Summer Ford yawned, her voice sounding genuinely tired, "I'm at Tanya's place, will stay here tonight."
Ethan Laurent was taken aback but didn't insist.
Summer Ford couldn't hear any sound from his side and was ready to hang up when Ethan Laurent's voice faintly came through, "It's actually a family gathering this afternoon."
Summer Ford was slightly startled.
"Get some sleep early. I'll pick you up from school tomorrow." Ethan Laurent didn't say much, just hung up after these two sentences.
Summer Ford held her phone, thinking about what he had just said, momentarily losing her focus.
She didn't misunderstand the situation at noon, thinking that Ethan Laurent had been busy with Raine Sullivan for a few days. She thought that the lunch might have been arranged by Enzo Laurent to make Ethan Laurent meet Raine Sullivan alone.
However, Ethan Laurent said it was a family gathering.
