CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 691

Suzy tried calling Dylan, but there was no answer.

Frustrated, she called Desmond instead. “Where’s Dylan?”

It didn’t seem like anything serious had happened.

If it had, Desmond would have already informed her. But why wasn’t Dylan answering? Was he too busy, or had he simply not heard the phone?

On the other end of the line, Desmond replied, “Mr. Wright didn’t come into work today, so I’m not sure where he is right now.”

“He didn’t go to work?” Suzy asked casually. “Why not?”

“When I went to pick him up this morning, he said he was taking the day off. He didn’t tell me why, and I didn’t press him for details.”

Desmond paused before adding, “Mrs. Wright, is there something urgent you need to discuss with him?”

“Sort of…” Suzy pressed her lips together. “Could you try reaching out to him and ask him to call me back?”

“Of course. Please hold on.”

Five minutes later, Desmond called back. “Mrs. Wright, I can’t get hold of him either. His phone is on, but he’s not picking up. Do you think something might’ve happened to him?”

The thought of Dylan’s lingering health issues sent a wave of unease through Suzy. “Was he at the family estate last night or at Bayview Heights?”

“Bayview Heights. He usually stays there unless it’s absolutely necessary to be elsewhere.”

Without saying anything more, Suzy hung up and immediately drove to Bayview Heights.

She knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.

Uncertain when Dylan changed the lock to a keypad, Suzy decided to try entering a code.

The first code she tried was his birthday.

It wasn’t as though she’d gone out of her way to memorize everything about him.

It was just that she had a knack for remembering numbers.

Not just Dylan’s birthday, but Diana’s, Grace’s, Allen’s, Riley’s—anyone’s birthday. Once someone told her, it was as if the numbers were etched into her mind.

But the code didn’t work.

She tried Diana’s birthday next. Still wrong.

Grace’s? No luck.

Frustrated, Suzy was about to pull out her phone to crack the code using other methods when Desmond showed up.

When he saw them, he looked puzzled. “What are you two doing here?”

Suzy took a deep breath to steady herself. “Why haven’t you been answering your phone?”

“I left it in the bedroom,” Dylan replied quickly, masking the flicker of emotion in his eyes.

“Did you call me?”

“How else would I know you weren’t picking up?” Suzy said, clearly annoyed. “You’re in your study, and your phone’s in the bedroom. Does it not occur to you that someone might call you?”

“I got an urgent email and rushed to deal with it. I wasn’t really thinking about anything else…” Dylan’s gaze remained locked on her.

“Were you worried about me?”

“Yes, I was worried,” Suzy replied sarcastically.

“I was worried you might’ve dropped dead in your room, so I came over to claim the body.”

She was absolutely fed up.

Desmond glanced at Dylan, a glimmer of amusement flickering in his eyes before he quickly masked it.

He then turned to Suzy and said, “Mrs. Wright, since Mr. Wright is fine, I’ll leave you two to talk. There’s a lot to take care of at the company, so I’ll head out now.”
