The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1238

The phone only rang for a few seconds before it was answered.

Neera was quite surprised. “Hey, isn’t it five in the morning back in the country? Why are you awake so early?”

Jean stood on the balcony, gazing at the night sky of Phison. He grunted in response. “You know it’s five in the morning, so why are you calling me at this hour?”

Neera hesitated as she played with her finger on the bedsheet. She whispered, “I just wanted to see if you were awake.”

Jean’s eyes held a profound tenderness. He pretended not to understand and asked, “You haven’t contacted me for some time. Why are you suddenly calling so early?”

Neera was aware that she was in the wrong and felt somewhat guilty.

“Hey, why are you so distant? Are you upset? Is it because I didn’t call you in these past few days?”

On the other end, Jean listened to her cautious inquiry. Holding back a smile, he asked indifferently, “What do you think?”

Neera pouted. “I’ve been busy these days. I was dead tired when I got back, so I took a nap. I only woke up this afternoon, and I called you as soon as I could. Don’t be mad…”

At this point, she had completely forgotten about the previous arguments between them.

Jean’s heart nearly melted when he heard her soft voice. He was utterly captivated, and he couldn’t help but smile.

This little fool is quite easy to fool.

As he remained silent, Neera assumed he was still upset, so she continued to whine.
