“I’m not going to mince words with you. Just two things. Firstly, where are you? Secondly, why didn’t you let me or the Fullers manage the club for you? Instead, you’re letting that woman do it. Don’t you know what she has done to your parents?”
I knew that Emery was standing up for me, asking the questions which I did not know how to ask Summer.
However, I did not blame Summer. I was just a little disappointed.
I was feeling dejected for not being able to understand my child.
Yet, Summer avoided Emery’s questions. “I have my plans, and I will return when the time comes. Please tell my parents not to worry about me. I’m busy now, so I’ll hang up.”
“Hold on.”
Beep!
“Hello? Summer! Summer!”
Emery slammed the steering wheel in anger, accidentally hitting the horn.
The honk startled the sparrows on the trees, but an awkward silence filled the car.
Moments later, Emery joked, “I didn’t know your daughter is so rebellious.”
I smiled bitterly, not knowing if I should be sad or happy.
After Emery sent me home, she told me she had things to do and left. She did not go into much detail since we had no common topics at work.
Upon scanning through the house, I did not see Ashton anywhere. It seemed like he had left the house after me earlier.
I instinctively sent Joseph a message to ask him about Ashton’s whereabouts.
He instantly replied: Madam, I’m accompanying Ms. Stovall in M Country.
I paused for a moment before I lowered my head and typed: Didn’t Summer leave by herself? Weren’t you with Ashton these past few days?
