Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: Don’t I Care About You?_1 Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: Don’t I Care About You?_1 She left the bathroom, changing into her pyjamas in the bedroom.

When she came out, the house was empty, devoid of any trace of human presence.

Only after she had taken a shower and relaxed did she realize how hungry she was.

But there was no Christy Xenos to cook for her anymore.

Wendy Clarke wanted to contact Adrian Zhekova, to ask him when he’d let Christy Xenos go.

But she realized, for the first time, that she did not even have Adrian Zhekova’s contact details.

Frustrated, Wendy Clarke wondered if she had been played by Adrian Zhekova.

But when it came to dealing with Adrian Zhekova, she realized she had no leverage.

Tomorrow was Sunday, she couldn’t confront him at the office even if she wanted to.

If Christy Xenos still hasn’t come back tomorrow, then she would confront Adrian Zhekova in Pingla first thing Monday morning.

This was a promise Adrian Zhekova had made to her.

He must keep his word.

Just then, Wendy Clarke’s phone started to ring.

Wendy Clarke jumped, fearing that it was Ethan Zhekova who was calling.

But then she saw it was Joshua Clarke.

Wendy Clarke picked up and said, “Dad.”
“Wendy, how are you and your.

.

.mom?” Joshua Clarke figured that since Wendy was able to answer the phone freely, she must have been released.

And besides, he never thought Adrian Zhekova would harm them.

The most he would do was temporarily detain them, to prevent them from disrupting the wedding.

“You’re home?” Wendy Clarke asked.

“I’m home.” He arrived in the evening, “A lot of the bedding and clothes in the house were mouldy, unusable, so I bought some new ones.

I’ve cleaned the house again, and now it’s mostly tidy.”
“There’s some more stuff left to do, but that will have to wait till tomorrow,” as Joshua Clarke said, “I’m really too tired today.”
Despite claiming exhaustion, Joshua Clarke’s voice sounded relaxed and happy.

Returning to the familiar environment of Nork City, Joshua Clarke truly felt a sense of ease and comfort.

And not having Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke watching over him.

Although he was alone, he felt a sense of freedom.

He felt incredibly free, incredibly comfortable.

He was free of any restrictions, he could do whatever he wanted, say what he wanted to say.

Adrian Zhekova was also providing him with living expenses, which were much more than what Wendy gave him.

His living expenses were covered, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he had a big villa to live in.

He could even hire a housemaid, and still have money left over.

Joshua Clarke planned to contact a housekeeping company tomorrow to arrange for a maid.

To clean, do laundry, and cook.

He wouldn’t have to do anything all day, just relax!

Wasn’t this much more comfortable than being in Belfard?

Wendy Clarke could tell that Joshua Clarke was in a good mood.

This made her somewhat annoyed and she asked, “Aren’t you worried about mom and me at all?”
Joshua Clarke stopped briefly, a slight hint of guilt in his voice, “Isn’t this why I called?”
“I estimated the time and you should have arrived in the evening.

It’s a bit late to call now, isn’t it?” Wendy Clarke sarcastically replied.

“Wendy, what do you mean by that?

Don’t I care about you guys?

I wanted to call earlier, but I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to answer if you were still being held.

It’s late now and you should be back.

That’s why I called.”
“And remember, Adrian Zhekova is Cindy’s husband.

He won’t hurt you.

Didn’t he already send me back to Nork City?

All you and your mother might have had to do was suffer a little.”
If anything really went wrong, it wouldn’t be possible.

“And your.

.

.mom?

” Joshua Clarke asked again.
