Faux Vows, True Desires

Ethan's phone rang.

He instantly felt like he had found someone to vent to.

He pulled out his phone and saw it was a call from the person he sent to find his sister. His anger died down in an instant. He didn't answer the call right away but declined it instead. "Mom, do you want to go for a walk?"

Whenever Ethan got calls like these, he'd answer them out on the lawn. It's spacious there, and there were trees all around, nobody could overhear him if he stood in the middle of the field. He felt it was safer than his dad's study.

Janice seemed to ignore his words, still cradling her doll.

Ethan bent down, attempting to help her up.

Janice didn't refuse.

So Ethan helped her up and gently said, "Mom, let's go for a walk in the field."

His mother burst into tears. His grandmother and Kayla Blue and Ashley Blue must have heard the news too. They would come over to give his mother a hard time while he was not home. Even though Shirley was there, she was only a maid and couldn't handle three high-class ladies.

His grandmother was also a strong-willed old lady.

"Come on, let's go for a walk and soak up some sun."

While comforting her doll, Janice followed Ethan's steps.

They left the room.

Shirley came up to them.

"Where are you taking Janice?"

Shirley saw Janice's red eyes, and her heart ached.
