Chapter 132: Aresh’s intention [2]
At the same time, Knox’s phone rang and all of their shoulders jumped in surprise. He nervously fished it out of his pockets and panic spread in his face after seeing his half-sister’s number on the screen.
He was frozen in his seat. Cold sweat formed on his forehead and trickled down his temple. He gulped and contemplated what to do.
Everyone gathered and peeked on the phone, and when they saw the name above the digits, they all fell into silence.
Ragel pressed his lips inwardly, feeling a bit sorry that he suddenly possessed the lips of a devil making his words come true.
Rian pitifully looked at the omega whose anxiety and fear were painted all over his face. He pointed at the phone and said, "Why don’t you answer? Hear what she’s about to say first, then if she already knows, convince her. If you need help, I can talk to her. I’m very persuasive. I’ll tell her we just pranked the director and he bit on it, and that we’re just testing how much of a blabbermouth he is."
"I’m sure his sister isn’t that too stupid to believe you," Azrael chipped in. He looked at Knox and suggested, "If she insists on taking you back, let’s elope."
Knox frowned. Where will all his effort go if they just resort to escaping again?
It was easier for Azrael to say those, but for him, who had been recently recognized by his family he wanted to have ever since, couldn’t even think about it. But if he said that out loud, Azrael would only be hurt.
He didn’t want to be torn and ended up choosing between them. He was greedy and selfish, yes, but if there’s something he still can do to keep both, then he won’t just give up. Knox sighed and stood, he excused himself and walked away, answering the phone reluctantly.
