Chapter 1372: Monica Escapes Just then, her phone rang, the sound pulling her thoughts back to reality. Monica took out her phone and saw that it was Tristan calling. She immediately chased away all the negative emotions and joy began to grow in her heart. Her entire mood shifted.
Belinda, in her room, also heard the phone ring and thought it was Algerone Swain calling, so she gently cracked open her door.
She watched as her daughter answered the call with a smile, holding the phone to her ear, "Good morning." "Good morning," Tristan's voice was low and gentle, "I'm done with my work now and planning to go to the hospital. Can | cpick you up now?" Now?? Monica wasn't prepared at all, but she was still looking forward to seeing him, so she smiled and said, "Sure, | don't have anything else going on anyway." "Alright, see you soon." In truth, Tristan had already set off, his car heading towards the hotel, "I'll be there in a few minutes." That quickly?? "Okay, I'll cdown right away." Monica felt a bit flustered, thinking she should change her clothes or redo her hairstyle, or perhaps apply her makeup a bit more delicately. But there was no tfor that now.
After hanging up, she turned around and went back to her room. As she cout with her bag, she bumped into her mother, who was glaring at her with a murderous expression! Monica's footsteps faltered, "..." "You're not going." Belinda emphasized again, "l don't agree with you being with Tristan!" "I'm sorry." Monica gripped her bag tightly, facing her mother's gaze with an unusually firm tone, "I can listen to you on everything else, but not when it comes to matters of the heart! | can't stop what my heart decides!" As soon as she spoke, Monica rushed to the door before her mother could catch her, opening it and running out! Belinda chased after her but cup empty, "Monica!!" The girl didn't go to the elevator but dashed into the stairwell, her figure soon disappearing from her mother's sight.
Belinda was furious! But she was also worried that Monica might have twisted her ankle running so fast! Angry and worried at the stime! Unable to contain her anger, she stomped on the roses thrown at the door, crushing them! Her heart was full of rage towards Algerone Swain! He was already married, yet he still used roses to disgust her! Monica ran down the stairs and out of the hotel lobby, just in tto see her father preparing to get in his car not far away.
Algerone Swain inadvertently turned his gaze and saw his daughter at once. He had just opened the driver's side door, then closed it, "Monica?" "Dad!" The girl looked around, Tristan hadn't arrived yet, so she jogged towards her father, "I'm sorry, | apologize to you on behalf of mom!" "What apology? | know her temper all too well," Algerone Swain didn't seem to take it to heart. He stepped forward, looking at his daughter panting, and asked with concern, "What's going on? Why are you running so fast?" "Tristan askedout, but mom wouldn't letgo, so | ran down the stairs," the girl told her father honestly, "We're going to the hospital to see his brother. | promised yesterday, and | don't want to break my word. He'll be here soon." "Dad supports you two being together." The middle-aged man patted her shoulder, "We'll slowly influence your mom's side. Let's work together." "She threw away the roses. Next time... don't send flowers." Monica said this, actually trying to test if he would still take the initiative.
The man laughed, "It's already good enough to letin. Let's take it slow, we're not in a hurry. With so many people working together, we're not afraid of not being able to convince her, right?" The girl was amused by her father's demeanor, and the initially unhappy morning suddenly becmore relaxed and comfortable.
