Roxanna glanced at her phone and saw a string of unread messages from Nicole. Only then did she realize she had cut off the call without explaining anything.
"Oh no, oh no! Nicole must be worried," she muttered to herself.
She quickly typed out a reply, explaining the situation to Nicole.
Over in Florend, Nicole's exhaustion had vanished after Roxanna hung up. Roxanna never abruptly ended calls like that, so Nicole wondered if something urgent had come up that forced Roxanna to do so.
She even ran through various scenarios in her mind.
Knock! Knock!
"Nicole, it's me."
After haring Chloe's voice, Nicole quickly responded, "Come in, it's not locked."
"Nicole, it's late. Why aren't you asleep? I came out to get some water and noticed your room's light is still on," Chloe chided as she walked in, clearly upset that Nicole, a pregnant woman, wasn't resting.
Observing Chloe's reaction, Nicole suddenly felt like a troublemaker that worried others. She sighed in resignation.
"Is something wrong?" Chloe asked, noting that Nicole wasn't arguing with her, which was a rare occurrence. She had learned to be suspicious whenever Nicole acted differently than usual and wondered if something bad had happened.
"When Roxanna called me just now, she sounded really serious. I figured something might have happened back home," Nicole explained, recounting the phone call to Chloe.
Chloe couldn't help but burst into laughter at the end. It is quite typical of Roxanna to pull something like this.
"Has she replied to your messages yet?" Chloe glanced at Nicole's phone, which remained conspicuously silent. It seemed Roxanna wasn't planning to respond anytime soon.
"She probably hasn't seen it yet. She'll reply soon. Don't worry, Nicole. Everything's fine," Chloe reassured, suppressing a smile as she tried to comfort Nicole.
Shifting to a more comfortable position, Nicole adjusted herself. Since her belly had grown, she and Chloe had tried various ways to ensure that she could lie down in comfort. Seeing that Nicole was settled, Chloe turned to leave, not wanting to disturb her rest.
On the other side of the globe, Roxanna, waiting for Nicole's reply, was finally reminded of the time difference. It was nighttime in Florend, and Nicole probably needed her sleep.
With that thought, Roxanna decided not to wait any longer and turned her focus back to work.
Meanwhile, in his office, Isaac was seated. He was staring at his computer screen, engaged in a conversation with someone on the other end.
"What? You've already seen Nicole? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I even went to the center today to gather information for you. It seems you don't really value my help," Isaac fumed, glaring at Colton on the other side.
On that day, while he was trying to gather information for Colton, Roxanna had witnessed him making a fool of himself. Colton's indifference did tick him off, having gone all out for him.
As an adult, he felt like he had made a complete fool of himself in front of a woman for the first time, and all of it was because of the person he was speaking to right now.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
