Summer Sutton’s hand holding the phone was burning hot, just like the temperature of her heart at that moment.
To her, if there’s still warmth in this world, it’s Adrian Walyon.
This man who always stood by her side, no matter what happened, always protected her and shielded a part of the sky for her.
Summer Sutton stared absentmindedly at his name on the phone screen, repeating those three words in her heart, feeling a gentle warmth inside.
However, thinking about this situation made bitterness rise within her.
She had already been driven out, almost with no possibility of returning.
Even if one day the Walyons discovered the truth, regretted the decision they made this time, still, for someone who has been driven out once, returning was impossible.
What was she going to do about her future with him?
Summer Sutton stared blankly at his name on the phone for a long time, gazing at each message he sent. Although the content was almost the same, she read them all attentively.
She scrolled to the bottom of the inbox, finished reading all the messages, yet did not reply to a single one.
Nor did she call him.
Throwing the phone aside, Summer Sutton left and randomly picked a shop to have a simple dinner.
Two more days passed just like that.
On the fifth day after leaving the Walyon Family, Summer Sutton took a bus around River City during the day, trying to find a part-time job to prepare for next semester’s tuition fees.
Returning fruitless from a day out, she gloomily went back to the small motel she was staying at, burying her head as she was about to enter the room, when suddenly an angry shout came from behind, "Summer Sutton!"
The familiar voice made Summer Sutton’s heart skip a beat.
Her back stiffened, and she halted the leg she had prepared to step into the room with.
Adrian Walyon walked up to her briskly, starting a barrage of scolding, "Do you know how long I’ve been looking for you? So many calls, so many messages, can’t you see or hear any of them?"
"Not saying a word about where you went, don’t you know I would worry? Do you know how long I’ve waited for your call these days, unable to even sleep?"
"Each time I was exhausted and wanted to sleep, I was afraid you’d call and need me when I’m not there. After closing my eyes for just a few minutes, I’d open them again. Do you know how I’ve gotten through these days?"
"It’s just the Walyon Family, what’s the big deal if you can’t stay there? Don’t you know there’s also Sutton Gardens and Morning Garden? Sutton Gardens and Morning Garden are our true homes!"
He continued shouting with every word filled with rage, exploding like gunfire.
Summer Sutton was stunned by his yelling, looking at him with a dumbfounded expression.
The two of them stared at each other under the night sky, the noise caused by Adrian Walyon’s appearance had drawn a large curious crowd.
Feeling annoyed, Adrian Walyon turned his head and shouted angrily at the group of people, "What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a husband worrying about his wife?" Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
He spoke righteously, and the crowd stared at him in surprise as if taken aback by what he said.
This didn’t look like worry; he seemed more like he was coming to chop someone up!
Ignoring the crowd, Adrian Walyon grabbed Summer Sutton’s hand and pulled her into the building, "Which floor, which room?"
Summer Sutton followed behind him stiffly, her voice small, "1202."
Adrian Walyon dragged her into the elevator and quickly pressed the button for her floor.
