chapter81 Kidnapping

Not long after, Asher arrived at his place and stopped the car. "Scarlett, I have things to do today, so I can't talk for long."

Scarlett, understanding, replied, "Go ahead, just call me when you have time."

Asher was reluctant to hang up and said a few more words. Every time they ended a call, both were reluctant to part. Knowing he had important things to attend to, Scarlett took the initiative, "Let's talk next time."

After hanging up, she sat up in bed and stood by the window with a smile. The courtyard was filled with trees that had mostly shed their leaves. One or two leaves danced in the wind like fairies, and the laughter of children echoed from the small square, making everything seem wonderful. Even more wonderful was that Asher might be coming back soon.
