1. We don't have a relationship an tell you where I am?" Jack's voice was filled with anger as he spoke. "Evelyn, do you wantto take your grandmother out of the nursing home?" My eyes narrowed, and my voice turned cold. "Jack, how dare you! She's your mother!" Jack scoffed. "My mother? That old hag never took care of me. I'm already doing her a favor by feeding and clothing her. But you.. she raised you until you were ten. Don't you care about her life or death now?" When Jack divorced my mother, Kayla, I was just three, Kayla leftwithout a second thought, and Jack, too preoccupied with his career, sentto live with my grandmother in the countryside.

Upon learning how miserable I was, she spoke to Jack, and I was eventually brought back to the Wiley family. When I returned, Jack had already married tvy, and Elene was almost seven years old.

I turned around and saw Leah running out of the school Ethanm stood under a street lamp, wearing a black hoodie and jeans. He was holding something in his hand.
I hadn't seen him in over ten days, but somehow the boyish innocence on his face had given way to more defined features. Leah ran up to Erhan, a sweet smile on her face and her hands clasped behind her back. "You're so fast," she said.
