Vivian murmured over the phone to Ethan Hayes, "So I can't help tutor you this afternoon. How about rescheduling to tomorrow morning? I can help you with tutoring all day then."

Ethan Hayes furrowed his elegant eyebrows tightly, remained silent for a moment, and then replied in a bland tone over the phone, "Whatever you want."
"Then it's settled. See you tomorrow morning!" Vivian responded cheerfully after receiving Ethan's answer.
"Oh." Ethan acknowledged briefly and then directly hung up the phone.
Liam Shaw cautiously watched Ethan Hayes's expression, hesitated for a moment, but eventually swallowed and softly asked, "Hey, Ethan...??"
Ethan Hayes put his phone back in his pocket, raised his head, and said to Liam Shaw with a blank expression, "No tutoring this afternoon; let's play ball."
