Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 257

Beasley returned to Opal Residences, torn about whether or not to call Willow.

A message—he knew she’d never reply.

A call—she probably wouldn’t pick up anyway.

He checked the time. Ten o’clock at night.

She must be home safe by now, right?

Worried he’d just irritate her further, this time he didn’t head to Cliffhaven Gardens. He went straight back to Opal Residences.

Frustrated, Beasley stood and headed upstairs for a shower, hoping the cold water would clear his mind.

——

The next morning, Willow’s phone buzzed with an unfamiliar number.

“Hello, is this Miss Sheffield?” a woman’s voice asked on the line, one Willow didn’t recognize.

“This is she.” Willow had just made herself a simple breakfast—noodles with egg and scallions.

She picked up her fork, planning to eat while taking the call.

“Miss Sheffield, I’m Connor’s mother. I hope you don’t mind me calling—I just wanted to ask for your forgiveness.”

Willow’s hand froze, fork halfway to her mouth.

Connor’s mother?

What did she just say?

Ask for her forgiveness?

Willow kept her tone neutral. “I’m not sure I understand what you mean.”

Connor was only being held for ten days. Willow doubted his mother would be calling now just to plead for his sake. If she were truly worried, wouldn’t she have called the very first day? Why wait several days?
