Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 49

"Mom, when are you coming home?"

The night was deep, and the car moved steadily forward. Adrian's innocent voice echoed through the phone.

Mila replied softly, "Mom has something to do, I won't be back."

Mila paused for a couple of seconds, pressing her lips together before resolutely replying, "I'm busy these days, no time. Let your dad keep you company for now."

"Okay."

Adrian said with a hint of sadness, "Then, Mom, make sure you call me when you come back. I'll miss you."

"...Alright."

Adrian hadn't called like this in a long time, showing he missed her.
