The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 472

“All right, Mom, I have to go. Talk later,” Dylan said, hanging up before Mrs. Austin could reply.

He set his phone down with a frustrated sigh.

He hated when people tried to meddle in his life—especially now, with the Nova Project mess still hanging over his head. He had no energy left to deal with anything else.

As he turned, he caught sight of Rebecca, the corners of her mouth twitching as she struggled not to laugh. Instantly, his expression darkened.

“Were you eavesdropping on my call?”

Rebecca jumped, glancing at him with a hint of embarrassment, like a kid caught sneaking cookies from the jar. “Your phone was on speaker, and we’re sitting right next to each other…” she mumbled, voice barely above a whisper.

She really hadn’t meant to listen in, but Mrs. Austin’s voice was so loud, it would’ve been impossible not to hear.

Dylan glanced at his phone again, his scowl deepening.

After a long, tense silence, he finally asked, “How much did you hear?”

Rebecca cleared her throat and looked away, choosing not to answer.

Just then, Dylan’s phone chimed again and again—Mrs. Austin had started sending a barrage of messages, insisting he see the doctor first thing in the morning.

Rebecca eyed him warily before venturing, “Maybe you should listen to your mom and see a doctor, sir. Just to be safe.”

She swore she wasn’t trying to mock him—she genuinely thought he should get checked out. After all, you can’t fight any battles without your health.

Dylan’s jaw clenched. He snapped his phone facedown on the console and said coldly, “My business is none of your concern.”

Rebecca just shrugged. Fine. If he didn’t want help, she wasn’t about to force it.

The car lapsed into an awkward silence.
