Yu Zhizhi was just about to change her shoes when the phone rang. She hesitated for a moment before walking over to the sofa.
Sometimes, Luther would call her about relatively important matters.
"Hello?" Yu Zhizhi answered the phone.
But the voice she expected to hear—Luther's—wasn't there.
The other end of the line was eerily silent.
Yu Zhizhi waited patiently for a moment, then whispered, "Hello...? Can you hear me?"
Louis stood nearby, his gaze lowered to the phone. It displayed [Unknown Number].
At the doorway, Yusen asked coolly, "Are we going?"
"Coming~"
Yu Zhizhi hung up.
'Maybe the signal's bad, or someone just dialed the wrong number.' She didn't give it another thought, simply walking to the door and bending down to put on her shoes.
「Elsewhere.」
The Duke sat in the pool, watching as the sky darkened and clouds began to gather.
The call had finally connected.
He heard the young female's soft, gentle voice, which he hadn't heard in so long.
