In Love, Never Say Never

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1574

“What? You’re at my door? How could you show up uninvited? Do the Fullers not know about basic manners at all?”

The shrill voice from the other end made me take my ear away from the phone. I furrowed my brows, feeling utterly displeased.

She sounded like a different person from my first impression of Yuna. Is she truly the university professor that we’ve met?

“What’s going on?” Emery asked with concern upon noticing my scrunched-up face.

“Nothing…” I took a deep breath, trying to recollect myself.

I guess it is my fault for not informing them before I come. Perhaps she doesn’t want to let others see her house in an unprepared state. That’s why she lost her temper.

A few seconds later, I put the phone back to my ear.

It seemed that Yuna had realized her misbehavior, as she had passed the phone to her husband, James. “Mrs. Fuller, I’m so sorry. My wife’s having a difficult time at work recently, so she’s in a bad mood. Please forgive her. You’re welcome to visit us anytime. But, what Yuna failed to mention was that we’re currently at our house in Jazona, as our parents wanted to see Shaun. We’ll be here for quite a time. I’m sorry for having you come so far for nothing…”

With that, I was left with no choice but to appoint for the next visit and end the call.

Fortunately, Audrey did not make a fuss out of it. She figured it was just a matter of time for her to meet Shaun. At that moment, all she wanted was to get back to the air-conditioned car.

Just when we were about to leave, a loud thud came from inside the door.

What’s going on? I thought there isn’t anyone at home? Thinking that I had misheard, I turned to Emery and Gregory only to see them showing the same befuddled look like mine.

At that instant, I could not help but suspect what James had told me.

Are they really away from home? Or could it be that they’re afraid to let us in the house since we’ve made a surprise visit?

As we exchanged looks and wondered what the hell was going on, we heard some noises coming from the other side of the door again.

Click… Click… Click…

It was a slow and rhythmic tapping sound. It was as if something was hitting the ground.

Joseph leaned his ear against the door cautiously. After a while, he turned to us with a stern look. “There’s someone inside!”

Something’s wrong. Even though Shaun is quite a mysterious person, he’s still Audrey’s saver. With that in mind, I immediately instructed Joseph, “Kick the door down!”

I pulled Audrey aside while Emery pulled Gregory to the other corner. After that, Joseph threw a heavy kick on the door.

We should count our lucky stars that he hasn’t broken down after going through so much. It’d be a torment to ask him to relive the painful ordeal of how he got injured.
