Chapter 1549
After John sent the last text to Sherry, he dug through his contact for Odell’s number and called him.
The phone rang twice and was promptly hung up on the third ring.
John was caught off guard by this.
He hung up?
Odell may not be the most approachable person out there, but he would not just hang up.
Was he in the middle of something too?
Both of them were busy at such an unnatural hour…
He thought for a moment, then he waited two minutes before calling Odell’s number again.
Ring ring…
After several rings, the call was hung up again.
John scowled.
This time, he waited ten minutes before calling again.
Unlike the first two times, when the call was connected at the second ring, he heard the ruffled and heavy voice of the man. “What do you need?”
He sounded grumpy.
John smiled and said, “No, it’s nothing important, I was just calling to help Sherry ask if your wife is busy.”
Odell answered, “She’s by my side, what does Sherry want from her?”
“It’s nothing important, she was just bored and wanted to chat with Mrs. Carter, but since Mrs. Carter hasn’t been texting back she got a little worried, so I figured I’d help her call and ask if something had happened.”
Odell remained silent for a moment before saying, “…Got it.”
He seemed like he was holding back something.
Then he promptly hung up.
John smiled and sent Sherry a text, “Just contacted Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter is with him and should be texting you back any time now.”
Meanwhile, at the Carter’s Residence in Westchester.
Inside Sylvia and Odell’s bedroom.
They were in the middle of something and ended up getting interrupted.
“Oh.” Sylvia frowned. “Why didn’t she just call me instead?”
After receiving the update from John, Sherry frowned.
Did it take him the better half of ten minutes for him just to finally get in touch with Odell? Sylvia was with Odell?
Sherry looked at the night sky, she figured out the implications and suddenly glowered with embarrassment.
Ding ding.
Her phone rang again, this time it was Sylvia who finally texted her, “Her Sherry. Sorry I was busy just now and wasn’t looking at my phone. Do you need anything?”
Sherry was glad that Sylvia finally texted and hurriedly replied, “It’s nothing important, I just wanted to chat with you.”
Sylvia sent another message, “Sorry, I need to take a quick shower. Talk to you later.”
Sherry was very understanding, “Alright, go ahead. I’ll see you in a bit.”
She texted John again after that and asked, “How many times did you call Odell just now?”
John replied, “Three times, why?”
Sherry was flabbergasted.
Why would he knowingly interrupt them? What was wrong with this man?
