Chapter 943 - 962: The Wife at Home Is Missing
Just as An Nan was lost in thought, her mother-in-law’s voice continued to reach her ears: "Since we’ve finished eating, we can be at ease."
An Nan looked at her in surprise: "Mom, what’s the matter?"
The former continued to smile mysteriously at her: "Be patient for a moment, and you’ll know soon." If her guess was right, those two men would arrive shortly.
She’s curious, before they get here, what interesting things have happened at home tonight. It should be quite exciting.
And indeed, it turned out to be just as exciting as he expected.
Lin Mubai hurried home after finishing work at the company, expecting to see his pregnant wife with a happy smile. However, the reality was that the entire Lin Family only had Mr. Lin and Old Madam Lin sitting in the living room watching TV, along with his equally displeased father.
As for the latter, he acted as if he hadn’t seen him and directly ignored him, focusing his attention on the other two: "Grandpa, Grandma, where’s Mom?"
Mr. Lin looked up, his gaze fell on his grandson with a seemingly amused expression, causing the latter to become visibly uncomfortable: "Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that."
The former continued with a seemingly amused expression but didn’t speak. But Old Madam Lin couldn’t stand it anymore, gave him a glare, and spoke with a hint of disapproval: "You’re already so old, why are you still acting like a child, why can’t you just say it directly."
Mr. Lin was very aggrieved by the rebuke but could only yield since it was his esteemed wife who had reprimanded him.
Old Madam Lin then continued to address her grandson with a smile: "You child, obviously want to know where your wife has gone, yet you’re looking around, let Grandma tell you, your Mom, your wife, and your good grandson Jiayou went out shopping today and haven’t returned yet."
As she finished speaking, she glanced at the wall clock and continued: "They called earlier and said they won’t come back for dinner tonight."
Lin Mubai immediately frowned: "Did Mom say where they’re having dinner?" After all, it’s still early, he could make it in time to join them for dinner, Lin Mubai thought it all through in his mind, but reality was quite harsh.
Old Madam Lin’s laughter shattered all his plans: "Your Mom didn’t say, and I didn’t ask, if you want to go, you can call and ask." After so many years, Old Madam Lin has some insight, and she could see what was on her grandson’s mind at a glance.
Because she could see too clearly, Lin Mubai felt a bit embarrassed, then he pretended to be calm, took out his phone, and dialed his Mom’s number. The phone rang dozens of times, but still no one answered, he frowned slightly and dialed again.
Still, no one answered.
Now Lin Mubai began to feel uneasy.
At this moment, Lin Ze, who had been sitting quietly on the side, spoke: "Stop calling, your Mom is doing it on purpose, no matter how many times you call it won’t work." He had called since the afternoon, no less than twenty times, and even called home later, and she wouldn’t answer his call, which can only mean one thing, that woman is doing it deliberately, deliberately not answering his calls.
