In Love, Never Say Never

It was still early when I got home. Bored out of my mind, I called Macy.

To my dismay, her phone was still switched off. It’s already been three months. She should’ve been done with her confinement by now, but why is her phone still turned off?

Helpless, I called Jackson instead. The call rang for a long time before it connected, and he sounded quite busy when he spoke. “Scarlett, I’m taking care of the baby now. What about you? What are you doing?”

I blinked in surprise. It must be quite difficult for a grown man to take care of a baby.

“Are you still with Macy in the countryside?” I asked while making myself comfortable on the sofa.

There was a momentary pause on the other end of the line before he answered, “Yeah. And you? How are you doing? Good?”

I nodded even though he couldn’t see me. “Yeah. I’ll return to J City around the end of the year. Are you two planning to come back to celebrate the new year? Or are you going to stay in the countryside?”

“We’re not too sure yet!” He seemed busy, so I quickly asked, “Where’s Macy? Is her phone broken? Why isn’t she answering her phone? I haven’t been able to get through to her for quite some time already.”

“Yeah! She’s quite busy. Anyway, I gotta go now. Let’s talk again some other time.” With that, he hung up the call.

I froze for a moment before putting my phone away.
