Chapter 658: 658: Take advantage while I haven't blocked you

She cleaned herself up, removed her makeup, took a bath, and comfortably got into bed. Only then did she leisurely call Cindy Clarke.

But Cindy wasn’t able to deal with her right now.

She was being entangled by Adrian Zhekova, both her arms and hands trapped, unable to move.

How could she reach for her mobile phone?

Furthermore, her mind was in a daze at this point, not even knowing where she had left her phone.

She only heard the continuous ringing of her phone.

“My phone is ringing.” Cindy patted Adrian’s shoulder to remind him.

“Ignore it; probably just some sales advertisement.” Adrian muttered softly.

Cindy couldn’t help but say, “Who would make sales calls in the middle of the night?”

“Anybody who calls at this time of night clearly doesn’t know better.” Adrian still had no intention of answering the call, nor did he want to give the phone to Cindy.

“You can’t just let the phone keep ringing.” Cindy’s face was flushed, and sweat dropped from Adrian’s forehead onto her cheeks.

Adrian thought about it and agreed; the phone’s ringtone was annoying and disrupted the atmosphere.

But he didn’t want to reach for the phone to end the call now, so he said, “Just let it ring; whoever it is will stop calling if no one answers a few times.”

Cindy had no choice but to go along with him.

Wendy Clarke, however, thought that Cindy was not answering the phone because she was uneasy, afraid to answer her call!

Therefore, she became even more relentless.

When the call ended due to no one picking up, Wendy redialled.

As a result, Cindy’s phone started ringing again after only a few seconds of silence.

Now Adrian was really annoyed; he had to reach over and grab Cindy’s phone.

Without looking at who was calling, he hung up.

Fearing that the caller would persistently call back, he turned off the phone altogether.

“Now it’s quiet.” Adrian happily kissed Cindy’s lips.

So when Wendy called again, the voice prompt informed her that Cindy’s phone was turned off.

Wendy threw her phone onto the bed in annoyance and sneered, “As I thought, she’s scared, not even daring to answer the call.”

Wendy scoffed, muttering to herself, “She thinks that by not answering the call, she’ll be fine? If she can, let her keep her phone off for the rest of her life! Now that I’m in Belfard, I won’t let her dodge me again.”

Cindy couldn’t keep her phone off forever. She could change her number by the end of the month, but Wendy was confident she could find Cindy’s new number no matter how many times she changed it.

Cindy couldn’t run this time!

***

Due to the upcoming New Year, the Cooking Competition was suspended and would resume after the holiday.

Early the next morning, with the Cooking Competition on hold and nothing else to do, Cindy was able to sleep in.

And last night, the stir caused by Adrian Zhekova had a significant impact, so she couldn’t get up at this point.

Usually, Cindy prepared breakfast for Adrian, but today she simply couldn’t.

So Aunt Jenkins prepared breakfast for Adrian and Morgan Zhekova.

After finishing breakfast, Adrian returned to the bedroom.

He kissed Cindy’s forehead, his gentle and moist touch waking her up.

She forced her eyelids open a bit and heard Adrian softly say, “I’m going to work now; you keep sleeping.”

Cindy sweetly murmured her agreement.

Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she lacked the strength to even nod at this point.

She simply gave Adrian a brief response before continuing to sleep.

Adrian chuckled and said to himself how she usually exercised and cooked, yet she had no stamina now.

It seemed he was too strong for her.

Adrian was in a great mood, kissing Cindy’s forehead and happily leaving the room.

Once Cindy fell asleep, she didn’t know anything else.

She slept heavily, not knowing how long it had been.

She drowsily woke up once in the middle, picked up her phone to check the time.

Realizing that Adrian had turned off the phone last night, she powered it on to see that it was only 10 am.

Since Adrian and Morgan were not at home, she decided to continue sleeping.

She slept for a considerable amount of time before being woken up by the ringing of her phone.

Cindy stretched for her phone and saw an unfamiliar number displayed, with no name indicated.

Apparently, it was not in her contacts, nor was it marked as harassment or sales advertisement.

Cindy answered the call: “Hello?”

She wasn’t fully awake yet, and her voice was still heavy with sleep and slightly weak.

As Wendy heard Cindy’s voice, she instantly knew Cindy was still sleeping.

Wendy almost laughed from anger.

What a big heart Cindy had – or did she have a strong backing and feel fearless?

She could actually still sleep!

Was Cindy not worried at all?

Wendy sneered and then said, “Cindy, it’s me, your sister.”

“Wendy?” Cindy had no intention of treating Wendy as her sister right now.

She only reluctantly acknowledged Wendy as her sister when necessary.

However, this situation clearly wasn’t one that required her to call Wendy her sister.

So Cindy was rude to Wendy.

“Cindy, when we were still in Nork City, you would at least call me sister. What? Now that you’re married into the Zhekova Family, have a support, and become the young Madam, you look down on your own family and won’t even call me sister? You even dare to call me by my name?” Wendy said coldly.

Cindy was mostly awake by now and sat up, leaning on the headboard, rubbing her eyes, trying to become more alert.

“What do you want from me?” Cindy’s attitude was very unfriendly.

This attitude infuriated Wendy, who had never seen Cindy so defiant before.

It was evident that marrying Adrian gave Cindy confidence and made her disregard Wendy.

Wendy felt helpless and small in Cindy’s eyes, unworthy of respect like little insects.

This feeling of being looked down upon by Cindy was unbearable for Wendy.

How could she accept the fact that she was inferior to Cindy her whole life, and the gap between them was so vast now?

Wendy’s face twisted, unable to speak. So, she didn’t immediately answer Cindy’s question.

Cindy impatiently said, “You better finish talking before I block you.”

Cindy’s attitude severely provoked Wendy, who was already livid and feeling extremely unbalanced psychologically.

It further solidified Wendy’s belief that Cindy was fearless because she had a strong backing.

Wendy felt extremely jealous; if only she could swap places with Cindy and have such significant support.
