He did tell her he would be on a business trip for two days, so she should know that he was returning today. But will she really come to welcome me? Ethan took out his phone and found her number.

Before he could make the call, Alice took her phone out, obviously trying to call someone. Ethan stopped. If she’s here for me, she’ll be calling me. A hint of anticipation flared in Ethan’s heart. He saw her making the call, but his phone didn’t ring. Obviously, she wasn’t calling him. She wasn’t here for him.

Alice was calling Apollo, but the boy didn’t pick up. The airport was big, so it was hard to find someone. Panicked, Alice looked around, but she didn’t see the boy. She started turning around, wanting to see if the boy was outside.

Ethan noticed what she was going to do and his eyes flickered, but he didn’t move away. If she turned around now, she could see him. He wanted to see her reaction when she saw him, but then someone called her as she was turning. It was from Apollo.

“Mommy? Why did you call me? What happened?” Apollo asked nicely.

“What happened? I’m at the airport. Where are you? I’ll be there right away,” Alice snapped, but she heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he’s fine.

Oh no. She’s here? Then she knows. Alright, time to apologize. “Sorry, Mommy. I shouldn’t have run around without telling you.”

“Yeah, you’re sorry, all right.” Alice knew her son was smarter and more grown-up than most kids, but he was still a child, so she was worried about him.

I promise I won’t do it again. I’ll tell you when I have to go somewhere now. I won’t hide it from you anymore, so please forgive me,” the boy apologized. “Don’t be mad. You’ll get old and ugly. I want you to be young and pretty forever,” he said. He was starting to act

at the boy. She was mad at herself for neglecting him. Just hearing him trying to cheer her up melted her heart, and a
