The call ended abruptly before Zayla could ask any questions, leaving her with the sound of beeping in her ear.
Zayla thought to herself, "I know Ophelia's character. She wouldn't have been able to fake those tears. They must have been genuine!"
Her face tightened, and her hand gripping the phone froze in place before trembling uncontrollably the next second.
Zayla thought about this more and more, ultimately deciding to call Robert.
The phone was quickly answered, and Robert's voice came through the line.
"Little girl, why did you think of calling me?"
Zayla bit her lip, knowing she couldn't hesitate any longer.
She told Robert everything about her relationship with Lincoln in great detail.
Robert feigned extra shock, his voice full of surprise!
"So! You're Zayla that my nephew has been pining over?"
"Yes." Zayla confirmed.
Robert continued to pretend, regretting his actions.
