Aurora sped up and rushed to the door of Veronica’s room. There was a door between them, and she could hear everything that was going on inside.
She had always done with this Ornard, but now he was doing it with Veronica. Plus, the children were right downstairs.
How ‘dry’ was Ornard? Did he lie when he said that he liked Aurora?
Jealousy and anger welled up in Aurora’s heart. She really wanted to kick the door open, but she still had a trace of rationality in her.
Thinking of the consequences of kicking the door open, Aurora controlled herself. She bit her lips tightly while glaring at the door angrily. Then, she turned around and left.
Evelyn waited for Valeria’s response after sending the photo to her. After waiting for a few hours, there was still no response from Valeria.
Evelyn couldn’t wait any longer. Didn’t Angel say that Valeria got jealous easily?
Seeing the intimate photos of William holding another woman in his arms, Valeria must be jealous. Could it be her and William fighting if she did not reply?
If that was the case, William would definitely be at his wit’s end. He must felt extremely wronged.
Evelyn desperately wanted to know Valeria’s current situation. She was not familiar with her and did not have a good relationship with her either. It would be very difficult to know about Valeria now.
After thinking about it for a while, she thought of Thomas. Last time, Thomas insulted Evelyn and they did not keep in touch ever since. Evelyn was prideful too, and she did not want to contact Thomas herself. But if she did not take the initiative, he would definitely not contact her too!
After hesitating for a while, Evelyn sent a message to Thomas. “Are you free?”
She thought that if she made the first move, he would definitely reply to her in a second.
However, Evelyn was wrong. There was no response from Thomas at all.
Thomas didn’t take her seriously at all and this made her angry.
Evelyn angrily called the Francis and said, “Grandpa, Thomas is bullying me!”
Francis doted on his granddaughter very much. “Oh dear girl, how so? Tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you!”
“He ignored me! I sent him a message, but he didn’t reply.”
“Thomas is very busy at work. Maybe he’s not free?”
“He won’t just do his work all the time, right? He’s ignoring me, because I don’t believe that he did not see message!”
“This brat! How dare he ignores my dear granddaughter? I’ll ask him right away and tell him to apologize!”
With Francis’ words, Evelyn was relieved. She spoke a little more before hanging up.
After hanging up, Francis touched his chin and laughed. He was worried that Evelyn would be proud and unwilling to talk to Thomas, but looking at her reaction, Francis knew that he had worried too much.
Thomas was excellent and capable, and he was also handsome. How could Evelyn ignore him?
Since his granddaughter had such intentions, Francis naturally had to fulfill Evelyn’s wish.
After thinking for a while, he dialed Thomas’ number. Thomas was respectful when he answered, “Hello, Mr. Gurney.”
Francis was very satisfied with Thomas’s attitude. He asked kindly, “Thomas, have you been very busy recently?”
Hearing his words, Thomas knew that he was doing this for Evelyn. “Yes. The company is making a big plan and I’ve been working overtime every day.”
“Is that so? Work is important, but health is also important. Pay attention to your health when you are busy with work too.”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gurney. I will!”
“By the way, how is Evelyn recently? Did she cause you any trouble?”
Thomas frowned and said, “I’m sorry. I’ve been busy with work recently, so I don’t know much about Ms. Gurney’s whereabouts.”
Francis could hear the coldness and distance from Thomas’ tone. Thomas had changed his address of Evelyn to Ms. Gurney, which proved that Evelyn must have done something to anger Thomas.
Francis knew his granddaughter’s temper very well. He softened his tone and said, “Evelyn has a bad temper. She has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child. If she did something to you, don’t take it seriously, Forgive her for me, okay?”
Thomas didn’t want to embarrass Francis and said, “I know. I won’t argue with Ms. Gurney. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you! I know you’re a good man, and everything you do is reassuring to me. That’s why I asked Evelyn to go to you, so that you can teach her a little. If you are free, do visit her in my stead, please!”
Since Francis had said that, Thomas could not ignore too. After he hung up the phone, he sighed.
He replied to Evelyn, “I was busy with work just now and my phone was switched off. What’s the matter?”
Seeing that Thomas had replied, Evelyn knew that Francis had a call with him. She sneered and thought to herself, “Ignore me if you dare!”
Although Thomas was not working under the Gurney family, he was helped by the Gurney family. So, he was naturally still afraid of Francis, right?
For the sake of Francis, he had to endure it, so she didn’t have to worry about anything else. She proudly replied, “I’m annoyed. Come out and have afternoon tea with me immediately!”
Thomas stared at Evelyn’s message and sneered. His eyes turned fierce as he replied, “Where?”
More than 40 minutes later, Thomas drove to the venue Evelyn told him. She was already there and had already ordered many things to eat. She grinned when she saw Thomas and said, “I ordered some of your favourite snacks.”
Thomas sat down opposite and looked at Evelyn indifferently. “Your grandfather just called me and asked me to see you on his behalf. Ms. Gurney, do you have anything to say to your grandfather? Tell me, and I can tell him for you.”
Evelyn was embarrassed, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly. “Thomas, what are you doing? Did I force you to come? If you are not happy, you can leave!”
“Ms. Gurney, if you have anything to say, just shoot. I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to talk so much nonsense.”
“You!” Thomas said that it was a waste of time to see her. Evelyn wanted to retort, but found that it was useless to do so. Thomas obviously did not like he and her emotions had nothing to do with Thomas.
Evelyn took a sip of juice and suppressed her anger. “I’m wanna see you because I want to know how Valeria is doing now.”
“You want to mess with Valeria?” Thomas frowned. “Evelyn, have you forgotten what I told you before? Don’t mess with her as she is not someone you can mess with!”
“Who said I was going to provoke her? I just want to know what she is doing now.”
“You have nothing to do with her. Why do you even care?”
“Can’t I be curious? Thomas, tell me what she’s doing now. I’ll let you go back to your work then!”
