บท 74: TO SEE YOU FALL ASLEEP

"Well…" Hailee said softly, shuffling around to give her brain enough time to assemble the right words. "I wish you called me."

In the end, Hailee couldn't think of a proper excuse and preferred to be honest. She then closed her eyes while twisting the ends of her hair which she tied on top of her head. Waiting for Ramon's response to her bold statement.

However, after waiting for a while, Ramon did not respond. Instead, Hailee heard the sound of something rubbing and clinking.

"Ramon? What are you doing?" Hailee asked.

"My dinner has just delivered," said Ramon.

It seemed that the sounds Hailee heard earlier were the ones when Ramon put his plate on the table and a glass of water for him.

"Oh," Hailee muttered. It was not wrong that Lexus had asked if Ramon had eaten or not, because it was already late like this, and he was just about to start his dinner. "Then just turn off the phone so you can eat."

"No, speak up," said Ramon. "I'm busy this afternoon so I didn't call you."
