Chapter 68
Tristan was absent from the studio for the entire day, and Sylvia felt a lot more comfortable without his presence.
It was then time to pick her kids up from kindergarten.
She drove while Isabel and Liam chatted incessantly in their baby seats in the rear.
Then, her phone rang. It was Aunt Tonya. It was rare for Aunt Tonya to call her at this hour, which sparked her curiosity.
She stopped the car by the side of the road and picked up the phone.
Aunt Tonya’s voice came through the phone, fueled with anxiety and anger. “Syl! Sonia is here with a couple of men, and she’s throwing out things out!”
Sylvia reacted grimly. She said, “Aunt Tonya, take care of yourself first. I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, she floored the pedal and sprinted back
Liam and Isabel sensed that something was not right.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Liam asked. “Something happened but it’s nothing serious. You guys don’t have to worry,” Sylvia said.
Liam saw the nervous look on her face through the rearview mirror. He blinked several times but did not say anything else. A while later, the car arrived at the Old District and went straight to the Carters’.
Confused, Isabel asked, “Mommy, why are you bringing us here?”
“I have something urgent to deal with, so I have to send you guys home first. I’ll come to find you when I have the time, and we can go out again,” Sylvia said with a smile.
She then brought the two of them down from the car.
Isabel noticed something was not right, hence the pout on her face.
Liam said goodbye to his mother before holding his sister’s hand and entering the house.
Sylvia watched the two of them go inside before she drove away.
When her car left, Liam and Isabel snuck out of the house.
“Brother, are we really going to follow Mommy?” Isabel asked.
“Aunt Tonya called Mommy just now. Something must have happened to them. I’m calling Uncle Jacob and Uncle Ben,” Liam answered.
“Okay.”
