“Er, this place is so boring, honey. There are no toys or snacks here.
You wouldn’t like it here. That’s why I didn’t bring you with me.”
Elena pursed her lips and finally compromised.
“Well, that does sound really boring.”
I breathed a sigh of relief. After chatting for a little while, I was about to say goodbye when Elena asked mysteriously, “Mommy, is it because you’re on a date with Daddy? Is that why you didn’t bring me?”
I was speechless.
What on earth made her think that? But she wasn’t wrong, to a certain extent.
I was wracking my brains trying to think about how to answer her when there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Debra, you’ve been in there for a long time. Are you okay?”
It was Caleb.
I didn’t know how to respond. Then, the knocking became more intense and urgent.
Lost for words, I immediately held my breath, wondering how to muddle through.
“Why won’t you answer me? What’re you doing in there?” Caleb asked worriedly.
My eyes darted around the bathroom desperately. Suddenly, my eyes Lit up and I quickly ran to turn on the shower.
“I’m taking a shower. Why?” I lied through my teeth, trying to sound indignant.
Unexpectedly, the door was kicked open as soon as I finished speaking.
How dare he break in?
Damn it!
I scrambled to hang up the phone in a hurry.
But right before I hung up, Elena’s voice sounded.
“Mommy!
Debra’s POV:
Upon hearing the childish voice, Caleb immediately fixed his eyes on the phone in my hand.
I was so startled by his sudden barging in that I couldn’t help but curse. “Bastard! I told you I was taking a shower!”
He had kicked the door so hard that the door to the bathroom was still shaking.
