Chapter 285: Chapter 285: They All Want to Do Well (7)

She didn’t look too much into it, took out her phone, Axel and the others were already home, Axel had finished taking a shower and was getting ready to go to bed. Before going to bed, he sent her a Whatsapp message, implying that she shouldn’t be mad at his dad anymore, and that he was waiting for his dad to take them both home.

Having seen the Whatsapp message, Carolline replied with one line telling Axel to sleep early, followed by a simple goodnight before ending the conversation.

Right around that time, Bryan Cooper’s phone started ringing as well. It must have been urgent since it kept ringing continuously. Bryan, however, showed no intention of coming out to answer it. Impatient at the incessant ringing, Bryan came out, "Carolline, can you answer the call for me? I’m grinding coffee beans."

Having said that, Bryan turned around and disappeared back into the kitchen, as if he was really busy.

"..." Carolline was a little speechless. Was it really that hard for him to answer the phone while grinding coffee beans?

She really didn’t want to answer the call for him, especially considering that she hadn’t figured out how their future together would unfold. But it seemed that no matter how much she thought about it, there was only one path to choose from.

The people around her wanted her and Bryan to be together, didn’t they?

The most important thing was that Axel desired this greatly, and she couldn’t imagine going against his wishes.

Additionally, over the past five years, she had rejected every man who came her way. Just as her father had said, she couldn’t let go of Bryan. Indeed, it was impossible for her to do so.

When he declared that he would never marry, she subconsciously made the same choice entirely of her own accord. She also had a good excuse: she didn’t want Axel to feel wronged. Once she remarried and formed a new family, Axel would definitely be hurt.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The phone continued to ring incessantly, and out of options, Carolline eventually answered it.

It was an unfamiliar number without a signature, and Carolline didn’t know who it was.

"Who are you?" The other party was a woman, and Carolline couldn’t recognize her voice right away. The woman spoke again, "Isn’t this Bryan Cooper’s phone? Did I dial the wrong number?"

"No, you didn’t dial the wrong number. He’s just busy. Either you can call back later, or I can have him call you back when he’s done. Is that okay?" Carolline hurriedly replied, having genuinely not recognized the voice on the other end.

Many people’s voices change over the phone, and Carolline hadn’t always been a perceptive person. As a result, she always had to keep a note of her friends’ names in her contact list, otherwise, she couldn’t determine who they were just by seeing their phone numbers. Moreover, with so many phone numbers to keep track of, she couldn’t possibly remember them all.

"Are you his secretary then?" Joyce Lopez couldn’t recognize Carolline’s voice either. She had learned about Bryan Cooper’s new number at a party earlier that day.

The reason she called him was that her precious daughter was about to reach her one hundredth day, and Joyce wanted to hold a Hundred-day Banquet for her little princess at the Royal Winery. However, despite having been trying to reserve the venue since her daughter’s birth, she had yet to receive a response. Growing impatient, she asked Camelia Hawkins for help, but Camelia had claimed that even she might not be able to get into the Royal Winery for her birthday, let alone securing it for Joyce’s daughter’s Hundred-day Banquet.

Joyce knew that there was only one solution: she needed to plead her case directly to Bryan Cooper.

But at this moment, Bryan Cooper’s phone was answered by a woman. She couldn’t help but be curious, considering that a man who had declared himself unwed several years ago was spending his time with a woman at this hour. It was truly intriguing.

Legend had it that a man who had decided never to marry could only be persuaded to change his mind if he met an extraordinary woman, a so-called "miracle." Joyce knew she could never be the miracle in Bryan Cooper’s life. Even being a stranger to such tales, she had inadvertently discovered the woman whom Bryan had been hiding. Could it be that his miracle had finally appeared?
