Chapter 33

When they got to the room, Alex went into the bathroom to wash up while Sarah made his bed.

Just then, Alex’s phone screen lit up, and a melodious ringtone filled the room.

Sarah glanced at it and noticed the caller ID: *Aunt Linda.*

Alex rushed out of the bathroom, his face still lathered with soap, and grabbed the phone. He looked at Sarah nervously and warily, as though afraid she might hang up the call.

It had been months since Alex had shown any desire to connect with her, yet he spent long stretches talking to Linda every day.

Sarah lowered her gaze, masking the heartbreak that flickered in her eyes.

She had finished tidying the room and was ready to leave. Before stepping out, she instructed gently, “Don’t look at your phone for too long. It’s bad for your eyes. Go to bed early, okay?”

“I know.”

Alex’s tone was impatient as he pushed her toward the door and muttered under his breath, “Stop being so naggy. Aunt Linda never nags like this.”

Knowing that his mom was free tomorrow, he needed to explain to Aunt Linda that they wouldn’t be able to meet. The thought of Linda being disappointed made Alex feel even more annoyed with Sarah.

In his mind, it was all *her* fault.

If only she weren’t around, he’d be able to go out with Aunt Linda tomorrow!

As soon as Sarah left the room, Alex locked the door.

From behind the locked door, his excited voice carried faintly into the hallway: “Aunt Linda, sorry I took so long to call you

back. My mom was nagging again…”

Sarah didn’t linger to listen to Alex bad–mouth her to Linda.
