Chapter 23 A Stressful Day
Anna smirked. “Who said this was hers? There’s no name on it. I say it’s mine. Don’t worry. We were able to chase her out seven years ago. What can she do to us now?” With that, she went off with the design book in her hands.
Amy quickly held her back. “Hey, wait. You should behave yourself more these days. Don’t make your father angry again. He was busy enough as it is all morning with that post of you on the internet.”
“What post on the internet?” Anna was perplexed. She was so occupied with the design sketches that she did not manage to get on the internet.
“I think one of the customers at the restaurant yesterday recorded a short clip of what happened and put it online. Look at this,” Amy said as she pulled up that video to show Anna.
Anna was fuming by the end of it. Who had that much time to waste to put something as trivial as that on the internet?
“What did Dad say?”
“What can he say in front of me? Anyway, he did not seem too happy. Last night, he even told me that he had never felt so humiliated in his life before. He only married Olivia off to Hugo for your sake, but you need to know when to back off too. More importantly, Olivia is back now. I don’t think your father is that mad at her anymore. He even brought up her child yesterday and seemed quite happy as he was talking. You and Hugo are also on good terms now so don’t bother Olivia for no good reason. Come home this weekend for a meal. Bring Mitch along too.”
Anna answered, “I got it.”
…
The moment Anna returned home that night, the suffocating smell of cigarettes filled her throat. She looked over and saw Hugo nestled on the sofa completely wasted. His facial hair had grown out, the corners of his lips were slightly swollen, and he looked like a mess.
Did he get beaten up? She changed out of her shoes and went inside.
At the dining table, a chubby little boy, Mitchell Gray, threw the bowl in front of him to the ground in defiance. “I don’t want this! I said I don’t want to eat this!”
