My dad glared at me with an unhappy face and snorted. "Isn't it because you were not at home in the early morning that we thought you were missing, so we called the police?"
I deliberately pretended to be speechless and picked up the breakfast in front of my dad, indicating him. "I went out for a running and bought breakfast for you. I'm not missing yet!"
At this time, my mother also came out of the living room with a very unhappy face. When she saw me, she scolded. "Who are you lying to? I comforted you that you were not in the bedroom at midnight. I thought you were going to do something, but you didn't come back until morning. Tell me, what did you do last night?"
I almost blew up at the words. "Last night, Vincent forced me to go out. Now, my mother found out. What should I do? What should I do? What should I explain?"
"I... I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to the rooftop to watch the stars after midnight!" I had no choice but to say to my parents.
Fortunately, I used to go upstairs to watch stars, otherwise, I really had no excuse to hide.
My dad was the first one to believe and forgive me. He bent down and took soy milk from my hand, and then said to my mother. "Ah, my daughter is old enough to know how to do things properly. She said she was going to watch the stars, so it's absolutely right!"
My mother seemed to be still worried about me. She just glanced at my face and saw the evidence left by Vincent biting my lips last night.
"What's wrong with your lips?" Looking at my almost swollen lips, my mother still asked me.
Only then did I remember what Vincent did last night. My eyes flickered , I stammered and explained. "Um, I didn't see clearly last night when I went to the rooftop. I knocked on the ground!"
This explanation was too silly. Everyone could see that I was lying. If I was really cheating, why am I fine on my face and hands, but my mouth?
What kind of person was my mother? She was a experienced person. This was not an explanation at all. She glared at me. When she was about to speak, my father came over and said. "Well, well, it's not easy for her to come home. What are you doing?"
After that, he held the soybean milk and bread in one hand and held my mother's shoulder with the other hand, indicating him to go back to the kitchen. My mother had doubts in her heart, but because of my father's intervention, she had to give it up and go with my father to the kitchen to get breakfast.
When I saw that I had finally passed this stage, my mind couldn't help but be in a state of chaos. It was too dangerous. Looks like even if Vincent didn't order me to go back, I wouldn't dare to stay at home any longer. Who knew how my mum would sharply interrogate me later? If I were to reveal it, wouldn't I be... dead?
After breakfast, I told my parents that I would go back in the afternoon. My dad thought I would come to stay at home for a few more days, but he didn't expect me to go back so early. So he looked at me with some disappointment and asked. "You just came one day? Stay a few more days?"
I smiled helplessly and explained. "No, the president of the company is not on holiday, so I only ask for leave today. If I leave more, it should be several times more than the expense!"
The problem was that if I didn't come back in the afternoon, it wouldn't be as simple as losing money, but... alas...
My father was a reasonable person. Knowing that he couldn't keep me, he sadly complained. "Alas, after you leave, there are only me and your mother left at home. We usually worry about you the most. I don't know if you are well over there!"
