It was difficult to deduce what Carson had in mind. I thought the truth would only come out if Carson
decided to reveal it while he was severing our relationship. My mind buzzed with all kinds of confusing
thoughts as I lay in my bed, until my dad returned. His car sounds could be heard, so I got out of bed to
head downstairs.
My father returned beside my mother, who was smiling and in good spirits, presumably because of her
luck at the games. On the other hand, I figured there could be a lot of tasks that required my dad’s Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
attention while at work due to the look of exhaustion he had on his face. Mrs. Fant poured them tea as
soon as they sat down, which my father took a sip, but my mother had 100 pills and too busy counting
the money in her purse to drink the tea.
“Mom, did you win a lot?”
“Yes, luck was on my side today.”
“Give me some too. I want some of that luck too!”
“It’s all yours!” She generously handed me all the money, which I began to count with a smile. The sight
of me doing that brought a smile to my dad’s face. “You’re still that goofball you were when you were
younger.”
“I am not a goof! I only love money!”
“I know you love them to death. Since you were younger, you hoarded things, all the while refusing to
part with them, no matter what other people told you.”
“Was I that mean?” His comments reminded me of Callie’s accusation that I was fat. “Mom, Dad, was I
fat when I was younger?”
“Clear! You were chubby and cute! Despite being two months younger than you, Callie already walked,
but you didn’t learn to walk until you were fourteen months old. Aunt Luna laughed at you for not being
able to walk due to how chubby you were.”
“That is true?” There was a twinge of dismay inside me as I realized that Callie wasn’t lying, as I really
couldn’t walk due to my weight.
“Why would you ask that all of a sudden?” my mom asked curiously.
“Just asking. Meanwhile, I shot my dad a look as I wondered if I should tell him what happened earlier.
In the meantime, Mrs. Fant left the kitchen. “Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, shall I serve dinner now?”
“Of course, it’s getting late anyway,” my dad replied.
Dinnertime wasn’t the best time to mention the incident between Eric and me, so I figured I’d wait until
we were out for a walk to mention it to them. However, they didn’t go for an after-dinner stroll, choosing
instead to hide out in the office. I tried to get them to leave by serving them tea, but my mother only
opened the door a crack before closing it again when she took the tray from me.
After that, I went upstairs despondently accepting that this was not the time to tell them about the
incident with Eric. My phone rang while I was on the stairs with an unexpected call from Eric, but I hung
up without hesitation after glancing at him.
I assumed he would stop calling me, but my phone rang once more with a call from him, so I hung up
again. Then a text came after a few seconds. “Get out right now! I’m in front of his house!
His command tone pissed me off, so I decided to ignore it, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything
about it. However, I was curious about his situation despite my decision, so I went into my room to have
a look under the curtains, only to see Eric’s car. He was sitting in his car with his sunglasses on, and I
didn’t know if I was thinking too much, but he seemed to be looking at my window, which made me
flinch as the sight of him startled me.
Fuck, he’s really here! Will it be an invasion if I continue to ignore it? What should I do
if he enters

While feeling anxious, I received a call from Carson. “Dear. Eliza had a miscarriage.”
“A miscarriage? How did this happen? I thought she was fine.” I asked deliberately.
