Anna’s probing eyes grew deeper and deeper, chasing Rupert to get to the bottom of the matter, trying to get an answer.
And at that moment, Rupert’s cell phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Rupert seemed to grab a lifeline and immediately changed the subject, “Anna, I’ll take a call first, and then I’ll talk to you later.”
“You stay here, don’t leave until you’ve finished.” Anna held Rupert’s arm, afraid he would run away.
Rupert had no choice but to keep this action and pick up the phone.
“Hello, who is it?”
“Brother, it’s me, Jurrian,” the familiar voice came out from the other end of the phone, causing Rupert’s expression to freeze instantly.
He had noticed when he answered the phone just now that it was a number from Willisto.
But the call was from Jurrian.
That means …
“Where are you?” Rupert asked directly.
Jurrian sounded quite surprised, “Brother, you are really getting smarter and smarter, obviously I haven’t said anything yet, you can know everything.”
“Where are you?!” Rupert’s tone was aggravated and tinged with anger.
But only a moment later, it was doused by Jurrian’s words.
Jurrian replied slowly, “I don’t know where I’ve gone, it’s a villa, and there’s a wooden sign on the door that says the Newman’s Mansion.”
That was Anna’s mother’s house!
Rupert’s pupils shrank severely.
What the hell did Jurrian want?
“Brother, I’m cold and hungry now, I really can’t hold on, or I’ll go into this family’s house first and seek their help, they should look very kind.”
“Stay where you are and don’t move, I’ll be right over to you.”
Ruthlessly hanging up the phone, Rupert pulled his leg and headed out.
Forgetting that Anna was still holding his arm, he moved so hard that he tugged Anna to stagger and almost fell to the ground.
“David, where are you going?” Anna stood up steadily and questioned loudly, “We’re not done with our business yet!”
“Anna, I have some things to attend to, as for our business, can we talk about it later?” Rupert sounded almost pleading.
“Is it someone so important to you that you would leave even me behind and go to this person without hesitation?” Anna continued to pursue the question.
This-
Rupert was unable to answer for a moment.
Jurrian is certainly not as important as Anna, but if this answer, why he would leave Anna to go to Jurrian would not make sense.
If he said that Jurrian was more important than Anna, Anna would definitely be angry.
After much hesitation, Rupert finally found the most suitable answer.
“She is naturally not as important as you in my heart, but I am going over there now because I have something very important to solve, Anna, don’t you believe me?”
The topic was thrown back to Anna, instantly causing Anna to freeze in her tracks.
After hesitating, she still told Rupert, “Of course I believe you.”
“As long as you believe me, that’s enough.” Rupert nodded his head, “Give me two hours, I’ll come back when I’m done.”
Throwing down these words, Rupert disappeared in the doorway.
The sound of a car driving away was soon heard from downstairs, disappearing into the night and finally never to be heard again.
Anna drops her long, slender feathered eyelashes, casting shadows from above and below, obscuring her face in all its glory.
Imperceptible to sentiment, one could only hear the doubt and disbelief in her voice.
“But, from the beginning, you never told me who the other party really is.”
That girl with a sweet voice coming out of the phone, who exactly is it?
