They answered simultaneously, “Who’s here with him(her)!?”
Zephyr was puzzled. They looked like they had just had a big fight. He also vaguely saw two people conversing when he walked over, now realizing that it was them.
Zephyr was thoughtful, not knowing what the grudge was between them.
“Hey!” Rowan widened his eyes when he saw Zephyr. “Why are you still here? Aren’t you taking your girlfriend to meet your elder today?”
“I’m going to pick her up.”
“Then hurry up!” Rowan wanted nothing more than to kick Zephyr’s bottom.
“Mr. Irwin.” Zephyr frowned. “You—”
“A ghost covered my eyes, and I took the wrong way!” Rowan rolled his eyes and slipped into his car.
Zephyr looked at his mother in confusion when he drove off. Before he could ask about it, she exclaimed, “Ugh, unlucky!”
“Mom, what’s going on?”
“I saw a ghost in broad daylight!”
Zephyr was exasperated. “Mom, you know Rowan Irwin?”
Janine fell silent with a glum expression. It only made Zephyr more certain in assuming that there was an unknown past between them.
“Mom?” Realization struck Zephyr, and he was horrified. “He’s not… the reason for your divorce back then, is he?”
Janine glared at him and slapped him right off the bat.
“Do you think your mother’s blind!? Even if I cheated, I wouldn’t look for someone like him!”
“Then how did you know each other?”
