Chapter 1612

Home of Smith.

It was rare for his younger sister to be back, so Hobart decided to rest at home during this period of time. He wanted to spend more time with her and observe her hands.

But Maryanne had left with her boyfriend early this morning. And it was already noon, but she had yet to return.

In this regard, Hobart could do nothing else other than murmur to himself.

In a twinkling, the doorbell sounded from the door. Hobart's face lit up with joy, and he motioned the maid to open the door.

"Mr. Hobart, Miss Maryanne Smith is back." When the servant appeared with Maryanne, the kind smile on Hobart's face evaporated in an instant.

He jumped up from the sofa immediately. With one hand around Maryanne's shoulder and the other on her chin, Hobart asked after he confirmed that her eyes were red and swollen, "Maryanne, why did you cry?"

Maryanne merely shook her head and replied in a hoarse voice, "Don't ask, Hobart."

Hobart seemed to remember something as he looked back at Maryanne. "Maryanne, why did you come back alone? Where's Milton?"

Maryanne let out an involuntary gasp when she heard Milton's name, and she barely managed to stop her tears from bursting when she entered the house. Hobart was in great shock at this sight.

"Maryanne, what did he do to you? Tell me, I'll avenge you!"

Maryanne sobbed and muttered, "Hobart, can you stop asking?"

"Tell me what's going on!" Hobart said in a low voice.

Maryanne sniffed and replied in a coarse voice, "Hobart... I want to go back to my room and rest..."

Hobart stared at her for a moment longer, and thought since when did Maryanne keep secrets from him?

He stroked Maryanne's haggard face and forced a smile. "Okay. I'll take you to your room, then you can rest."

"Hmm." Maryanne wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and under Hobart's hurt gaze, she walked towards her room.

As soon as Maryanne made her way, Hobart followed behind her. Before Maryanne could turn around and closed the door, Hobart stopped her timely. He glanced at her with apprehension and asked, "Um, Maryanne, have you eaten yet?"

Maryanne shook her head despondently. She then pulled Hobart's hand away from the door and gently shut it.

Hobart, who was left outside her room, cursed in a low voice, "D*mn it! How did Milton take care of Maryanne? What time is it now? How can she come back on an empty stomach and her eyes so puffy?"

In the next second, he heard Maryanne locking the door. Hobart immediately banged on the door and yelled, "Maryanne! Don't lock the door! I promise I won't disturb you!"

Maryanne's action of locking the door horrified Hobart. What if something happened to her when she was alone in the room?

Just as Hobart's hands were about to swell from pounding the door, a faint sob came from inside the room. "Hobart... Just leave me alone for a while..."

Hobart was worried sick and anxious when he heard Maryanne. He said with concern, "Maryanne, no matter what happens, you have us! You have Dad, Mom, and me! Don't take things too hard, okay? I... I'll wait for you to eat with me."
