Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Mysterious Woman on the Phone
The next day.
Elliana Lyle woke up very early, opening her eyes by five, and stared blankly at the dim ceiling for a full half hour
before slowly getting up.
Her pink and white feet stepped onto the plush carpet as she walked step by step towards the floor-to-ceiling
window. The lights in the yard were still on, making the snow piles on the ground look crystal clear.
The dim yellow light was like the early morning sun, warming the white snowy winter.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Elliana pressed her forehead against the glass window, feeling the cold outside.
She didn’t know how much tpassed when the lights outside automatically turned off, and Elliana’s figure was
no longer in the room.
At this moment, in the first-floor lobby, Elliana was sitting at the dining table slowly drinking hot millet porridge.
After finishing this bowl, she decided to go out for a stroll.
Since she started acting, she hadn't gone shopping for a while, except once when Norman Bennett took her to
the amusement park.
Half an hour later, a black Mercedes GLS drove to the roadside of the mall. It wasn’t until a petite woman in a
cream-colored chunky knit sweater and a mid-length pleated skirt got out that it drove to the underground
parking lot.
Elliana had a pure white thick scarf wrapped around her neck, almost covering most of her face, and her
beautiful almond eyes were hidden under sunglasses.
Looking around, the shopping mall was crowded everywhere, not at all less crowded because of the cold
weather. Honestly, the city was indeed warmer, and the ground couldn't hold the snow.
She stood for quite a while, not knowing what she chere to do.
Should she buy clothes? It seemed unnecessary. Eat something good? She wasn’t particularly hungry.
"Baby, what movie do you want to watch?"
"Let's see inside, | don’t really know what to watch either."
The passing conversation of a couple piqued her interest. After high school, it seemed she never went to a
cinema again.
Having a goal in mind, she went directly into the mall; the cinema was on the top floor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause it was New Year, the cinema was decorated festively, with all kinds of movie posters on the walls.
Among them was the largest promotional poster!
It was actually Eleanor Llyod’s new movie!
The movie was titled "Interstellar Encounter," and besides the names and characters, there was a big line
saying, "Meeting you on the first day of the New Year."
"This movie is great. It’s my first twatching a sci-fi movie, and no wonder it reached a hundred million at the
box office just after releasing. I've suddenly beca fan of Eleanor Llyod, and Rupert and Yates Zander are so
handsome."
"Well, it's just like that. Eleanor Llyod’s acting is always the same; I'm actually tired of it. I'm here for Rupert."
People coming out of the cinema were discussing.
Elliana stood by the aisle, staring intently at that poster, but her thoughts were not on the poster.
She was somewhat surprised that Eleanor Llyod becfamous so quickly. In her past life, Eleanor Llyod also
got popular because of "South Wind Song," but she actually becfamous two years later.
Now Eleanor’s rise to fwas so early, and it was under the premise that Shane Southwell had left the country,
left Roland.
Needless to say, Eleanor Llyod indeed had sabilities, but it was utterly impossible for her to watch Eleanor’s
movie right now.
In the end, she left the cinema straight away and bought a cup of red bean paste milk tea from a nearby tea
shop.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Several cars were parked outside Moonlake Villas, and getting out of the second car was none other than
Norman Bennett.
Just last night, Butler Lewis at Moonlake Villas notified him, that’s how he learned that the little girl had returned
on the second day of the New Year.
According to Butler Lewis, Elliana had gone out once the day after returning. After she cback, she stayed in
her room, rarely seen except for eating and drinking.
Entering through the front door, he saw Elliana, wearing thick pajamas, burning something in the yard.
The whole yard was filled with the ashes of burnt items. The little girl, with her back to him, was staring blankly
at the burning pile.
Among the burning papers, besides the spirit money for her mother, were her written memories from her past
life. After returning on the third day, she had meticulously organized these memories, writing everything down
on paper, comparing the events that had already happened.
She hoped to burn these for her mother too, wishing that in heaven, her mom might understand her and know
that what she’s about to do is not evil.
"Girl."
In her daze, Elliana seemed to hear Norman's voice. She initially thought it was an illusion, an illusion so strong
that she sensed the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Only when a pair of warm hands pulled her over into a warm, fragrant embrace did she completely cto her
senses.
A subtle joy arose in her heart, and even a slight smile appeared on her face, although it was fleeting, leaving
behind only confusion and emotion.
After regaining her composure, Elliana threaded her arms through the man’s black coat, hugging his waist
tightly, pressing her face against his chest, feeling the warm heat.
"Why are you back?" her voice carried a hint of grievance, yet it seemed to contain joyful excitement and
reproach.
"Shouldn't | be asking you that? Hmm?"
"..." Elliana recalled something but said nothing, instead hugging the man tighter.
"Good girl."
The man slightly sighed, resignedly, and touched the little girl's head. The fire in his sight had dwindled, leaving
only a heap of black ash.
Norman, of course, knew the little girl was burning paper money for her mother. He had experienced such pain
before.
"Girl, you still have me."
"..." Elliana initially said nothing, and after a long while, all that could be heard was a soft hum.
At this moment, the phone rang, but Norman did not pick it up immediately; instead, he lifted Elliana and carried
her inside.
After entering, just as the ringtone was about to end, Norman answered the call.
Elliana sat obediently on the sofa as Lana cin with a package, crouched on the floor searching for a while,
then took out an exquisite lunch box.
"Madam, the old lady made dumplings this morning, and she specially askedto bring them over for you to
taste." As Lana opened the box, a few wisps of steam emerged.
Elliana quickly took the lunch box; this was a token from Norman's grandmother, and she had to eat it while it
was hot so as not to let her down.
The man answering the call had no intention of avoiding her, and instead pulled her over with one arm.
Sitting in the man’s lap, she also heard the voice on the phone.
"Found him?"
Norman's tone was not particularly pleasant.
"Yes, right, found him. Where are you now? I'm planning to return to XRB tomorrow and wanted to invite you to
dinner today."
A rather bright male voice cfrom the phone, the kind that makes you feel he must be handsome.
"Just got back," Norman replied.
Elliana earnestly ate her dumplings one bite at a time, not really paying attention to the call, until she was
surprised by the taste - it was mushroom and lbeef, which... seemed only her odd taste enjoyed.
The man touched her head, and Elliana understood that Norman knew she loved this filling, which warmed her
heart deeply, full of appreciation, and she ate with delight to show her gratitude.
Everything was fine until an agitated female voice on the phone caught her attention!
"Who are you calling? Is it Norman Bennett?"
"Norman Bennett, you shameless man! Can't even control your own wife. How can you blme! Your wife
loves playing with me! You lack the ability..."
"Hey! Con! Listen! Sit down!" Following that canother line: "Norman Bennett, splace, can’t wait,
hey! Don’t grab..."
Then cthe sound of chaos, followed by the beep of the call ending.
Meanwhile, Elliana also turned her questioning gaze towards Norman.
ps: Thanks to all the "Buddy"s who cevery day to read this dumb book. Another day of loving you all.
