Chapter 302

Caleb quickly covered his phone and rushed to the bathroom to check the call.

Ashley was still fast asleep, clearly exhausted.

Nervous, he silenced the ringtone to avoid waking her, but he still hesitated to answer Katherine’s call

Previously, he’d been chased out of Kranson City by Louis, who threatened that he’d break Caleb’s legs if he ever returned.

Katherine calling now could only mean she knew he was back, which terrified Caleb. But then, a part of him wondered, “What if Katherine is calling for something else?

Giving in to his curiosity, Caleb finally answered but didn’t speak. Katherine’s voice came through quickly. “Caleb‘ You finally answered.”

Hearing that Katherine did not sound angry, Caleb immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, to prevent Katherine from noticing something amiss, he said coldly with a straight face, “Katherine, you’re looking for me? Let me go. I’m not in Kranson City anymore!”

Despite his tone, Katherine felt an overwhelming urge to strangle him through the phone but held back.

However, she still had the upper hand in rationality. Thinking of her motive, she took a deep breath and said gently, “Caleb, are you still angry with me! I didn’t know that Louis did that. I called you to tell you that I missed you…

What did you say?”

“I said, I miss you. Caleb. I miss you so much.

Caleb couldn’t believe his ears. Staring at the phone in disbelief, he checked the number again. It was definitely Katherine’s. He had called this number countless times when they were together, and he couldn’t be wrong. “You… You’re Katherine?”

“It’s me, Caleb. Don’t you recognize my voice?”

Hearny Katherine’s voice sounding almost tearful, Calch was utterly confused. “What’s she playing at! After everything that happened, now she said she missed him? he wondered.

As if fearing he wasn’t shocked enough, Katherine’s voice kept coming through the phone. “Caleb, are you listening? You don’t understand. I really want to se you. I dream about you every night.”

Caleb was stunned, barely daring to breathe. The shock was overwhelming.

Caleb couldn’t bear himself to believe her. “Did you… did you forget all the things I did to hurt you? Louis said if I ever came back to Kranson City, he’d break my legs and make my life hell

Katherine quickly apologized. “It’s my fault. Julian was too impulsive. I’m sorry on his behalf. You had your reasons for lying to me. If I hadn’t hidden my identity from you in the first place, you wouldn’t have treated me that way. I understand now.”

“But none of that matters anymore, Caleb. When we broke up, I felt like dying. After thinking it over, you were the best. thing that ever happened to me. I’ll never forget the days we spent together. No one else I’ve met since has treated me like you did.” Katherine felt sick saying this, barely holding back the urge to vomit

Beside her, Valerie gave her a thumbs–up, equally disgusted but impressed by her performance.

Both of them suppressed their nausea while sneaking glances at each other, stifling their laughter. If Caleb answered the call, it meant he still had doubts. They knew they could reel him in.

Sure

enough, on the other end. Caleb was taken aback

‘Is Katherine out of her mind? Or does she have some kind of masochistic streak? After everything I did, she still couldn’t forget me?‘ he wondered.

Thinking back, Caleb realized that despite the deception, he had put on a convincing act.

But then again, even though he had lied to Katherine when he was with her, he was very good at pretending. Moreover, het was handsome. No wonder Katherine could not forget him.

At this moment, Katherine, fighting the urge to gag, continued, Caleb, can we video chat? I really want to see you. I can’t wait to see you…

The longing was, of course, a ruse, Katherine’s true intention was to confirm Caleb’s whereabouts to prepare thoroughly.

Her request made Caleb take a deep breath. If Ashley overheard it would spell trouble.

Ashley was so crazy that she even attacked her own son, let alone him, if Ashley discovered this call, the 10 thousand dollars he had secured could vanish. It wasn’t a fortune, but it was significant. If Ashley found out, she would confront him physically. She was capable of that.

Caleb hesitated. “That’s probably not convenient. We’ve broken up. There’s no need to see each other anymore.”

Katherine silently cursed, realizing how cautious this scumbag was.

Katherine had to resort to more drastic measures.

Clenching her fist, she prepared for her final move. She pinched her thigh hard, bringing tears to her eyes to make her plea more convincing.

“Please, just let me see you.” Katherine’s voice, now filled with a convincing sob, resonated with desperation.

“Louis is forcing me into blind dates, but I don’t like any of them. Caleb, only you make my heart race. I don’t believe you’ve forgotten me. I just want to see you. I won’t do anything else. Caleb, I’m begging you.”
