Chapter 1979
That way they could use the excuse of visiting their parents or keeping them company, to have affairs.
Barely had Rosalynn left when Mike and Calvin rounded up the kids for home.
"Are Mommy and Daddy not home from work yet?" Ivy asked, looking around for her parents and then querying Laura.
Laura was not smart, but she knew how to read a room.
She had a feeling that the peace that had recently settled over the house was about to be shattered.
"No, they just called to say they won't be home for dinner, so you guys should eat and then go do your homework and go to bed.
Don't wait up,’ Laura quickly replied, " I made your favorite types of cookies, they're fresh from the oven! Come, let's go to the dining room!"
Seeing Laura's anxious demeanor, Calvin became suspicious, so he sent a message to Rosalynn.
"Ms. Gabriella, you're not coming home for dinner?"
Rosalynn called back almost immediately. Calvin quickly answered.
"Calvin, I have to go out and take care of something. I'll probably be back late. Please keep an eye on Cory and Ivy and make sure they get to bed early."
"Alright."
Rosalynn's voice didn't sound unusual.
Calvin assumed that Laura must have messed up something again and didn't think much of it.
The car soon hit the highway, racing towards its destination.
Rosalynn didn't know exactly where Maddie's old house was located, only that Maddie was born and raised outside of H City, and that she used to visit that house from time to time when her grandparents were still alive. After her grandparents passed away, Maddie never went back.
What was Wayne doing rushing there first thing in the morning?
And why did he end up at the police station?
Why call Ableson over at this time?
Wayne looked up when he heard his name.
A moment later, Wayne went to change his clothes.
The duty officer complained to Ableson, "Your boss is quite a character. He'd rather sit here in soaking wet clothes than change into the ones we prepared for him."
"What happened?" Ableson asked in a deep voice, "How did my boss end up looking like this?"
"He intervened in a domestic violence situation;’ the officer replied, "He saw someone abusing a child and stepped in to stop it. He's definitely in the right, but the person he beat up is currently in the hospital and it's going to be a tricky situation."
"Huh?" Ableson felt like he was listening to a foreign language, "So why is he all wet?"
"We don't know. We asked him but he wouldn't talk,’ the officer replied.
At that moment, Wayne emerged, having changed his clothes.
Ableson immediately handed over his business card, "If there's any compensation or anything, just contact me."
