“Yes, that’s right!”
Mia anxiously took out her cell phone and looked at Pete.
She said, “Cherry, what’s your father’s phone number? I’ll call him for you!”
Pete:”???”
He didn’t want to do it.
After all, his parents hadn’t acknowledged each other yet.
It probably wasn’t a good idea to just call Justin like that.
For a moment, he kept quiet.
Terence immediately laughed and said, “Hah, did you see that? He doesn’t dare to call him! Cherry,
you’re just bragging! It’s impossible for your father to be Justin Hunt! “
“It’s true!” Mia’s eyes were red.
Her father had told her that.
There was no way there would be any mistake about it.
Besides, she was the one who said that Justin was Cherry’ s father.
It had nothing to do with Cherry at all.
Even if there really was a mistake, it wasn’t because Cherry was bragging but because she was
mistaken instead.
Yet, she didn’t know how to explain herself and ended up panicking.
Terence looked at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What are you being so anxious for? It’s as if you’re his wife.How would you know who his father
is?”
“I just do!”
Mia had always been a pushover.
This was the first time she was being so aggressive.
She insisted, “Cherry wasn’t bragging! Neither did she lie!”
Terence scoffed and said, “You little liar.You lie even about your own affairs.Your mother was
rejected by your father, yet you insist that it isn’t true…Little illegitimate daughter, if you’re that
impressive, then why don’t you get Cherry to give us the phone number?!”
Mia was about to cry.
Just as she was about to say something, Pete stepped forward and said coolly, “212XXXXXXX-”
The place fell quiet for a moment.Terence looked at Pete.
“Cherry, what do you mean by that ”
Pete didn’t look at him but at Mia instead.
“That’s my Daddy’s phone number.You weren’t lying.’ Mia finally came back to her senses.
She hurriedly dialed the number on her cell phone.
“Toot…toot…toot…”
Mia and Brandon both held their breaths together with the dial tone.
Even Terence was keeping quiet.
For a while, the atmosphere around them became very quiet.
However, after the phone rang three times, the recipient didn’t answer but rejected the call instead.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
Mia was dumbfounded.
Brandon was also stunned.
Terence, however, burst into laughter and said, “You saw that, right? You were just giving us some
random number! The recipient didn’t even pick up! Cherry, you’re a wild child without a father! You
don’t have a father at all!”
Mia, who was panicking, dialed the number again.
However, after it rang a few times, a message instead played: “The number you have dialed does
not exist…” Mia’s phone number had been blocked! Mia, Brandon was also dumbfounded.
He asked, “Cherry, what’ s the matter with your father?”
Pete replied very calmly, “My father doesn’t answer calls from strangers.’’ Brandon believed him
immediately.
“I see, so that’s how it is!”
Mia also nodded.
“Oh, that’s true.My father doesn’t answer calls from strangers, either!”
People of Justin’s and Joel’s class all owned private phone numbers.
It was standard protocol for them to reject calls from strangers on their private phone numbers.
Additionally, in the case of people like them, apart from their family and other people of the same
class as them, others rarely were able to get a hold of their private phone numbers.
While they were talking, Terence sneered, “Of course, my father doesn’t answer calls from
strangers, either.But why don’t you use your own cell phone to call him? Cherry it’s because you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknow everyone has that habit that you deliberately said that, right? The number you gave us isn’t
Justin Hunt’s at all!”
“212XXXXXXX” said Pete again suddenly.
Then, he asked, “Have you remembered it?”
Terence curled his lip disdainfully.
“What?”
Pete said coolly, “Your father should have my father’s private phone number.You can go home and
confirm it with your dad after you remember it.You’ll see after that.
Terence,???”
He was taken aback for a moment, but right after that, he sneered, “I get it now—you’re stalling for
time! But even if you gloss it over today, you’ll still be a wild child without a father tomorrow! Hmph,
I’ll go home and cross-check the phone numbers right now!”
Terence turned around and led the group of children away after he spoke.
To be honest, he was actually a little scared that Justin Hunt would really turn out to be Cherry’s
father.
If that happened, things would become troublesome.His father had warned him several times not to
mess with the two children from the Smiths in school.
Additionally, he wasn’t to mess with children from the Hunts, either.
It was just that the Hunts didn’t send their children to the school, so he wasn’t that worried about it.
After Terence left, Mia and Brandon looked at Pete.
Mia asked timidly, “Cherry, did I cause trouble for you..”
If she hadn’t revealed Cherry’s father’s information in school, Terence and the others wouldn’t have
known about it at all.
