NovelEnglishChapter 419 Tessa did not have the habit of memorizing people's phone numbers. After all, her friends' and family's numbers were saved in her contacts.
Whenever she needed to reach someone, she would just scroll through her contacts and make the call.
She never expected to find herself stuck in such a situation.
Her phone was broken, and Wynn's phone was dead. Since she could not remember anyone's number, she would not be able to make any calls even if she borrowed Melody's phone.
Melody felt extremely guilty. "I wouldn't have called you here if I knew there'd be a flood. Mike and I should have traveled to Rivertown instead." "Don't say that. If you and Mike had traveled to Rivertown, who would have looked after your son?" Tessa replied. Melody's son was only two years old and needed constant care. Mike's parents were no longer around, and Melody's mom could not help Melody either as she was frail and chronically ill.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was precisely because of her son that Melody had asked Tessa to cto their town instead.
Tessa said, "Don't blyourself. This isn't your fault. It's not like you could've predicted that a natural disaster. The rescue team should also be here soon.
"I only lost contact with the outside world for one day, and I already called my dad to let him know that I'm safe." The weather had been bright and sunny on the day Tessa had arrived. The weather forecasts had also predicted sunny skies for the next three days.
Unfortunately, the storm had begun to pour on the day Tessa had planned to leave, and no one would have expected the storm to cause a flood.
Since they did not have electricity to light up the house, Melody began cooking dinner at 5:00 pm.
The storm had stopped, and the water in the house had receded a little.
Last night, the flood had risen to mid-calf, but now, it only reached slightly above one's ankles.
"I'm really sorry. I only have two pairs of women's boots at home, and I don't have any other extras," Melody said apologetically as she glanced at Wynn.
Wynn waded through the muddy water barefoot and said nonchalantly, "It's alright." Afraid that Wynn would catch a cold, Tessa said, "Wynn, why don't you go up and rest. I'll bring the food up for you once it's ready. You shouldn't keep wading through the water. You might end up catching a cold." "This is nothing. I once ran three miles in the snow barefoot for my training." "What kind of insane training did you do?" Melody asked in shock.
Wynn kept quiet. She'd risk exposing herself if she said anymore.
Tessa smiled and covered for her. "Wynn had once participated in an extrsports challenge." "That's amazing," Melody exclaimed as she looked at Wynn in awe, and just like that, the moment had passed.
In the kitchen, Tessa had nothing to do, so she decided to help Melody wash the vegetables.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Tessa, how have you been for the past two years?" Melody asked as she chopped the vegetables.
Tessa washed each lettuce leaf carefully and answered, "I've been doing pretty well." Melody wasn't aware of Tessa's family background, so she was under the impression that Tessa was just an ordinary lawyer. So, she asked Are you used to working at the faw firm back in your hometown? Are the salaries in Rivertown high?" "It's alright. The pay is pretty much the sas Haverford." "Did you date anyone else after breaking up with that Zach guy?" Before Melody returned to her hometown, she had met Zachary once.
Back then, she had gone shopping with Tessa when it suddenly rained, so Zachary had cto pick Tessa up.
Melody's first impression of Zachary was positive. Seeing how handsghow and wealthy he was, she believed he Wasla good match for someone as stunning as Tessa.
After returning to her hometown, she rarely ever spoke or messaged m Tessa. She only found out fater on that they had broken up when she asked Tessa when they were planning to get married. Once Tessa informed her that they had broken up, she had not pried any further.
Hearing Melody's question, Tessa paused momentarily and lowered her gaze we "I dated someone else, but we broke up too." Melody could tell from Tessa's tone that she sounded quite miserable, so she dropped it.
Then, she quickly changed the topic. "I'm making chicken stew and caramelized pork tonight. I'll also make salad with cucumbers as a side. How does that sound?"
