Chapter 299: I'll be okay

''What's up? ''

Liu Wei closed his eyes, organizing the words in his mind.

''Baby? Are you there?''

Liling asked when she did not hear any response.

''Yeah… yes; … grandparents came back today…''

He finally said it; he shut his eyes briefly as he waited for her response.

No matter how Liling wanted to pretend that she was fine, the mention of grandparents sent shills down her spine;

''Wow… that's great; ''

She replied forcefully; her heart raced a little bit.

''We're having a family dinner tonight;… I will not be coming back today. ''

Liu Wei felt like slapping himself; he felt so miserable; he imagined how she would be feeling at that moment and it hurt him like a thousand blades, struck to his heart.

The phone call became eerily quiet. Liling could not find her words immediately such that it became obvious that she wasn't quite joyful.
