章 80: Mr. James's surprise

"Hello, Mr. James. How are you doing? It's been a while. How is aunty?" Carol said into the phone.

"Ah, thank God, Carol dear. I'm doing as well as can be. I was beginning to worry that something evil had befallen you and my boy. My wife and I have been calling you and him for some time now, but haven't got any response yet. I hope you both are doing okay."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, Mr. James. The thing is that I've been ill for the past three days and I'm just getting myself back, so I turned off my phones and wasn't taking any calls. I think that’s why you were not able to reach me."

"I'm sorry about that, my dear. I hope you're better now."

"Yes, I am."

"And your husband? He has not been taking my calls, which is very unlike him. We had a little altercation before I left, but I thought that we had resolved it. I don't know why he is not taking my calls all of a sudden. Is he well?"
