Chapter 430 Entangled in Northland

DAY 16:3

Joseph, who had ended the call with Christopher from Northland, looked troubled.

He hadn’t anticipated his return to Riverdon. What troubled him the most was breaking the news to Fanny. He feared that if She discovered he had returned, she would likely overthink things, adding to the already complicated situation.

Joseph paused at the end of the corridor, deliberating on how to convey the news to her without causing unnecessary distress. Despite his efforts to devise a solution, he was unable to conceive a suitable approach.

Just as he thought deeply, Fanny’s voice suddenly echoed from behind him.

“Joséph?”

Fanny’s voice sounded clear and composed, starkly contrasting her previous somber manner, indicating she had managed to compose herself.

Taking a deep breath, Joseph turned around to see Fanny’s pale and sorrowful face.

His beloved Fanny, so gentle and sweet, how could she be faced with such a situation?

Joseph replied gently, “Fanny, why are you out? Shouldn’t you be resting and recuperating?”

“I–I… have a class,” Fanny responded with a pale face, “I only have afternoon classes today, so I need to go to school.”

Seeing her take a few unsteady steps forward, Joseph felt another wave of concern. He quickly suggested, “Fanny, let me take you home to rest, and I’ll help you get an excused absence from school.”

She was in no condition to attend classes at the moment. Moreover, he was deeply worried about her. Fanny appeared to hesitate, and, deciding to respect her decision, he patiently waited for her to decide.

After contemplating, Fanny mustered her resolve and said firmly, “Joseph, I can manage myself. I will go to class.”

Although Joseph wanted to persuade her otherwise, Fanny casually asked, “Joseph, when will you help me ask about Christopher?”

Although Fanny did not outwardly express it, she harbored resentment towards Christopher for his absence. However, expecting her to reach out to Christopher first was out of the question. In the past, Christopher had always been the first to contact her. But he had not attempted to reach out for some reason after she responded coldly to his text message. Realizing this, Fanny began to feel anxious.

Hence, she had mentioned to Joseph earlier that Christopher was standing her up.

She waited inside, anticipating his announcement that he had contacted Christopher. To her surprise, Joseph did not mention Christopher at all.

Had Joseph forgotten?

Fanny gazed at Joseph with anticipation.

Unable to withstand her gaze, Joseph, who initially intended to conceal the fact that he had already contacted Christopher, hesitated but eventually confessed.

“Fanny, I’ve spoken to him.”

This revelation initially took Fanny aback, then asked, “So, Joseph, did your ask on my behalf? Why is he not showing up? He promised me…”

There was a hint of frustration and accusation in her tone, but she knew it. would not upset Joseph.

Indeed, Joseph did not display any signs of annoyance. Instead, his disdain for Christopher intensified due to her attitude.

“Christopher, he returned to Riverdon,” Joseph stated through clenched teeth.

“What? Chris, he went back to Riverdon?” Fanny was stunned.

Her blood ran cold as she looked at Joseph, her voice trembling as she asked, “Joseph, does Christopher know something?”

Recalling the morning’s phone call and the numerous missed calls from Christopher the previous night, she felt a surge of panic.

Joseph furrowed his brow but eventually admitted, “He was trying to reach you last night, and he was the one who realized he couldn’t get through to you. I–I…” Joseph was overwhelmed with guilt and could not continue.

Although Christopher was the first to notice that Fanny was unreachable, Joseph was the only person he managed to contact. Christopher would not have known if it had not been for Joseph’s slip–up.

“It’s all my fault for being too anxious yesterday and accidentally letting it slip,” Joseph said, looking sad and guilty.

Fanny trembled while staring at Joseph, realizing that he was the one who informed Christopher. It all made sense now, as Joseph was the only one who had reached her cell phone yesterday. He also mentioned speaking to Kaydron.

Although Kaydron had not said much, Joseph easily guessed his intentions

at the time.

Filled with hatred and restrained resentment in her eyes, Fanny knew she could not show it and could only hang her head to conceal her emotions. She tightly pinched her arm to stay calm.

“Don’t blame Joseph,” she said softly, her voice slightly hoarse, with her head down. Finally, she looked up at Joseph and then cried uncontrollably into his arms.

Joseph caught her, sinking to the floor, his heart aching with panic. Hist Fanny was genuinely kind, not even blaming him in this situation. He comforted her, trying to stop her tears but understanding that letting her emotions out would be better, so he did not try to persuade her.

As she cried, Fanny suddenly choked out, “Joseph, I want to take a few days off. Can you help me ask for a leave?”

When Joseph heard Fanny change her mind about going to school, he was relieved, then quickly assured her, “Fanny, don’t worry, I will help you ask for leave.”

Upon hearing this, Fanny leaned against him, softly sobbing, trying to calm herself. Joseph continued to comfort her. Noticing her pale face, he quickly sent her home to rest. Watching Joseph leave, Fanny felt gloomy.

With Kaydron’s deadline approaching, Fanny finally decided to go. Kaydron had her indecent photos, and she could not risk being harassed. Even if she would be harassed, she had to go. Fanny changed into conservative attire, wearing a mask and hat, and headed to the cinema.

As she arrived at the cinema entrance, she saw Kaydron waiting lazily on the side of the road. She shuddered at first, feeling disgusted instinctively, even considering leaving. But Kaydron locked eyes with her and then dialed her number. Fanny quickly hung up, but Kaydron noticed her and

approached.

“Why are you dressed so conservatively?” He leered at her, his face lecherous.

Fanny remained silent, turning to walk away. She had come to talk to him and retrieve her photos, but the crowded cinema entrance was not the place.

Seeing her about to leave, Kaydron grabbed her and insisted she come in to watch the movie with him.

“Let go of me!” she growled softly, “I don’t want to watch a movie. Let’s talk outside.”

Kaydron threatened to expose her photos if she resisted, causing Fanny to freeze in fear.
