"You..." Mrs. Wellington reached out regretfully, but it was already too late to stop her.
"You... who told you to hang up! How could you possibly have our Joan's number, I want to speak with her, call her back right now!"
Even when in need, this noble lady was still used to commanding.
Lily, however, wouldn't allow her to have her way, putting the cell phone back in her bag right in front of Mrs. Wellington.
"Wasn't it Mrs. Wellington who just told me to hang up? Why the change of heart now? It was you who said, 'You, do, not, want, to, answer.'"
"I... I didn't know it was our Joan's number!"
Mrs. Wellington was somewhat frantic, realizing that if she had known the person behind that call was her long-lost beloved daughter, she would have never spoken to Lily Redington that way.
