“Finnley!” The middle-aged woman was very excited that he answered the phone. She did not blame him nor did she ask him anything. She just tried to be calm and asked, "Grandpa’s birthday is coming, are you coming back?”
"Yes." Finnley answered in a gentle voice.
Finnley knew that there would be a grand celebration on his grandfather’s 80th birthday.
As his only grandson, he had to go home to attend it or there would be rumors and his grandfather would be sad.
Finnley’s mother was very happy to hear that, but soon gently sighed, "Grandpa misses you very much, these days he had been talking about you. I will go to tell him now and he will feel at ease.”
Without waiting for Finnley to say anything, she said with a smile, "Honey, I won't disturb you anymore. You should be going to work now. Remember to have your breakfast, bye!”
Then she hung up.
In the quietness, Finnley felt a bit heavy.
He thought that his mother must be having complicated emotions as well.
When Finnley washed up and went downstairs to get into the car, his phone rang again. He checked the Caller ID, put on his headset and started the car.
“Gloria.”
“Finnley,” a girl's voice came over, she was whispering, "the Calders came over last night, I eavesdropped at the stairs and they were talking about your marriage with Eloise.”
"You gave my mom my number?”
Was he shifting the topic?
"Hey, were you listening to me?" Gloria was surprised, "You cannot escape anymore. Eloise has found you, right? Did you start dating someone else to get back at her?”
"No." Finnley said in a plain tone.
