Chapter 405: Chapter 406 Anxious_l
She had sent the ssage while in the elevator, where there was no signal, so the ssage failed to send, and Atra Blanc never received her text!
Later in the Japanese restaurant, the cellphone signal was poor, and even if Atra Blanc tried to call her, she couldn’t get through. No wonder Alexander Sumrs ca looking for her in person—he must have been unable to reach her and was worried sothing had happened to her.
Upon realizing the cause and effect, Purple Sumrs looked up at Alexander Sumrs again, feeling not only timid but also a bit guilty…
She hesitated, but eventually spoke up, “I’m sorry, I didn’t notice my phone had no signal. Is Mom really worried?”
“Mhm,” Alexander Sumrs replied indifferently, betraying no emotion, “She made a whole table of dishes, waiting for you.”
Purple Sumrs felt the inexplicable sense of trepidation in her heart grow stronger.
Alexander Sumrs was clearly angry, and moreover, he was angry with her.
Based on past experiences, whenever Alexander Sumrs got angry, things never ended well for her…
Without thinking, Purple Sumrs reflexively covered her buttocks. She didn’t want to be spanked…
All the way ho, Purple Sumrs spent her ti in fear and trepidation.
After arriving ho, Alexander Sumrs parked the car and walked toward the small western-style building by himself.
Purple Sumrs stood by the car, sowhat bewildered. She hesitated for a mont, then hastened to catch up.
To follow, but not to follow too closely, she trailed behind him at a distance, like a guilty child walking with a sulky air.
Alexander Sumrs entered the house a step ahead of her. Purple Sumrs heard him tell Atra Blanc, “Nothing much, she was eating with friends. Just so happens the place they were eating at had poor signal.”
Anxious, Atra Blanc replied, “It’s good that nothing’s wrong. She said she would be back before lunch, but I couldn’t reach her by phone. It was quite worrying.”
Purple Sumrs spoke gloomily, “Mom, I’m sorry… I should have called you in advance…”
“Oh, it’s alright, you were out with friends. It’s natural to forget when you’re having fun,” Atra Blanc said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Purple.”
Purple Sumrs still appeared crestfallen.
Seeing this, Atra Blanc beca concerned and turned to Alexander Sumrs, “Did you scold your sister? Did you hit her?”
Purple Sumrs imdiately looked up, waving her hands frantically, “No, no! Brother didn’t scold , nor did he hit …”
She hoped he wouldn’t hit her later either…
Relieved, Atra Blanc asked Purple Sumrs if she was going to eat, and when Purple claid she had already eaten outside, Atra Blanc suggested she go rest in her room.
As Purple Sumrs went upstairs, she stopped at the corner for no apparent reason, and listened with a tilted ear to the noises coming from the dining room below.
She heard Atra Blanc say, “Did you lecture her on the way ho? Why does Purple look so listless? Alexander, she is a girl, a delicate girl, you can’t just lash out at her, especially since her psychological issues have only just started to improve. We must be even more careful…”
The old Purple was introverted and aloof, prone to mood swings, and had severe psychological disorders. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up going to extres.
Faced with Atra Blanc’s nagging, Alexander Sumrs gave a non-committal “Mhm,” said he had lost his appetite, and turned to go upstairs.
Atra Blanc had busily prepared a table full of dishes, and in the end, neither sibling wanted to eat—one had already eaten and the other had no appetite. She sighed heavily and set about clearing the tableware.
At the staircase corner, Purple Sumrs heard Alexander Sumrs’ footsteps heading upstairs, and her nerves tensed with fear. She quickly tiptoed back to her room, carefully closed the door, and pressed her ear against it to listen for any sound from outside.
Minutes felt like hours as she waited. Eventually, all she heard was the sound of a door opening, then the click of it closing.
Alexander Sumrs had returned to his room.
