Seeing that the person calling her was Jefferson, her cries grew louder, venting her pent-up longing. Although she had previously been confident in leaving Jefferson to avoid being a nuisance, reality, however, didn't live up to her expectations. She had hoped to forget him completely, but she couldn't. Was this the result of Jefferson's constant pampering?
Now she was curious as to why Jefferson had suddenly contacted her, even though they hadn't spoken since their conversation at the mall. Her right thumb trembled as she swiped the screen of her phone to answer the call.
"Ella, are you okay?"
Hearing Jefferson's panicked tone, her cheeks immediately flushed. He hadn't even told her what had happened. Because Jefferson cared so much for her up until this moment, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Jeff…"
"Are you crying? Is it because you're afraid of lightning?"
