After lunch, Nathan Sutton took the little girl home, and when he returned, Perry Payne's video call came through again.
Perry Payne's infuriating voice came from the phone: "Bro, you're so ruthless, choosing love over friendship by hanging up on me."
As Perry was talking, he was adjusting his hair, applying gel for styling, and straightening his clothes.
Caleb Lockwood just glanced at him and placed the phone on the table, the camera facing the ceiling. He didn't want to look at him at all.
He picked up the book placed on the table again and said in a cool tone, "What's the matter?"
"Can't I call you without a reason? Do we have any brotherhood left or not? You and Leo Ford are really disloyal, leaving me alone and running off to Northwood."
"I'm here in Kingsharbor, so lonely, so bored, so pitiful." Perry lamented on the other end, but still didn't earn any sympathy from Caleb.
