Violet retracted her gaze and felt inexplicably ufortable.
She pursed her lips as she suddenly thought of the crazy Yvonne.
Yvonne had made things difficult for her time and time again for the sake
of Patrick.
So many women had vied to please him. Was she going to be one of them?
Violet suddenly had a strong feeling of discouragement.
She replied to Megan’s message.
Violet replied, [No matter what he asks, don’t tell him. | can’t be friends. with him anymore two years ago. It’s best not to meet
him!]
Megan sent. [Got it!]
Violet put away her phone, feeling inexplicably depressed.
Just as Patrick was about to finish his shower, his phone rang again.
When Violet saw that the caller ID read “Brother”, her eyes shed. She guessed that it should be a call from Patrick’s brother.
She hesitated for a moment but did not answer the call for Patrick.
She picked up Patrick’s phone and walked toward the bathroom. “Mr. Hersey, your brother is calling you! Do you want me to
answer it for you?”
Patrick’s voice was mixed with the sound of running water in the
bathroom. “Help me answer it. Tell him that I’ll call him back when |e
outter!”
Violet-looked at the shing light on Patrick’s phone screen and was about to answer the call.
However, the call was suddenly hung up.
Violet pursed her lips and walked back to the sofa. She ced the phone
on the coffee table.
After a while, Patrick came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.
His hair was wet. The water on the hair ends dripped onto his half-naked chest and slowly slid into the deeper part.
He swallowed slightly. His Adam’s apple was so s exy that it made one’s hair
stand on end.
Violet''s face turned red and her heart raced. She could not help but look
away.
Patrick walked over and took his phone from the coffee table. He asked Violet, “Did my brother call me?”
Violet turned to look at him and saw him bending over. His eight-pack abs were clearly disyed in front of Violet. They were
well-defined and
seemed to be exceptionally strong and firm.
Violet pursed her lips and felt an urge to swallow. “Yes, the caller ID disyed ‘Brother! | originally nned to answer it, but the
call suddenly ended, so | put your phone back!”
Patrick nodded and picked up his phone. He immediately saw the message from Rose.
He suddenly looked up at Violet. “Rose called me too?”
Violet pretended to be nonchnt and did not look at Patrick. “Oh, yes, | almost forgot to tell you!”
Patrick frowned slightly. “Violet, you care, right?”
Violet put on a fake smile and looked at Patrick. “Mr. Hersey, what are you talking about? | don’t understand!”
Patrick frowned even more. “Violet, Rose and 1...”
He was about to exin when Violet’s phone suddenly rang.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Violet looked down and saw that it was Megan calling.
JI
She gave a faint smile and said, “Sorry, Mr. Hersey. It’s Megan calling.”
As so
as the call was connected, Megan’s voice came through with some urgency. “I didn’t tell Freddie your contact number, but for
some reason, he got in touch with Skyler, and Skyler just told me that he told Freddie!”
Violet''s expression changed slightly. She pursed her lips. “Okay, got it. This has nothing to do with you. As for Skyler, he didn’t do
it on purpose.
If
Freddie looks for me, | can handle it myself.”
After Violet hung up, Patrick looked at her with a frown. “What’s the
matter?”
Violet smiled and said, “It’s just a small matter.”
Seeing that Violet did not want to say more, Patrick did not probe further.
He continued to exin and said, “Violet, at the day, Rose and I...”
However, halfway through his exnation, Violet''s phone rang again.
This time, it was an unknown number.
Initially, Violet did not want to answer the call. However, in order to ease. the current situation, she still said, “I’m really sorry, Mr.
Hersey. There’s
another call!”
Patrick stared at her, the light in his eyes fading.
Violet was calm, restrained, and distant. She seemed to have returned to
how she was at the beginning.
Patrick suddenly did not want to exin. His tone was a little cold as he said, “Then go ahead with your phone.
After saying that, he put away his phone and sat on the sofa at the side. His eyes were gloomy, and it was unknown what he was
thinking.
Violet looked at him, bit her lip, and answered the call.
When she saw Rose’s message, she suddenly realized that Patrick had saved her. She was indeed very grateful, but this was
not a reason for her
to interfere in Patrick’s private matters.
After all, Patrick had made it very clear to her from the beginning that one had to know their limits.
Shecked everything except this.
She picked up the call and was still a little distracted until she heard the person’s voice on the other end. “Vi”
Violet''s expression changed slightly. “Freddie!”
Freddie’s voice was gentle and warm. “Yeah. We haven''t seen each other for
two years
How are you?”
Violet pursed her lips tightly. “I’m fine. What about you?”
Freddie chuckled. “Not bad. Vi, I’m back.”
Violet could not continue ying dumb. “Yes, | saw it on the news.”
Freddie’s voice carried a hint of a smile. “Really? Then, can | take it that you''re still paying attention to my news?”
Violet''s expression froze slightly. She changed the topic stiffly. “Freddie,
what''s the matter?”
Freddie’s smile faded as he asked, “Will youe for the Alumni Gathering in two days?”
Violet pursed her lips tightly. “I might be... very busy at that time.”
Freddie’s tone was a little cold. “Vi, it''s only been a little over two years since west saw each other, and you’re already so
distant to me now?”
Violet remained silent.
Freddie continued, “Vi, I’m really a little sad that you''re so cold to me. Are you going to reject me the moment | ask you? I
searched for your contact information for a long time before | found it! | almost even asked my brother to help me investigate
your news. You know?”
Violet''s heart tightened slightly. “I’m not rejecting you. I’m just...”
A
Freddie interrupted her. His tone was gentle but forceful. “If you are busy that day, | can change the time of the Alumni
Gathering!”
