Felton suddenly rang up from overseas.
Tammy answered, âFelton, is that you?â
A pleasant young voice came over the phone, âIf itâs not me, who could it be?
What, you didnât save my number?â
âI did.â Tammy chirped, âJust wasnât sure, wanted to confirm it with you.âConfirm what?â
âConfirm if itâs really you. Felton, you do realize how long itâs been since we last talked, right?â
Felton paused for a moment, âYeah, Iâve been busy with stuff after moving abroad.â
âAll done now?â
âMore or less.â
âLet me guess, you didnât call me just because you were bored and wanted to chat, right?â
Felton kept silent for a few seconds, his clean and pleasant voice carrying some indistinct emotions, âDid my brother get engaged to Nikita?â
This time, it was Tammy who fell silent.
It was common knowledge that Felton had a thing for Nikita.
A big part of Feltonâs decision to study abroad was related to Nikita. He didnât want to see his brother and Nikita all lovey-dovey, so he chase to leave, out of sight, out of mind.
Someone who chose to run away from his feelings by going abroad was now bringing up Nikita.
Tammy thought he might have been triggered, and after a moment of silence, she hesitated about how to comfort him, âYou saw Sheehanâs announcement, didnât you? Theyâve been together for a while now.
You should have been prepared for this.â
Itâs only an engagement now.
Theyâre going to get married and have kids in the future.
If Felton couldnât handle this, was he going to stay abroad forever?
âYeah, I saw it.â Feltonâs voice didnât reveal any emotions, steady as ever, âGive me Nikitaâs contact information, I want to chat with her a bit.â
Tammy widened her eyes, âFelton, youâre not a kid anymore, youâ¦â
âIâm not going to cause trouble for Nikita, donât worry. We were classmates, and sheâs going to be my sister-in-law. Itâs only right for me to congratulate her.â
The one who wanted to add her was named âMysteryâ, and the verification column read: I am Felton.
She might have been staring at her phone for too long, Sheehan came over while drying his hair, âWhat are you looking at?â
Nikita hesitated, then said, âFelton wants to add me.â
âFelton?â
Sheehan paused while drying his hair, came over to her and looked at her phone, âWhat does he want to add you for?â
Nikita shook her head, âI donât know.â
Tammy and the others rarely contacted Felton.
And she had absolutely no contact with him.
So, it felt a bit weird when Felton suddenly wanted to add her.
âAccept it, see what he wants.â Sheehan said.
Nikita nodded and accepted the request.
The chat with Felton popped up.
Felton: I am Felton.
Before Nikita could figure out how to reply, Felton sent another one: Since youâre engaged to my brother, shouldnât you give me a gift?
Nikita was confused.
She didnât expect Felton to add her to ask for a giftâ¦
Sheehan also saw the message, he squinted and chuckled, âThis brat seems to have come to terms with it âIgnore him, Iâll reply.â
