Scarlett Glenn smiled and said, "Mum, when are you coming back? Although I'd like you to spend a few more loving days with Uncle, I really miss eating the food you cook."
"Mum will come back as soon as possible, okay? Just bear with it a little longer." The fake Mrs. Herd felt Scarlett Glenn hadn't suspected anything, so she spoke more casually.
"Alright then… On the day you went to the Capital City, you said you'd make braised ribs for me. I've been thinking about it ever since."
"Alright, alright, I'll make it for you as soon as I'm back… Whatever you want to eat."
Scarlett Glenn's smile gradually faded, and her hand holding the mobile phone tightened bit by bit.
"Mum, you can stay in the Capital City with Uncle for two more days, but you must come back before the New Year."
"Okay, I promise…"
"Mum… goodbye…"
"Goodbye."
As soon as she put down the mobile phone, Scarlett Glenn's eyes turned red.
