Chapter 3138
"But my mom said she wants to invite you over for dinner. You haven't been there in several days, and she even asked me if I did something to upset you. If you don't go, she'll definitely think I made you angry, and I'll get an earful," Ellar pleaded with Patricia, looking pitiful.
"You could explain it to her," Patricia said, somewhat helplessly.
"I could explain a thousand times, but it won't be as effective as you showing up," Ellar sighed. "I feel like I must have been adopted and not actually born to my mom."
Patricia couldn't help but laugh. "I have plans tonight. How about this: I'll go back with you to chat a little with your mom, but then I have to leave."
She had already made plans with Charlie to investigate the person connected to Doretta that evening.
"As long as you agree," Ellar instantly brightened up, his eyes shining.
"Remember, I really have something to do and can't stay long,” Patricia reminded him again.
"I know, just your presence is enough," Ellar sighed in relief, genuinely afraid of going back home only to be scolded by his mom.
Watching Ellar happily leave, Patricia chuckled and shook her head.

In the late afternoon, the sun was strong.
Nicole and Lulu were on their way back after having dinner.
"Patricia is going over to Emma's place tonight. Maybe we could join?" Lulu said, grinning.
