Marrying My Ex-boyfriend's Uncle

c.37- I have a husband

"Master, your phone is ringing!"

Knocking on the workroom of Ezra, the maid raised her tone. Annoying the man within the room. A scowl displayed.

He headed towards the door and opened it; "Lower your voice" he spat.

Causing the maid to bow her head in an instant. "My apologies. It is a phone call from young master. I thought it was an urgent phone call" She briefly explained.

Now, Ezra's hand seized the phone. "Leave" A command fell upon.

Making the girl ran away promptly. "Zane?" The doubt echoed in Ezra's tone.

Why would his nephew contact him? Did something occur to Vera? First person who came to his mind was his wife.

He was already worried before he heard the situation from the other side.

Was his wife safe even? The query wandered as he accepted the call.

"What is it?" Ezra calmly asked. Not seeing the chaotic future ahead.

"Uncle, I cannot contact Vera"

The trembling tone of Zane quieted down the man entirely. He stood there.

Thoughts lingering. Attempting to understand the words clearly.

"We went out for brunch. She, then, claimed she needed to head out to get her friend who was in a fight"

Zane could feel the cold sweats rolling down from his forehead. "And?"

Ezra had yet to react openly. Tranquility was heard in his voice still.

"It's been four hours, uncle. I have called her for hundred times, I swear. But she has yet to respond to my messages and calls. I think something is wrong there"

Zane disclosed. He squeezed his eyes; waiting for his uncle to yell at him.

Yet, Ezra remained silent for a few minutes. Causing Zane to worry more.

"Uncle?" At last, he voiced. "Did you leave the men when you two were out?"

Ezra finally replied, but with a question. "Ah, yes. Vera was uncomfortable with them" A frown tugged upon Zane's face.

"All right. I will find her. You better pray she is not hurt, Zane Kingston"

The threat was sufficient to send chills down to Zane's spine. He knew his uncle well; how terrifying his uncle could be.

"I am sorry"

Once Zane muttered the apology, Ezra ended the phone call without hesitation.

"Did she run away?" Doubt began to stir negative thoughts on the man's mind.

In hurry, he rushed out of the mansion. The friend who got into a fight?

Wasn't it obvious who she was meeting? The only friend who would probably get into a fight was Aspen Henley.

"Vera, what are you trying to do..." Beneath a tight scowl, a murmur crawled up between Ezra's lips as he drove off.

He had this doubt since the night someone broke into experimental building. He tried to deny the suspicion.

He even made up excuses to believe his wife had yet to discover his secrets.

But his wife started to behave strangely which fueled his doubts more.

He could only hope his suspicions on Vera were unfeasible in the end.

Soon, Ezra reached to the bar where Aspen worked at. He had all information.
