Chapter 409 - He was always right (1/2)

The next morning....

It was 5.35 a.m. when Ryn stirred from her slumber. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.

What time is it?

Her eyes looked around but it was too dark for her to recognize the place. Groaning, she sat up and tried to find a switch to light up the room.

Maybe because she was so used to staying at the hotel, her hands automatically found switches for the lights. She blinked her eyes at the sudden attack of the light despite the dimness.

”Oh God,” she groaned as she tried to get used to the light. She remembered now that she was in a hotel room but she was too drowsy to remember why she was here.

She pushed the blanket off her and stepped onto the floor. Her feet automatically brought her into the bathroom to do her business. Then, she returned back to the bed and sat there... blankly.

She stared at the wall as her mind was hit by the memory of yesterday.

Jeremy. Harry. And the stupid argument.

She groaned as she rubbed her face. The stupid argument that almost risked her relationship with Jeremy.

”Is this what we will face in our future, J?” she asked slowly... to no one. She lied back on the bed, heaving a heavy sigh. She did not like this at all. She hated this silly little argument but it did not mean she would allow him to control her life.

She closed her eyes, trying not to let any drop of tear escaped from her eyes. She felt tired. She wanted to escape from all of this.

”Mom...” she choked out and reached out to get her phone. She groaned when she remembered she switched off her phone. She quickly switched it on and groaned again with the non-stopping notifications from Jeremy.

It seems like Jeremy never gave up on trying to contact her.

She ignored the missed calls and messages and went straight to call her mother. But, before she made the call, she finally remembered to check the time.

”Great...” It was only 6.15 am. Her mother was still asleep. And she did not want to disturb her sleep.

”Mom, what should I do now?” she murmured, dropping the phone beside her. She lied back and stared up at the ceiling. She desperately needed her mother's advice now but it was too early to call her.

All she could do now was to sleep. Maybe sleeping would be the answer to her dilemma.

*~*~*~*

Jeremy woke up with displeased on his face. Instead of checking what the tine was, he reached for his phone toncheck whether she has replied to any of his calls and messages.

None.

It did not seem as if she even read any of the messages he gave. It made him even angrier.

How dare she ignored him?

Far from being regretful of what he did yesterday, his only thought was to 'punish' Ryn for ignoring him. It has been almost a full day and she still refused to get back to him?

He ran his hands through his hair before rubbing his own face.

Calm down, Jeremy. Calm down.

Right now, the most important thing is to find her. Whether you want to punish her for her outrage action or ask for her forgiveness, it should br the second thing.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
