Chapter 414 Waiting For Your Call

Michelle stuck out her tongue, obediently nodding. “Lysander, do you think I’m too foolish?”

Lysander thought that perhaps she had been too harsh with her words earlier. After all, her sister only had good intentions, wanting to help case the family’s burden.

“Of course not. You’re still young, and there’s so much in the world you haven’t experienced yet. Your lack of experience makes it hard for you to foresee certain dangers.

The call was answered quickly. “Lysander?”

“Zachary, what on earth are you trying to do?”

Zachary chuckled lightly. “I’ve been waiting for your call.”

“You’ve already gotten what you wanted. Why are you still pestering Michelle?”

Zachary had seemingly braced himself for her fury, his tone remaining nonchalant. “Shall we meet up and talk?”

“Tell me the location.”

“My home.”
