Looking at the time, it was already half- past five. "What's wrong with her? Haven't I already explained it to her? Why are we visiting Grandma? Why did she choose this time to visit her?" Frederick thought. While packing things, Frederick tried to call Danica again. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

After making two calls in a row, no one answered. Frederick looked back at Danica's message and found out that it was sent an hour ago.

Could it be that she was already on her way?

Suddenly, Frederick started to feel anxious, his brows snapping together. "What is she thinking? Grandma will only get pissed when she sees her!" Frederick thought.

Just before he was about to head out, the landline on the table rang again. He had no choice but to take care of the incoming job.

After the slight delay, it was already twenty minutes later when he ended the call.

Just when Frederick was about to make another call to Danica, she called him first. He immediately answered her call.

"Don't you dare go!" Frederick said in an anxious tone.

"You tried calling me just to inform me this?"

Frederick could feel her pain from her soft voice. At first, he was shocked but moments later, he softened his voice. "Danica, it's getting late now. I thought I have made it clear with you." Apparently, Frederick was implying to Danica not to visit Mrs. Clements!

After all, it was his grandma that Danica was seeing. Danica's current identity would cause awkwardness for sure. Plus, Frederick was afraid that his words would be too hurtful. "Why are you doing this to me, Frederick? You promised me to visit Grandma together."

From Danica's voice, he could hear that she was about to cry.
