Chapter 404: Why Did You Meet Them?

He Xiyan froze for a moment and bit her lips tightly. She felt her entire heart clench at the employee’s words.

He had already knocked off work but he was still not home.

The employee continued, “Mrs. Ye, why don’t you drop Mr. Ye a call?” He could see how anxious she was and guessed that she was looking for him because of something urgent.

He Xiyan gripped her cell phone so tightly that it was as though she was about to squeeze it into pieces. She unlocked her phone and paused for a moment before she tried dialing his number again.

The familiar ringtone rang in her ears and as the seconds ticked by… she was practically counting the seconds it took for him to pick up his phone. Suddenly, the ringtone came to an abrupt halt and a familiar voice sounded.

“I’ll be back soon. Rest well first.”

Then, the line was cut off and He Xiyan didn’t even manage to get a word in.

She stood in the reception hall and kept blinking her teary eyes. She ended up staying so long that it wasn’t until the employee lay down at his desk to rest that she turned to leave this building.

Since she didn’t know where else he could have gone, she could only return back to the castle.

This time, she drove very slowly and it took her twice the amount of time to return to the castle.

When she returned, she saw that the lights in their room were lit and the moment she entered, the pungent scent of alcohol and smoke immediately greeted her.

She stopped in surprise and turned to look at the man who sat on the sofa with his eyes tightly closed. That was her husband, so she could tell at first glance how annoyed and upset he was.
