Ring, ring, ring.

Alvin heard his phone ring.

Instinctively, he quickly took out his phone and turned on the answer button. It was the same as when he was still at work.

“Hello, this is Weida Trading Company in A state…”

Halfway through speaking, Alvin realized that he had already left his job for a few days.

However, as his interpersonal relationship was too monotonous, his friends from his early years had gradually become estranged from him and no longer contact him over the phone. Those who would call him were usually the clients of the company. That was why he instinctively said the opening line that he had practiced countless times.

“Haha, you’re so dedicated.”

A burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone. It was Aurelia’s voice.

Alvin put the phone away and took a look. The number was indeed Aurelia’s.

But at some point in time, Aurelia had secretly changed the remark of the number to ‘Super Cute Wife.”

“Hello, this is Alvin.”

Alvin smiled and answered the call in a different way.

“Hello, Mr. Alvin. Is this the phone seduction service that you ordered?”

On the other end of the phone, Aurelia’s voice was light and agile. She joked with Alvin without any constraints.

The two of them continued to talk casually. For some reason, Alvin’s mood became more energetic as if he was a little younger.

“Let me tell you, there is a very delicious pizza shop here. I have never noticed it before…”

In the beginning, the two of them were chatting with each other. Alvin didn’t talk about the archery incident today because it was difficult to explain its cause and effect. He only told her about the lobster incident.

Subsequently, it was basically Aurelia’s solo show. She told Alvin about a series of things that happened when she was out of town.

There was a lot of nonsense, such as the clothes she was wearing, the color of the entrance of the shop, the attitude of the attendant, and so on. But Alvin was listening patiently.

“By the way,” Alvin interrupted her and asked, “After talking for so long, where have you been?”

This afternoon, Aurelia left in a hurry. Until now, Alvin didn’t know what she was doing or where she had been.

“Me? I’m in W state now.”

On the other end of the phone, Aurelia answered casually.

W state?

Alvin frowned. If he remembered correctly, that should be the place mentioned in the news today.

He somehow felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to think deeply, he heard another voice.

“Alvin, cover with this blanket…”

The floor-to-ceiling door was pushed open and came Camilla’s tender voice.

Camilla was holding a blanket in her arms. Obviously, she was still worried that it would be too cold outside, and she was afraid that Alvin would catch a cold.

Alvin quickly covered the phone with his hand. He did not know why he felt so guilty, but he still instinctively did so.

“Alvin, you’ll catch a cold. Cover yourself well.”

Camilla said as she threw the blanket at Alvin.

If others knew that the Graves family let their honored guest catch a cold on the balcony, it would be a great shame and impacted the family’s reputation. After all, hospitality was their tradition, especially to some talents. They were treated very well.

However, Alvin seemed to really want to stand on the balcony. She couldn’t go against the wishes of the guest and forcefully pull the guest back.

Therefore, Camilla thought that for the sake of the family’s reputation, it was better to bring Alvin something to keep out the cold.

After Camilla handed over the blanket, she suddenly thought of something.

Almost everyone around her knew that she liked poetry, but their attitudes towards this matter were all different.
