeing all your favorite dishes on the table, I thought, you would definitely be happy if you were here.”
“Even when I played chess with Grandpa, I was thinking of you… especially at night, I can’t sleep without holding you.”
Listening to him chatter about these details, Cheyenne could even imagine everything he had experienced on this trip, and she blushed and listened to his expressions of longing for her.
Biting her red lip, she added, “Alright, stop trying to play the victim. I… I miss you, okay?”
In the video, Kelvin smiled triumphantly. “I knew Cheyenne must miss me a lot too.”
“Hmph. By the way… how are my dad and Grandpa doing recently?”
“Don’t worry, they’re both doing well.”
Only when Kelvin said it could she believe it.
“Great, by the way, Kelvin… I called you for something. I found Omari’s name on the list of outbound passengers from the airport on April 12th that you sent me, and… Elsa’s name as well, and they both left the country on the same day. The only difference is the destination. Can you help me find out about Elsa’s recent whereabouts?”
When Kelvin received the information, he only noticed Omari’s name and really didn’t notice that Elsa Weaver was also on the list.
“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it right away, and we should have some news by tomorrow. And by the way, I heard that Kate’s in trouble. Are you at the hospital alone watching over her?”
“Yes!”
Kelvin knew that she and Kate had grown up together like sisters, but Cheyenne was his wife first before being someone else’s friend, and he wasn’t happy that she was jeopardizing her own health for the sake of others.
There was even a hint of jealousy, even if the other person was a woman.
“Cheyenne, if you ever treat me so well, I’d give up my life for you even if you asked for it.”
Listening to his words, Cheyenne rolled her eyes, “Don’t forget, on our wedding night, you left me for Abbie’s phone call. Kate is my good friend.”
When it came to settling old scores, Kelvin could never win against her, especially when it involved Abbie, a person he never wanted to mention in his life. At this moment, he could only surrender.
“Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore. I admit my mistake. I’m just worried about your health, so promise me not to act tough.”
Cheyenne nodded with a smile.
Kelvin had things to do tomorrow, and it was almost time. He kissed Cheyenne through the screen with a charming smile.
“Goodnight, my darling.”
“…”
“Cheyenne, it’s only fair that you should give me a kiss too, right?”
“No, that’s too silly.”
“Well, if you don’t kiss me now, you’ll owe me one when I get back, deal?”
Cheyenne was getting fed up with him; she didn’t want to be bullied against the wall, so she reluctantly puckered her red lips and blew him a kiss across the screen.
Little did she know the man took a screenshot when she leaned in, and as he looked at her cherry lips on the screen, Kelvin rubbed the phone screen with his finger.
He vowed to make up for all the lost time when he got back!
After Cheyenne hung up, he sent the screenshot to her Line and left a message.
?Your lips look a bit dry, I’ll moisten them up for you when I get back.】
Angry at her own ugly look in the photo, Cheyenne thought about smashing the phone, but considering it was bought with money… forget it.
Back in the moment, Cheyenne picked up a book from the shelf to pass the time, and before she knew it, an hour had passed.
Her previous lifestyle was a bit irregular, staying up late at night; but ever since Cierra was born, she rarely stayed up late.
As she read, drowsiness crept up on her, and Cheyenne felt her upper and lower eyelids battling to stay open.
Just then, a sharp, tense voice echoed in the corridor.
Midnight had arrived.
The chime woke Cheyenne up; she rubbed her eyes and reluctantly opened them, looking at the deep night outside the window.
Then, a shrill voice disrupted her thoughts, someone calling her name from outside the office door.
“Miss Lawrence, something’s wrong! Patient in room 203 is in trouble.”
“What did you say!”
Cheyenne was instantly alert, and as she opened the door and saw a somewhat unfamiliar nurse in front of her.
She felt a sense of unease.
“What happened to the patient in Room 203?”
“When I went in to administer the saline, I found the patient’s heart rate suddenly weakening. Miss Lawrence, you need to go see.”
“Alright.”
Without hesitation, Cheyenne followed her inside.
