The voice was slightly unfamiliar, and Ruby Gregory couldn’t discern who it was. She wasn’t particularly curious and only threw a casual glance, but then she found the woman in the woods strangely familiar.
Ruby’s steps suddenly halted. She stared at the woman, pondered for a while, then it dawned on her. This was the sa woman who was talking with Steve Burton under the pavilion at the backdoor of the party last night.
Ruby vaguely rembered the woman, her na was Charlotte Madris.
Charlotte Madris… Wasn’t she the close friend of Olivia Foster that Steve ntioned this morning at breakfast?
What was she doing here, sobbing all by herself?
Just as Ruby was puzzled, Charlotte suddenly yelled into the phone, “It’s one thing to send to Italy, but why make choose a major that takes seven years to complete? Seven years? Seven years! By the ti I co back, all my friends in Ciawell will have gotten married and started families. I don’t want to go to Italy, I don’t want to go to Italy!”
“Why don’t I get a say? I’ve already co back from my postgraduate studies in
Buranda, isn’t my education enough? I don’t want to go to school anymore!”
“Mom, don’t pressure like this. Please discuss it with dad and try not to send abroad, okay?”
“What, this wasn’t your decision? If it wasn’t your decision, I don’t want to hear it! Do you really have the heart to banish to stay alone in Italy for seven years?”
“Afraid of upsetting the Burtons?”
The Burtons? How are they involved in this?
Like Charlotte, Ruby furrowed her brows deeply.
Then Charlotte voiced the question in Ruby’s heart: “What does this have to do with the Burtons?”
“What?!” Charlotte’s expression turned awful for a mont at sothing said on the other end of the phone. “It’s Madam Burton’s idea?”
Madam Burton?
Steve’s mother?
Ruby was growing increasingly confused.
“Why would Madam Burton, who doesn’t even know , suddenly send off to Italy?”
“It’s related to Steve?”
As soon as Charlotte finished her sentence, she hung up the phone and dialed another number. Perhaps holding the phone next to her ear for so long had beco uncomfortable, Charlotte switched on the speaker. After five rings, soone picked up. Before anyone could speak, Charlotte blurted out, “Mr. Burton, could you please plead with your mother not to send to Italy? I don’t want to go…”
Before Charlotte could finish speaking, a familiar tone that Ruby knew all too well ca from the other end of the line, crisp yet indifferent, only four words:
“Bon voyage.”
Then, without waiting for Charlotte’s reaction, the call was abruptly ended.
When Charlotte tried to call again, she was t with a busy signal.
