496 Chapter 496: You’re The Most Strangest Man I’ve Mee (1/2)

Kylie waited for a while but heard no sound. ”Are you sure someone wants to talk to me?” She turned to ask Tory.

”What? Is he shy?” Tory took the phone again. ”I didn't expect you to be a coward.” He sounded as arrogant as usual.

He thought Ethan would argue against him, but Ethan directly said, ”Meet me at the dock of Seattle at 7:30 pm. I want to see Kylie in person, or...”

Ethan glanced at Ben, whose face was full of anticipation, then hung up on Tory.

Tory looked at Kylie. He made a hand gesture to tell her to enjoy her coffee, then turned around to face the ocean himself.

He looked serious and seemed to be planning something. After a long while, he went to sit across Kylie. ”Your 3-day break is over, I think.”

Kylie warmed her hands up, holding the cup of coffee. ”Can I leave now?”

”I never have forced you to stay.” Tory smiled.

”How about Dinah?” Kylie asked.

”It takes a while for her to recover, and I think she better stay here,” Tory said. Kylie understood Tory needed to hold Dinah hostage.

Although Tory wasn't their ally, Kylie believed he wouldn't hurt Dinah. In addition, she missed Ethan so much after being apart from him for days.

”I'll do my best to help you, and I also hope you can take good care of Dinah.” Kylie reached out one hand across the table.

Tory looked at Kylie's hand. He smiled and held her hand.

Her hand was still warm, and Tory's heart lost a beat.

”You're the best girl I've ever seen,” Tory said.

”You're the strangest man I've ever seen,” Kylie said, then drew her hand back. ”Can I leave now?”

****

Ben complained, rubbing his belly when it was just a little past 7 pm. ”Mother Kylie's husband, I'm hungry.”

”Shut up,” Ethan snapped at him, fixing his eyes on passing cars at the dock.

Ben pouted in annoyance and kicked the back of Ethan's seat. ”How can you be so terrible to a kid? You're a bad guy!”

Ethan glanced at him, then knocked on his head.

”Ouch! How can you hit me? I'll call Mother Kylie!” Ben raised his voice.

Ethan coldly looked at him, seeing him dialing Kylie's phone number.

”Mother Kylie, your husband is a bad guy! He just hit me and refused to feed me!” Ben told Kylie.

Ethan had failed to get through to Kylie ever since she was lost, so he thought Ben was just acting.

”Yeah, he is your husband. I'm sure it is he,” Ben said with certainty. After listening to the phone for a while, Ben asked Ethan, ”Where are we now?”

”The dock of Seattle,” Ethan snorted.

”Ethan?” Kylie couldn't believe it was Ethan's voice.
