......
In his memory, she was a sensible and reasonable person. This situation had never happened before. Wyatt panicked. He reflected on his actions as he drove, but he didn't even know how it became like this.
On the other end, Waverly hung up the phone. She was calm and had no tears left to cry. Maybe she was just numb because of what he did. After picking up a phone call from her colleague, she helped her colleague to choose clothes for the company event. Before going out, she tidied herself up with beautiful clothes and make-up.
Therefore, when Wyatt came in, he banged the door, but it was empty.
He waited by her door for the whole day and did not even return to the company. However, it was 11 o'clock at night, there was no signs of movement at the door.
Sitting on the stairs at the entrance, Wyatt saw that his cell phone emitted a low power signal. He felt completely decadent. Once again, he dialed Seth's number.
"Still no news?"
Seth was already extremely busy, and with this additional problem, he felt completely swamped. After a while, he said, "Wyatt, the traced location is not Miss Castle's. It's another number. That area is still very remote and the signal is incomplete!"
Wyatt closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
It was her style! He should have thought of this a long time ago. If she wanted to avoid him, she could hide herself in the blind spot of the surveillance camera forever. Digital gadgets would not work in her presence.
"Wyatt, what happened to you and Miss Castle? Did she disappear again?" Did she go to the temple again?
She was at peace now, but they had to turn the world upside down because of her!
Seth carefully asked Wyatt. He couldn't help but silently thought to himself, 'This won't work. The next time I see her, I must beg her to change this bad habit. If she runs every time she is angry, his legs will be whittled to nothing from running around!'
Wyatt twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed with self-mockery. If only he knew what happened!
"Forget it, don't look for her anymore. My phone is running out of battery. Let's stop talking and get someone to help me investigate what she has been doing when I was away for a business trip. Did she come into contact with anyone? Did anything out of the ordinary happen?"
Before Wyatt could hang up, the phone had been automatically turned off.
Getting up, Wyatt looked at the door once more and dragged his tired body into the elevator.
On this day, Waverly and her colleagues came home late after shopping and dinner, so she didn't go home at all. Instead, she stayed at their friends' house. When she returned home the next day, there was no trace of his presence left.
She didn't know if the saying was true. 'Only facing death can life be found.' Her love suffered a great blow but she could no longer feel any pain from it.
Two days later, with no work obligations and uncertainty in her heart, she packed up her luggage and began her solo journey. Without any purpose or plan, she bought a ticket casually and took a small suitcase with her to distract herself and began recovery.
He did not know that Waverly remained in Casterwich City and did not leave home. Wyatt waited for a day at her apartment before going to his villa. He searched a couple of places, and when he returned to the apartment, Waverly had already left Casterwich City as he had guessed.
In the office, looking at the reports handed over by various departments, Wyatt suddenly teared up.
They had overcome difficulties in telecommunication technology and reached a new level. Their patent application passed, and the collaborations between the company and various manufacturing factories had been agreed... All her suggestions became reality but she was no longer there with him to share the victory and happy moments...
He clenched his fists. Wyatt's heart was still filled with questions: Why? Why on earth?
They had faced so many obstacles and pressure and for every challenge they faced, there was a way to overcome. He had endured all the obstacles for so long, but he didn't leave her during the most difficult time. Why did she choose to leave him when everything had been resolved?
This time, she completely cut off all contact with him! It was only with him!
This time, he couldn't find her. He didn't even have the right to go over her space and memories!
Why?
Why did it become like this?
Suddenly, a drop of tears hit the back of his hand and he regained his senses. Wyatt closed his eyes, raised his head, and got up to pour himself a glass of red wine. Just as he picked up the glass, his eyes fell on the red spot on his hand where light reflected. With a thought, Wyatt paused.
"Is it because of the marriage certificate?"
The last time they could not get their marriage certificate because she suddenly fell ill. She was hospitalized, then he was busy and went on a business trip, so this matter was delayed until now. Did she think that because he didn't mention it again, he didn't want to marry her, so she left with disappointment?
Therefore, Wyatt still couldn't figure it out, even after checking and studying several times.
In a blink of an eye, two months had passed.
Waverly's sudden departure was a huge blow to Wyatt. Sky Success Group was like a miracle that created legends every day. From all the bad news of an initial crisis caused by a supply shortage that could potentially result in bankruptcy and exiting Casterwich City to a shocking reversal that opened a new path and amazed the technological world. Every day, the media tittered about Sky Success Group but Wyatt's face seemed to be covered with frost. He no longer smiled even as he attended any public or private events. It also became extremely difficult to meet him in person.
On this day, he was in the office even after nine o'clock at night. As soon as he got up and poured a glass of red wine, the phone on his table rang.
The call was from home, asking him to come home for dinner. Listening to that, he felt lifeless ever since Waverly left. All he wanted to do was to stay quietly in the office without anyone disturbing him. He didn't want to go anywhere. Even his meals were settled hurriedly. He spoke coldly.
"Mom, I've been very busy lately. I'm not going back. It's too troublesome."
"Wyatt, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, right? It's just a family dinner. I didn't arrange any activities for you, and there are no outsiders. Michal is back from abroad and said that she would come to Casterwich City with your sister in a few days—"
"Really? We haven't seen each other for a long time! Maybe another day. After I am done with this busy period, I will come back!"
Wyatt refused and hung up the phone.
Maybe because his family had opposed him and Waverly being together or because of the blind date they had arranged for him, he felt repulsed to go home. After Waverly left, he was even more reluctant to go home.
After pouring another glass of red wine, Wyatt couldn't control his emotions anymore. While he feeling annoyed, his cell phone rang again. He thought it was home and was about to put it on silent. When he looked down and saw Trevor's name, he pressed the answer button.
"Hey, it's me..."
Hearing that he called to invite him to an evening banquet, Wyatt resisted. "Forget it, I'm not interested!"
"Wyatt, come out and join us! Vicky's stomach is getting big, and my time outside is getting shorter and shorter. Besides, she sleeps very early these days, and it's rare for her to agree to come out. Oh yes, I suddenly remembered that someone called her with the number—"
His voice lowered as he spoke but Wyatt still heard it clearly. Almost at the same time, he put down the glass in his hand. "I'll be there right away!"
