Chapter 656 Lauraâs mouth twitched, âYour friend is quite special.â
Marie:âShe rarely interacted with children and found it refreshing.â
The meal was ready, and a few people gathered around a round table, ready to eat. Just at that moment, Lauraâs phone rang.
She picked up Menu her phone and glanced at it, saying to Marie, âIs the New York number for you?â
Marie:âI didnât know either, you answer it and see.â
Laura answered the phone, âHello, how can I help you? Is there something you need to talk about?â
The other person said something.
Laura looked up at Marie and said, âYes, she was at my house.â
Saying that, Laura handed the phone to Marie, âItâs for you, they said itâs your friend.â
Marie took the phone and said, âHello?â
Upon hearing her voice, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, a familiar male voice came from the phone, deep and magnetic, âMarie, are you okay? I couldnât reach you.â
Marie still hadnât spoken, and Lennon continued, âI called you over a hundred times today, but none of them went through. I also sent messages, but there was no reply. I was going crazy with worry.â
âI called Caylee and Fiona, they both said they didnât know where you went. Then I went to your law firm, and they told me you went to Los Angeles to find someone named Laura.â
Lennon sounded anxious, âI saw the news about the flood in Los Angeles and I was really worried about you, Marie. Why couldnât I reach you on the phone? Has something happened?â
Marie hesitated for a moment and pursed her lips, saying, âIâm fine, itâs just that my phone accidentally fell into the water.â
There was a moment of silence on Lennonâs side before he muttered, âI donât know why someone couldnât just lend me a phone to make a call. I was worried sick.â
Marie subconsciously replied, âI dropped my phone in the water last night, and it has only been one day, not even twentyâfour hours. How would I know that you would contact me? And besides, I...â
Marie hesitated for a moment and said nervously, âI also didnât remember your phone number.â
