Chapter 550

Closing her eyes, she prepared to get some rest.

The bus drove smoothly, the scenery outside the window was beautiful,

and before long they had got to the coastal area.

The cloudless sky was transparently blue and pure, reaching out to the

end of the endless deep blue sea. The golden sunlight in the afternoon

was sprinkled lavishly on the undulating sea, twinkling like diamonds.

In about half an hour, they would get to the seaside town.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang.

Joyce was jolted awake, and she hesitated for a moment. Although the

sound was coming from her, it was not the ringtone of her cell phone.

Luther was still asleep, and even the piercing and abrupt ringing could

not wake him up.

Joyce reckoned it should be Luther's phone. She retrieved it from his

suit pocket and sure enough, it was his phone ringing.

When she saw the name on the screen, her sharp eyes instantly

narrowed and her expression was grave.

It said, “Charlotte”.

So it was Charlotte who called Luther. Then shouldn't she make good

use of the chance and stimulate Charlotte a bit? This pretentious and

cruel-hearted woman! Now that she had seen Charlotte's true colors,

how could she let her go so easily?

Joyce sneered.

She pressed the answer button straight away and put it to her ear,

deliberately asking in a soft voice, "Hello, Charlotte, what's up?"

Charlotte was obviously stunned and her voice changed, "Joyce, how

come it's you? where's Luther?"

Joyce's lips curled up in a sly smile, "Oh, he's asleep next to me. He's

tired, so if you're in a hurry, I'l wake him up for you."

She deliberately made the words unclear and ambiguous.

It's easy for her to misunderstand.

“No, no need, and I'm in no hurry." Charlotte's voice on the phone

sounded desperately restrained.

Joyce sneered, and she could almost imagine that Charlotte would

want to tear her apart if she were in front of her right now.

“Oh, Charlotte, I just want to see how are you going to keep your acting

when you get so desperate.” Joyce thought inwardly.

“You can also tell me exactly what's going on and I'll pass it on when he

wakes up.” Joyce continued to irritate Charlotte, "If you don't mind."

“I was ... I just wanted to tell him I was in the military hospital ..."

Charlotte hesitated for a moment and just said, "Can he come over

after he wakes up."

"Oh, that might be difficult. We're on a trip right now." Joyce's lips

curved higher, her voice deliberately delicate, "You should know about

this place. A new spot on the beach not far away from the city. It's really

pretty. He won't be back for a while, so how about tomorrow?"

Charlotte just had to grit her teeth and answer, "Okay."

Joyce deliberately told the time when they would go back.

He was asleep, he was very tired, they were on a trip, and they would

not return until tomorrow ...

Anyone who was not stupid would think that she and Luther were at

this moment having a rendezvous on the beach. They were having

quite a good time together and they would spend the night together.

“Charlotte, you should be quite furious by now.”

Joyce was thinking about it when Luther suddenly moved.

She was acutely aware that he might be waking up soon.

She hurriedly feigned a yawn and said to Charlotte, “I'm hanging up,

I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap too. Talk to you later."

In the meantime, Luther had gotten up from her lap.

Joyce's hands were quick and she immediately cut the call.
