Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (15)_1
Howard Coleman slumped on the master bedroom’s sofa, reaching out to touch his phone when he accidentally pulled out the shopping voucher Anita Madris had left him.
He stared at the eleven digits on the voucher for a while, then picked up his phone, his expression deepening as he gazed at the lock screen’s ti digits. His finger slid subconsciously down the screen, typing in the password and unlocking it.
Howard opened his phone’s dial pad; he had looked at the eleven numbers several tis tonight and had already morized them. Nonetheless, he once again bowed his head to look at the phone number on the voucher. Even after a year, Anita’s handwriting was as delicate and fluid as ever. Swallowing hard twice, as if sothing was compelling him, his fingers involuntarily tapped out the number on the keypad. Then his fingers hesitated, bending and straightening repeatedly, but after several tis, he still didn’t press the call button. Instead, he tossed the phone aside and leaned back on the sofa, looking rather listless. He raised his hand to gaze at the glaringly bright crystal lamp on the ceiling and couldn’t help but lift his hand to cover his eyes.
During the days Anita was sent abroad by her father with money in hand, he had frantically searched for her to the point of madness!
He had no idea which country she had gone to, and he racked his brains trying to find out her flight information, but soone obstructed him, and in the end, there was no news.
Even during that ti, he held on to the hope that perhaps she never left the country. He had waited under the apartnt she once rented, searched for her in the cafes she liked, and walked through the malls she frequented… but all those efforts still culminated in a silent ending without a trace of her.
...
As ti passed and days lengthened, the pain in his heart was undeniable, but he gradually gave up the search. Still, occasionally, when he was alone, in the dead of night, he would rember the woman nad Anita Madris who once gave him that wonderful feeling of a heart racing in excitent.
In fact, during the more than two hundred days since she left, he was always wondering when she would return, and when he would unexpectedly encounter her again.
At that ti, he thought, he would definitely be excited and happy to see her.
But he never expected… when that day actually arrived, he found to his surprise that his heart wasn’t filled with the joy he had imagined, and even… he felt a kind of indescribable sense of disorientation.
Howard let his arm fall from his eyes, picked up his phone again, and looked at the eleven digits he had entered. His throat moved slightly, and then he pressed the call button.
About ten seconds later, the call connected with a beeping sound.
As the phone call went through, the image of Madeleine suddenly flashed across Howard’s mind, and his expression instantly stiffened. He felt a strange, unexplainable anxiety weighing on his heart, which made his hand clench tighter around the phone. Then he heard the sound of the call connecting, and Anita’s invariably gentle tone ca through: “Hello?”
Howard, hearing the voice that he had longed for so desperately for a long ti, grew even more anxious inside. Without uttering a word, he abruptly hung up the phone.
