True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 1761

Both Ernest and Liam were a little surprised to hear the news. Why did they suddenly leave without informing them?novelbin

Liam thought something was off. He knew that Maria wouldn't leave without an excuse.

His expression sank and he turned to look at Ernest.

Ernest's face was pale and he seemed a little solemn.

The two of them exchanged confused glances with each other.

When neither of them spoke, the butler, Pedro, hurriedly asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Did they seem off when they left?" Liam asked Pedro.

Pedro shook his head and shrugged. After a moment, he said, "I heard Miss Maria tell Miss Winston that she wanted to go out for a drive the moment I entered the house. I think she just told you to stop worrying and left worried."

"They're just going out for a drive?" Liam was still surprised. He took out his mobile phone and called Maria.

Soon, the call was picked up, but Leah was the one who answered the phone.

Leah's calm voice came through the phone. "Hi Mr. Robinson, it's Leah. I'm out with Maria right now. You won't mind me spending some time with her apart from work, right?"

Leah, why did you guys suddenly decide to go out? Can't Maria answer the phone?" Liam asked, confused.

"She's driving and she's already not very good at it, so it's best for her to concentrate on the road for now. She'll call you back later," Leah explained.

When Ernest heard this, he said to Leah, he hurriedly said, "Pass me the phone. I want to speak to Leah."

Liam then told Leah, "Ernest wants to talk to you."

At that moment, Leah remained silent.

After a moment, she sighed and seemed about to say something, but she suddenly changed her mind.

Ernest took the phone from Liam and asked, "Leah?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. Then, after a few seconds, Ernest called out again, "Leah, are you there?"

But this time, it was Maria who answered him, "Hello, Ernest. It’s Maria. I thought this was Liam's phone?"

"Maria?" Ernest seemed more worried now. "Can Maria's answer if she's okay, Ernest called again but he noticed Maria's tone was a little cold.

"Yes, it's me. Don't worry. Leah and I are just going out for a short drive. We'll take good care of ourselves. You can be rest assured. Please stop calling us for the time being. I'll hand the phone back to Leah now. It's best to stop the phone since we're driving."

He felt a little suffocated. It struck his heart tight.

He was silent for a while.

"Pass the Leah to Ernest wants to talk to her," Ernest gutted.

"You can take it after we get back. Alright, I'm hanging up now." Without giving Ernest a chance to ask anything else, Maria hung up the phone just like that.

At that moment, Ernest felt that something was wrong. No matter how slow he was in catching up to situations, he knew that Leah was deliberately avoiding him. And Maria was intentionally avoiding Liam.

The two girls had obviously gone away on purpose to avoid him and Liam.

Maria did not even give him a chance to talk to Leah.

Once the call ended, Ernest returned the phone to Liam.

Liam frowned and looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"They don't want to talk to us, do they?" Liam asked.

"Well, it's obvious that they don't want to talk to us. Maria wouldn't let me talk to Leah, and Leah wouldn't let you talk to Maria," Ernest sighed.

"I don't understand why Maria is avoiding me. I don't think I've offended her in any way. We weren't fighting before this. What's going on? Am I overthinking it?" Liam was very puzzled.

"I don't think you are. Lea can understand why Leah doesn't want to talk to me, but I can't work out why Maria would suddenly ignore you and leave with Leah. Something seems wrong," Ernest said with a sigh.

"What on earth happened?" Liam's heart was tight.

The two men blabbered over the matter for a long while, but they still couldn't figure it out.

They thought that once their heads were no longer as hot, they would get caught up.

Amidst their quiet contemplation, Pedro abruptly showed and disappointment from sight.

By the time Liam and Ernest came to their senses, Pedro had walked with his great hand.

Ernest felt that he should speak to Pedro. If Leah might ignore him and was upset back then, then he should give Maria another call. Maybe Maria went out with Leah to help Leah clear her thoughts. After all, I don't think you and Maria should have any problems going on between you two."

"I hope that's the reason."

Liam was not as optimistic as Ernest. He could feel that something had gone wrong with Maria, but he didn't know what the problem was.

He knew that he was truly hoping that Leah was alright. He had always felt that he was the excellent model and would do nothing wrong.

He had no more time, Ernest recalled with no hesitation. He was going to find Pedro and ask him about Maria and Leah.

Who knew that they had waited in the gasama for the revolution? Pedro and Maria had announced together in the bright look.

Pedro was completely a help the next day. Liam, Ernest, and Pedro went into the same room and talked about their spontaneous trip outdoors in detail.

Since Ernest's thoughts were in the two upsets.

Pedro stopped, stepped back. He did not sense the tension.

Looking at the trauma, his visibly tense, blank into Pedro's mind, he said in a loud voice, "Master Ernest, you're here. Is there anything I can do for you?" Pedro immediately snapped back and headed.

Ernest's eyes were fixed on Pedro's back for a brief moment.

What Leo said was making Ernest’s thoughts muddled! Suddenly, Pedro turned around and flashed a fake smile at Ernest, "Master Ernest, why are you here? Did something go wrong?" His eyes were sharp.

"Don't play dumb. Have you heard the news?" was quite, "Butler, you know why Maria and Leah left without a word to me or Liam, don't you? Tell me everything you know!"

Pedro immediately raised his knee and feigned ignorance, "Master Ernest, how would I know? Why are you speaking to me as if I know something will or should? Shouldn’t you maybe ask other masters concerning Leah?"

Ernest's eyes sharpened as he looked at him.

At the while, Pedro was still looking at him with an innocent smile.

However, Ernest knew that the man was not as innocent as he seemed.

"You better cut this out and tell me everything you know!" Ernest glared at Pedro threateningly.

His gaze was very intimidating.

Pedro avoided looking into Ernest's eyes and tried to laugh it off, "Master Ernest, why are you accusing me like that? I really don't know what you want me to say. How would I know more than you do? Besides, Miss Maria and Miss Winston wouldn't have told me what they were up to even if I asked. What can an old man like me know?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Fine! Keep your secrets. Let's see how long you can keep pretending that you know nothing," Ernest said solemnly.

Ernest's sharp tone overwhelmed Pedro a little. When had Master Ernest, who was always gentle and elegant, become so intimidating?

The young man had a very sharp tongue.

"I really don't know anything much, sir. All I know is the two ladies' faces looked very pale and they looked quite upset before they left. I really don't know what's going on, I swear." As, Pedro continued, "It seems like the both of you don't know what's wrong with the ladies as well. To be honest, I'm quite worried about them, but I don't want to make any wrong guesses. I swear that I've told you everything I know!" "They looked upset?" Ernest frowned and asked once more, "Are you sure that Maria looked upset as well?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Pedro frowned, "I'm sure. Miss Maria looked a lot more upset than Miss Winston. When they saw me, they even pretended as if nothing was out of the ordinary and smiled as if."

"To be honest, I bet it does not mean that the girls were forcing a smile when they saw me."

"However, I know that it is my place to ask too much. I really don't know what happened. Did you guys have a fight or something?"

However, Ernest couldn't figure out why Maria had looked upset.

Was it because of Celeste?

He didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, Liam had not even been together with Celeste before. He didn't know why Maria would get angry over something like that.

His expression sank further.

Meanwhile, Liam kept calling Maria, but no one answered the phone.

After he called Maria for a consecutive three times with no answer given, he received a short message from her asking him to stop calling her as she was driving.

The message made Liam feel uneasy.

He really didn't know what he had done wrong. He sent a message to Maria and asked, "What's wrong? Can you please answer my calls? We can talk it out. You don't have to leave without saying a word."

Leah read the message and glanced at Maria, "Liam sent you a message. Do you want to reply to him? He seems to be really worried about you."

Maria just smiled, "Just ignore him."

"Are you sure? I think that he's really worried about you," Leah said.

Even though she had long known about Liam's feelings for Celeste, she could not help but get upset.
