Chapter 1372: Monica Escapes
Just then, her phone rang, the sound pulling her thoughts back to reality. Monica took out her phone
and saw that it was Tristan calling. She immediately chased away all the negative emotions and joy
began to grow in her heart. Her entire mood shifted.
Belinda, in her room, also heard the phone ring and thought it was Algerone Swain calling, so she
gently cracked open her door. She watched as her daughter answered the call with a smile, holding the
phone to her ear, "Good morning."
"Good morning," Tristan's voice was low and gentle, "I'm done with my work now and planning to go to
the hospital. Can I come pick you up now?"
Now??
Monica wasn't prepared at all, but she was still looking forward to seeing him, so she smiled and said,
"Sure, I don't have anything else going on anyway."
"Alright, see you soon." In truth, Tristan had already set off, his car heading towards the hotel, "I'll be
there in a few minutes."
That quickly??
"Okay, I'll come down right away." Monica felt a bit flustered, thinking she should change her clothes or
redo her hairstyle, or perhaps apply her makeup a bit more delicately. But there was no time for that
now.
After hanging up, she turned around and went back to her room. As she came out with her bag, she
bumped into her mother, who was glaring at her with a murderous expression!
Monica's footsteps faltered, "…"
"You're not going." Belinda emphasized again, "I don't agree with you being with Tristan!"
"I'm sorry." Monica gripped her bag tightly, facing her mother's gaze with an unusually firm tone, "I can
listen to you on everything else, but not when it comes to matters of the heart! I can't stop what my
heart decides!"
As soon as she spoke, Monica rushed to the door before her mother could catch her, opening it and
running out!
Belinda chased after her but came up empty, "Monica!!"
The girl didn't go to the elevator but dashed into the stairwell, her figure soon disappearing from her
mother's sight.
Belinda was furious! But she was also worried that Monica might have twisted her ankle running so
fast! Angry and worried at the same time!
Unable to contain her anger, she stomped on the roses thrown at the door, crushing them!
Her heart was full of rage towards Algerone Swain!
He was already married, yet he still used roses to disgust her!
Monica ran down the stairs and out of the hotel lobby, just in time to see her father preparing to get in
his car not far away.
Algerone Swain inadvertently turned his gaze and saw his daughter at once. He had just opened the
driver's side door, then closed it, "Monica?"
"Dad!" The girl looked around, Tristan hadn't arrived yet, so she jogged towards her father, "I'm sorry, I
apologize to you on behalf of mom!"
"What apology? I know her temper all too well," Algerone Swain didn't seem to take it to heart. He
stepped forward, looking at his daughter panting, and asked with concern, "What's going on? Why are
you running so fast?"
"Tristan asked me out, but mom wouldn't let me go, so I ran down the stairs," the girl told her father
honestly, "We're going to the hospital to see his brother. I promised yesterday, and I don't want to break
my word. He'll be here soon."
"Dad supports you two being together." The middle-aged man patted her shoulder, "We'll slowly noveldrama
influence your mom's side. Let's work together."
"She threw away the roses. Next time… don't send flowers." Monica said this, actually trying to test if
he would still take the initiative.
The man laughed, "It's already good enough to let me in. Let's take it slow, we're not in a hurry. With so
many people working together, we're not afraid of not being able to convince her, right?"
The girl was amused by her father's demeanor, and the initially unhappy morning suddenly became
more relaxed and comfortable.
