“Hello, Mr. Johnsons,” Agnes greeted softly. “Are you still awake this late?”
“Agnes, is Ansel with you?” The middle-aged man asked urgently. “I’ve been calling him, but he isn’t answering. He said he’d be back early, and the rain is getting heavier! It’s so late already.”
He hasn’t come back yet?
Agnes snapped back to reality and quickly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll try to contact him. I saw him two hours ago; there shouldn’t be any problem. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything!”
“Did you two have a fight?” Mr. Johnsons had a bad feeling. “I know he went to see you and even bought a gift.”
“No, we didn’t fight,” Agnes didn’t hide anything. “Sir, after he received his bonus, he bought me some gold jewelry and talked about our future. We just discussed our feelings openly; it wasn’t really a fight. I refused him.”
“Agnes, no matter what, Ansel has never been in a relationship before. You know how tormenting love can be. He’s my only son; I just want him to be safe now. Please help me contact him and stabilize his situation. Don’t let him do anything foolish.”
Hearing this, Agnes suddenly stiffened. Do something foolish?
Do you remember what Ansel said when he left?
Agnes, you will regret this!
She suddenly became very worried and anxious. “Okay, I promise you, I’ll hang up now and contact him immediately!”
After hanging up, she quickly dialed Ansel’s number. It connected, and the ringtone sounded!
Her tense mood relaxed slightly. Answer it! Please answer! She held her breath and prayed that nothing bad had happened. Was his stress tolerance really that low?
At this moment, Ansel was sitting on a bench by the river. He wasn’t using an umbrella and allowed the heavy rain to drench him completely. He held his phone tightly in his hand.
He was waiting for Agnes’s call.
So every time his father called, he didn’t answer; he didn’t want to.
His mind was filled with thoughts of Agnes.
This time, the phone rang without disappointing him.
Her name flashed on the screen; he had finally waited long enough. He was happy!
But at the same time, he felt heartbroken because she had clearly rejected him and said she liked someone else.
But Ansel didn’t think too much about it and quickly swiped to answer the call since this was the call he had been waiting for.
“Ansel! Where are you?! Your father is worried sick about you! Why aren’t you answering his calls?” Agnes was very anxious and a bit frustrated.
Hearing this, Ansel’s smile stiffened slightly. “So he’s worried about me? You’re not worried about me?”
From the sound of the rain in his voice, she could tell he was agitated and weak, feeling somewhat hopeless about the future.
Agnes’s heart tightened. “No, no, no! I’m worried too! Why else would I call you? Where are you? I’ll come find you!”
This was the first time Ansel felt her anxiety and concern for him. He found it ironic but also very sad. If only she liked him too.
“Say something! Where are you?!” Agnes was genuinely worried and didn’t want anything to happen to him. “Are you in the rain? You’ll get sick if you keep doing this!”
He then gave her an address. “I need to see you within ten minutes, or I’ll die.” He made a joke with her before giving her the location.
This made Agnes extremely anxious as she grabbed an umbrella and rushed out!
