"Don't you know how much Adam cares about his mother? How dare you make such an excuse? No wonder he doesn't like you."
I gritted my teeth in anger, but I still begged Elvira.
"I beg you to give the phone to Adam, okay? Please. If you want, I can divorce him now! The situation is really urgent."
There was no point in continuing to talk to Elvira, because she just thought it was a trick I used to steal Adam's heart.
"Who is it?" Adam asked in a deep and hoarse voice.
"It's just a crank call," Elvira said casually, but it made Norma would die.
"Don't call me anymore. Adam has to spend my birthday with me. Nothing is more important than my birthday."
I wanted to say something more, but the call was quickly hung up.
I stood up helplessly, and saw tears in Norma's eyes through the glass window. My heart felt like a sharp knife was stabbing it repeatedly.
Norma treated me like her own daughter, and I really couldn't bear to see her leave with regrets.
I borrowed cell phones from passers-by and called Adam repeatedly.
But no one answered the call and even eventually the phone was turned off.
