Chapter 145
There was a familiar voice.
“Ella, are you in there?”
They seemed to be speaking in the direction of the toilet.
Stella’s eyes went wide in an instant.
Justin came to look for her.
Justin came out to seek her after she had been gone for quite some time and the food had all been served.
Before leaving, he ordered Bryce to not go anywhere.
Bryce nodded like a good boy. But right after Justin left, his face fell, and he took out his phone.
After some thought, he sent the text out. Not long later, he received a phone call.
Bryce’s eyes widened as he turned to face the direction Justin had just left, cautiously answereing the phone only after he was certain that Justin wouldn’t return.
“Mom…” he opened his mouth and called her in a very pitiful voice.
She glanced at her watch to see the time.
In the office, her colleague gestured to her. She frowned and said, “I have a few things to take care of. When I’m not busy anymore I’ll celebrate your birthday, okay? Call me after you’re done eating with them.” Bryce didn’t want to, but after hearing what she said, he couldn’t help but agree. “Have a good day at work, mum.” Tina hummed and after a while, she said, “Send me your location.” After hanging up the phone, she went back to her office. She was a lawyer and right now she has a very tricky case in her hand. There was a huge chance that she would be spending the night working overtime in the office tonight. Her colleague saw that she was a little overjoyed when got the call, but when she came back, she looked solemn. So, he asked casually, “Who called you?” She shook her head and answered, “My son.” “Why? Did he cause trouble in school? You seem upset.”
“Nonsense.” Tina punched him lightly on the shoulder.
Her colleague smiled and continued discussing the case with her. She paused for a moment before suddenly saying, “We still have a week, right?” Her colleague seemed to notice something was wrong and asked, “Did something happen at home?”
“I think it’ll be better if I go and take a look. I’ll be uneasy if I dont,” she said with some embarrassment.
