Chapter 129

EMBER'S POV

"Jean?" I questioned, trying to understand why he decided to remain quiet. He had been off since the moment he picked up the call, and his behavior gave me reason for worry.

"uh, I'm not exactly busy. So you can tell me why you called, I'm all ears," he said, sounding somewhat strained and he only left me with more questions.

Where was he?

What was happening with him?

Why did he somewhat off?

I sighed and pressed my lips together, "Well, I actually called to know what you've been up to and if you would be free this evening ." I said, simply blurting it out. Even though he was acting weird, he could not possibly tell me I wasn't allowed to come over. Or could he?

"this evening?" he asked, and grew quiet again and I think that was all the confirmation I needed that something was definitely off and wrong somewhere.
