Valentine Teller was evasive, and she looked up at Mark Reed.
Did he guess it right?
Mark Reed's heart sank, and he ordered in an indisputable tone, "Ask your boyfriend to come out so I can meet him."
He felt inexplicably blocked in his heart.
There was actually no need for this at all; making this request felt bizarre even to himself. Mark Reed thought he was too idle and doing something so pointless.
Seeing Valentine Teller hesitate to act, he furrowed his eyebrows, "Answer the phone!"
Valentine Teller hesitated before silently pressing the answer button.
Her voice was low and gentle, like the night breeze, without any harm.
"Mr. Sladder, I'm at the school gate having wontons... okay, I'll wait for you..."
Valentine Teller hung up the phone and said to Mark Reed, "He'll be here soon."
