Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Abnormal, Too Abnormal
More than ten minutes had passed, and there was no activity on the phone.
Rong Yan was a bit surprised, she raised her eyebrows slightly and sent another emoticon package. This time she sent a picture of Bald Qiang.
The little fellow usually loved this set of emoticons the most, as long as she sent one over, Little Baby would definitely reply with three or four of the same type of emoticons to have a face-off with her.
But this time, everything was calm on the phone, still no activity whatsoever.
Rong Yan was truly surprised now, she frowned and said with unease, “Why hasn’t there been a reply? Could it be that it wasn’t seen?”
She checked the time, it was still early, it wasn’t possible that it hadn’t been seen.
She moved the laptop from her lap to the side, grabbed her phone, and got up from the bed. Walking barefoot to the door, she sent another emoticon package.
In the phone’s screen, just three of her messages lay quietly in the chat window, with no response from the other party!
She waited another five minutes, but still no messages came back. She couldn’t bear it any longer and made a call—
“Beep beep…” The phone had rung seven or eight times before the person on the other end vaguely picked up, “Hello, mom~”
The familiar babyish voice came through, and Rong Yan’s heart that had been suspended finally settled down a great deal.
Scared to death, she had thought Little Baby had met with an accident.
She remembered the last time he was pushed by Rong Weiwei into the pool, it still made her shudder. If it happened again, she feared her heart couldn’t take it.
“Why haven’t you replied to the message?”
There was the sound of static on the other end, Little Baby seemed to have brought the phone near a computer or TV, and while answering her, his words were absent-minded, “No, I just went to wash my hands and didn’t see the message mom sent me.”
But wasn’t he the kind of person who was attached to his phone 24 hours a day?
Why on earth would he leave his phone somewhere else?
“Mom, did you call me for something?”
Rong Yan sensed that he seemed very busy. Besides that, she thought she heard something like a voice call on the other end, constantly mentioning something about a club president.
But that voice quickly disappeared as if Little Baby had noticed and hurriedly turned off the speaker.
Club president? Rong Yan felt suspicious, but she didn’t immediately ask him about it; instead, she pretended she hadn’t heard it and said with a laugh, “It’s nothing. I just saw that you hadn’t replied to my message, and I was worried about you, so I called you.”
“I didn’t see the message mom sent me; next time I’ll definitely keep my phone on me and set a special ringtone for mom,” Little Baby’s voice didn’t reveal anything unusual. Of course, this was only for those unfamiliar with him. For Rong Yan, who carried him in her womb for ten months and, playing both roles of father and mother, had painstakingly raised him to age five, it was a completely different story. She had already detected his distraction from the voice of Little Baby.
If nothing was amiss, he would have already asked when she was coming to pick him up.
It was completely out of character for him not to have brought up this subject today.
You should know, just last night he obediently stayed at his grandmother’s house for a day, and under normal circumstances, he would be fussing about missing her, practically pushing her to come and pick him up immediately.
Unusual, too unusual!
Such abnormal behavior definitely indicated a problem!
Rong Yan casually changed the subject, “It’s okay; if you didn’t see it, you didn’t see it. Mommy was just worried about you, that’s why I called. As long as you’re fine, that’s good. Now, be good and stay at grandma’s house, keep her company.”
“Okay.” Little Baby agreed so readily that it set off alarm bells in Rong Yan’s heart.
