Listening to that voice, he began to tremble, gripped by fear.
The word "betrayal"...made him feel ashamed, and made him too embarrassed to face Scarlett Glenn.
His trembling hand reached out to pick up the mobile phone.
"Hello..."
"Thomas, where have you been? I've called you several times and you're just picking up now. Milly told me something happened at your home, what happened?" Scarlet Glenn asked a battery of questions as soon as the phone connected.
Thomas, feeling guilty, dared not speak: "Nothing...nothing..."
"Not true, something is off with your voice. Where are you? What happened? Tell me," Scarlett Glenn detected the tremble in Thomas's voice, and it seemed like he had been crying, with a heavy nasal tone.
"I...I'm really fine, Scarlett, you don't need to worry."
The more Thomas said this, the more convinced Scarlett Glenn became that something was wrong: "Just tell me if something is wrong, you wouldn't still be polite with me, would you?"
"No...no..."
