Upon hearing her words, Justin Battleson smiled pensively. Charlotte Thompson seemed indifferent to his pursuit, which was not what he had expected.
Suddenly, his mood improved significantly.
With the phone falling silent on the other end, Evelyn Curtis grew anxious and spoke up again. Check latest chapters at novèlfire.net
"Justin, I really didn’t think she would say that, our five years of feelings..."
Evelyn Curtis’ sobbing was giving Justin Battleson a headache. He pursed his lips and replied dismissively.
"Okay, have you caused enough trouble?"
His voice was low, revealing no overt reproach, yet it conveyed a palpable sense of anger to Evelyn Curtis.
Listening to her voice now, for some reason, Justin Battleson found himself increasingly irritable.
"I...Justin, how could you..."
Evelyn Curtis snuffled and began to speak in a tearful voice.
However, before she could finish, Justin Battleson cut her off.
"Do you have anything else to discuss? If not, I’m hanging up; I have work to do."
Justin Battleson’s authoritative tone caused Evelyn Curtis to hold back any further words for fear of further provoking him.
"I...I just missed you, Justin. When will you come over?"
Hearing these words, Justin Battleson’s eyebrows knitted more tightly.
Had he not been clear enough last time?
He remembered explicitly informing Evelyn Curtis to consider the nature of their relationship.
How is it that she still doesn’t understand?
Justin Battleson rubbed his temples, he had no energy to explain further to Evelyn Curtis.
"I’m very busy recently, goodbye."
Justin Battleson’s voice carried a certain irritable impatience as he quickly hung up the phone.
With Evelyn Curtis’ nagging voice gone, Justin Battleson felt a lot more at peace.
He looked out of the window and started thinking about what Evelyn Curtis had said.
She said that Charlotte Thompson had come to her to flaunt his pursuit of Charlotte.
Based on his understanding of Charlotte, she was not the type to show off.
In fact, she was disdainful, even mocking, concerning his pursuit of her.
However, given Evelyn Curtis’ agitated words, it seemed likely that Charlotte had indeed said something to her.
Up until now, only he and Charlotte knew about his pursuit. Yet, now Evelyn Curtis was questioning him about it.
It was highly plausible that Evelyn Curtis’ words were somewhat credible, and that it was Charlotte who had deliberately told her.
Justin Battleson leaned back in his chair, resting his head, and his mouth curved up in a slight smile, as he felt a sense of relaxation and enjoyment.
He didn’t know why, but the thought of Charlotte’s face instantly dispelled all his fatigue.
Looking out at the black sky with not a single star in sight, and the empty streets so quiet you could hear your own breath, took him back to that wild night. For some reason, his subconscious always associated that night with Sophie Allen.
Her body carried a delicate scent of rose dew, light and refreshing. Whenever he was around Sophie, Justin Battleson felt a sense of tranquility and comfort.
This was something Evelyn Curtis lacked.
Justin Battleson softly muttered her name, and the smile on his face deepened.
At the same time, the image of Charlotte’s stunning face surfaced in his mind, every frown and smile, her joys and tempers.
This little wild cat, her mind a mystery, made him more and more eager to explore.
Things were becoming more and more interesting.
