Chapter 51

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Day.

Ever since Natalie shared a bed with Trevon at the Wilson’s residence, they did not have much interaction. It was as if it never happened.

Lately. Trevon seemed quite busy. She had not seen him in the morning, and he came home late at night. When he returned, she was already fast asleep with the door closed.

As Natalie was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. It wasn’t an alarm, nor was it a WhatsApp message. It was a call.

She extended her arm to retrieve her phone, and when she saw the caller ID on the screen, she wore her morning smile.

“Hello, Edward.”

A gentle and soft-spoken voice came from the other end of the phone, “Natalie, are you awake? Did I disturb you?”

“No, I was already awake. I was just about to get up. 111 freshen up and meet Sherri, and then we’ll come to pick you up. Weren’t you supposed to be on the plane at this time?”

On the other end of the phone. Edward churkled lightly. Then, Natalie only noticed something off now. Edward replied, “Things got done ahead of schedule. I changed my flight last night.”

“Oh, why didn’t you message me last night? I set my alarm wrong. What time will you arrive? Can we make it in time if we go now?” She glanced at her phone and saw that it was already 2 o’clock. Edward’s original arrival time was 3 o’clock, so she and Sherri would have enough time to go to the airport.

But it seemed like they were not going to make it on time. They would definitely be late.

She had set the alarm for 2:10.

Edward’s voice remained gentle and unhurried. T’m already here. Are you awake?”

“Just wait for me. I’ll come to pick you up right away.”

“You…” Before Edward could finish his sentence, there was only silence on the other end of the phone. Natalie always rushed around like this, but she never broke her promises.
