But, this couldn't be right. How could Mum not come back? No matter how much she couldn't bear to leave Anthony Davis, she would come back because she wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of Scarlett Glenn.
Ethan Herd frowned, feeling something was off today.
"Scarlett Glenn, did Uncle call you to say Mum isn't coming back?"
"No, he didn't. I'll call later to ask. Dinner will take a while, why don't you go upstairs and change your clothes first."
"Alright..."
Ethan Herd went upstairs but didn't change his clothes first; instead, he called Anthony Davis.
He felt something was not right and wanted to get it clear.
"Uncle... Is my Mum not coming back tonight?"
Anthony Davis said, "Yes, she's not coming back."
He was still hesitating whether to tell Ethan Herd that his Mum was already in trouble.
He was still at work, hadn't gotten off, and didn't want to face that fake now.
Ethan Herd asked, "Is it you not letting her come back, or does she not want to?"
