Amelia noticed that he neither spoke nor hung up the call, completely unlike his usual sharp-tongued and cheeky demeanor. Suddenly, she realized something was off with him.
"Christopher, did something happen to you?" Her heart tightened with worry.
"No, what could possibly happen?" The man immediately responded with a casual laugh.
But Amelia didn't believe him.
He was certainly hiding something from her, and that something was most likely the root cause of his erratic moods and underlying depression.
Amelia was out of town and couldn't see him, so after some thought, she sternly warned him, "Christopher, you promised. From now on, we would be open and honest with each other. No more secrets between us."
