Chapter 516:

Mabel finally stepped out of her loneliness and imprisonment after a long time. She opened the door, took a few steps away from her room, and entered the living room. Sincerely, she wasn’t used to that kind of space.

That wasn’t the case in the previous house. She had to walk down a corridor and a flight of stairs to get to the living room from her room. This apartment that was thought to be spacious was unbearably small.

On getting to the living room, she looked around, yet there was no sign of Glenda. That was when she turned to Lanny, who recently seemed downcast as though something was eating him up.

She walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, and casually asked, “Dad, where did Mom go? When is she coming back?”

Lanny opened his eyes, glanced at her, and closed them back. “She’ll come back when she wants to.”

His words got Mabel confused. “What do you mean by that? Where did she go to? Did she travel to a far place?”

Lanny didn’t explain further.

Mabel thought something was off about him, but she couldn’t place her finger on what it was. She threw another question at him, “When will the rebuilding of our villa be completed? I don’t want to live here anymore.”

She quickly shut her mouth and nervously looked at Lanny to see his reaction when she realized that her words were inappropriate.
