Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2031: Chapter 2041: How Many Times Must You Disappoint Me?

The old man’s eyes were swollen from crying, his whole body slumped on the ground, weeping bitterly. Anyone could feel the sadness and despair of the person in the photo; it was just a simple photo, yet the overwhelming despair it conveyed was stifling.

Skye Lawrence stared at the photo, her beautiful and heroic jawline tensed tightly. She wanted to make herself look away, not to care.

But she couldn’t.

Her gaze was like it had been nailed to the photo, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t look away from it.

Her chest felt as if it were being pressed by a huge stone, making it difficult to breathe...

Suddenly.

The phone vibrated.

This time it wasn’t a text message but a call from Nicholas Lawrence.

Skye hesitated briefly before putting the phone to her ear, her lips parted slightly, ”Hello...”

The sound of static crackled from the other end, each crackle striking at her heart. She involuntarily gripped the phone tightly, her heartbeat skipped two beats.

”Hello, Dad?” Skye couldn’t contain herself the first time and called again.

This time, the person on the other end finally spoke, ”Where are you now?”

It was Nicholas’ voice!

Skye didn’t know why he was asking this, but she replied, ”I’m in Pacifica.”

”When are you planning to come back?”

Skye frowned in confusion and asked him, ”What’s happened, Dad?”

Why was he suddenly concerned about when she’d come back?

The person on the other end remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice filled with deep exhaustion, ”Do you know about Rhine’s incident this time?”

Rhine’s incident this time!

Skye’s heart felt like it was struck hard by a pendulum swing ride!

While holding her breath, she pretended not to know and said, ”What incident with Rhine?”

”You don’t know?”

Skye responded quickly, ”I don’t know, I’m still on vacation in Pacifica, how would I know about Rhine’s matter? Dad, what happened to Rhine?”

”...”

There was another suffocating silence from the other end.

Every second of silence was a torment to her inner self, and finally, when she could hardly hold back from explaining proactively, the person on the other end spoke at last, ”Skye, how much more disappointment do you intend to cause me before you’re finally satisfied?”

How much more disappointment do you intend to cause me before you’re finally satisfied?

That simple sentence felt like a harsh slap across her face.

Skye gritted her teeth and said, ”I don’t know what you mean, what have I done?”

”What do you think? What did you do? You’re the one who knows best, don’t you? You say you don’t know about Rhine’s incident, really? Considering your concern for Baron, Rhine got into such a big accident, do you not know? Yet just a moment ago, what did you say to me? You said you’re on vacation, so you don’t know. Even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe that, and you dare to say it to me!”

If she had openly admitted to knowing about it, he might not have been so disappointed.

Skye instinctively distanced herself from the matter, which was the same as admitting she was involved.

”I had someone bring you the wedding jewelry your mom left for you, hoping you’d come to your senses and let it go. But what happened? You’re still stubborn, more so than before. Skye, think about what you’ve done. Before you did all this, did you not consider the possibility of an accident? Or did you anticipate there might be an accident from the start, but you didn’t care at all. Were you hoping for an accident just so the situation would escalate even more?”
