Chapter 1170
Ida frowned and glanced down to see that Chase’s phone was on silent.
It was ringing, and the caller ID was showing the number of that boy named Byran.
She wasn’t sleepy at all; she was just feeling quite peeved.
“Why don’t you just turn your phone off?” Ida asked impatiently.
Chase shrugged helplessly. “The lad said if I turned off my phone, it would seem like I had something to hide, and
he’d call the cops, claiming I kidnapped you and wouldn’t let you answer the phone. I don’t fancy being hauled off
by the police!”
Ida was speechless.
What a little rascal!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter taking Chase’s phone, Ida retreated to her room. Seeing the number calling again, she leaned against the
headboard and answered while massaging her temples.
“Chase! I’ve checked. You and Ida are living in the same place! If you don’t let her answer the phone, I’m really
gonna call the police!”
Ida responded coldly, “Would you really call the police?”
The voice of the boy on the other end faltered and then rose in pitch. “Ida! You finally answered! I’ve been worried
about you!”
Ida replied sharply, “Worried about what?”
Caught off guard, Byran huffed arrogantly. “I don’t know, I just am!”
Growing impatient with the lad, Ida said, “Byran, I was doing just fine before I met you, and I’ll be fine after. You
don’t need to worry so much and stop bothering my friend, got it?”
Sucking in a breath, Byran’s voice was shaky but still childishly stubborn. “I get it, I get it! I didn’t mean to bother
your friend! It’s just that all my calls to you were answered by Ellinor, and I’m stuck at home, which is why I’ve been
so anxious!”
Ida sat up straight. “What did you just say? Ellinor answered my calls?”
Byran nodded honestly, “Yes, it was her! I was really shocked. How did your phone end up with her?”
Ida asked sternly, “What did you say to her when she answered?”
Byran sounded guilty, “I… I didn’t say anything!”
“What do you mean you didn’t say anything? Repeat your conversation!”
“Oh, come on! I didn’t expect her to answer! I just mentioned that we had a one-night stand, and you should take
responsibility.”
Ida covered her forehead with her hand. “And how did she respond?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmByran’s voice trembled. “She asked when it happened.”
Ida sighed. “And what did you say?”
Byran replied honestly. “I didn’t dare answer! I remembered you told me not to let Ellinor know, so I just hung up.”

Ida massaged her temples. A secret that should’ve stayed that way was now out in the open. What good was
hanging up now?
Ellinor knew about her one-night stand with her brother. She was probably furious.
Ida didn’t realize that Byran had been pushed too far; when she wanted to end it all, he was no longer under her
control, and then…
“Alright! It’s late; go to bed. Don’t call me unless it’s necessary. I don’t have time to play games with you!”

As she was about to end the call, she heard Byran’s trembling voice. “I’m outside; I can’t sleep! It’s too cold…”
Her hand, originally ready to disconnect the call, stopped. She frowned. “It’s late. Why aren’t you at home sleeping?
Why are you out wandering?”
