?Chapter 310:


    Marissa realized she couldn’t send Connor the message—he had blocked her. She hadn’t been overly upset about being blocked and had even chuckled at Connor’s immature action. Yet, when she really needed to confront him, her inability to do so infuriated her.


    She bit her lip in frustration and dialed Connor’s number directly. She expected him to pick up instantly as he usually did, but this time, the phone rang for ten long seconds before he answered.


    With each passing second, her irritation grew. She was nearly at her breaking point by the time he picked up. Fortunately, he answered just in time. As the call connected, she heard his indifferent greeting, “Hello?”


    Connor usually greeted her calls with warmth, his voice soft and inviting. However, this time, he seemed distant. She could sense his coldness even through the phone. Marissa felt deeply saddened by this change.


    She had grown ustomed to his affection and constant attention. His sudden detachment was unfamiliar to her, and she found herself speechless on the call.

    From the other end, Connor said, “Miss Nash, if there’s nothing you wish to discuss, I’ll end the call.”


    “Wait!” Marissa snapped back to reality and quickly said, “Don’t hang up. There’s something important I need to discuss.”


    “Oh?” His tone edged with sarcasm, Connor asked, “Miss Nash, are you nning to divorce me again? Unfortunately, I haven’t yet consoled my grandmother. We can’t proceed with a divorce just yet.”


    “That’s not what I wanted to talk about,” Marissa replied. The two children’s existence had been revealed. The truth about their sham marriage had alsoe to light. Rushing the divorce was no longer a priority. What troubled her more was the need to address her sleepwalking issues.


    “Oh?” Connor responded yfully. “Miss Nash, what can I assist you with then?”


    “Um… Ahem!” Feeling her cheeks heat up, Marissa stammered, “You. Remove me from your cklist.”


    Connor was left speechless. A brief silence followed, after which Connor let out augh. Hisughter embarrassed her so much that she blushed instantly.


    Just as she was about to lose her temper from the embarrassment, Connor said softly, “Okay. It’s done.”


    She quickly ended the call and sent him the message she had just written on WhatsApp. The message went through sessfully this time. However, Connor did not respond for quite some time. Feeling puzzled, she sent another message, saying, “I’m warning you. Don’t ignore me.”


    Even after this message, Connor’s reply was dyed. She began to suspect that Connor might have blocked her again. She decided to send an emoji as a test. While choosing one, she identally sent a kissing emoji to Connor. It went through sessfully.


    When she realized she had sent the wrong emoji, she quickly wanted to retract it. However, before she could, Connor responded, “Got it.”


    Marissa was at a loss for words. He had been online the whole time but hadn’t responded to her messages. Yet, he replied immediately after she sent that particr emoji. Did he take it the wrong way?


    Embarrassed, she quickly rified for herself, “I identally clicked that just now. I didn’t mean to send it to you.”


    This time, Connor responded promptly, “I understand.”


    Marissa was perplexed. “What do you mean you understand?”


    Connor simply said, “Ha.”


    His response left her even more baffled and increasingly frustrated. She often felt that Connormunicated in an odd way. Why couldn’t he speak more straightforwardly?


    Driven by frustration, she sent him another message
