Chapter 57 Not Her Problem : 98 Finished Sure enough, when Alfred's expression changed abruptly, he said, "Zoey, don't be scared. I'm coming right now." Holding his phone, Alfred stepped aside. He lowered his voice, trying to calm Zoey, who was completely losing control on the other end of the line. "Where are the staff at home? Go get one of them to stay with you first. I'll be there right away." "No! I don't want strangers with me. I only want you, Alfred!" Bang! The sound of glass shattering came through the phone, followed by Zoey's scream. "Alfred, am I going to die?
Then just let me die. I don't want to keep bothering you anymore." Zoey's voice shifted from sharp hysteria to a hollow, lifeless murmur. Alfred's face drained of color. "Zoey, don't do anything stupid. I'm coming right now. Wait for me!" He turned to look for Nella. "Zoey's depression is acting up-" Before he could finish, he realized there was no one beside him anymore. Only the slate-gray coat he had just draped over Nella was left hanging on the rack by the door. Lonely. Almost mocking him. A sudden wave of panic and helplessness surged in his chest.

He looked around and saw Nella just getting into a taxi parked by the curb. Alfred couldn't quite describe how he felt at that moment. A strange, dull pain rose suddenly in his heart, stabbing deeply enough to leave him dazed for a brief second. "Alfred!" Zoey's crying voice pulled him back to reality. 1/3 98 Finished 9:51 Fri, Jan 9 Chapter 57 Not Her Problem : Irritation and restlessness crept into his expression. He pinched the bridge of his nose, lifted the phone, and said in a low voice, "I'm coming." Not long after the taxi pulled away from the Belcour restaurant, Nella's phone rang.
It was Alfred. She hesitated for a moment, then answered. "Hello?" There was silence on the other end at first. She could faintly hear heavy breathing, as if Alfred were struggling to suppress his anger. Just as Nella was starting to lose patience, his hoarse voice finally came through. "Why did you leave without waiting for me? Didn't I say I'd take you home?" Nella's grip on her phone tightened slightly. Then she replied calmly, "Ms. Mack's situation is urgent. Don't waste time because of me. Taking a cab works just fine." After she spoke, the line fell into silence again.
Only Alfred's increasingly heavy breathing could be heard, thick with restrained anger. Nella frowned, unable to understand what he was even angry about. Was it because she left without saying goodbye? But if she had insisted on him taking her home and something happened to Zoey while he hesitated, wouldn't the blame fall on her? She had removed the dilemma for him. Wasn't that enough? "If there's nothing else, I'll-" "Nella." Alfred interrupted her, saying her name through clenched teeth. Then came a cold laugh. "You're really that generous, huh?
Just pushing your own husband toward another woman like that." Nella fell silent. 2/3 Chapter 57 Not Her Problem Was Alfred trying to pick a fight? She was pushing him toward another woman?
