Chapter 27 Mom's Taste is Questionable


"Mom, are you saying you won't be coming home tonight?" Elisa's voice tinged with a surprising hint of excitement as mischief sparked in her eyes.

"Yes, I have some errands to run and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. Harry, no more running off on your own, and make sure to look after your sister," Galatea reminded firmly.

She had already discovered the hospital where Aminta was currently working at. It was the perfect timing. Aminta would be off work the next day, and Galatea planned to spend the night nearby to visit the doctor first thing in the morning. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of everything," Caspian hastily assured her over the phone.

After the call, Elisa eagerly turned to Caspian, "Harry, let's go meet our future dad, shall we?"

"What?" Caspian was shocked.

"We're going to find Alaric!" Elisa exclaimed. "Mom's already with him. They might even get married soon. How could we not meet him?"

"I'm not going. Did you not hear Mom? She said no wandering off," he tried to dissuade her from going.

"Since when did you become such a good listener, Harry? Is this even like you?" Elisa eyed him with severe skepticism. "You've been acting so strange lately, almost like a different person. The old you would've been the first to suggest meeting him."

'Really?' But he was, after all, very different from the true Harry in disposition.

"Come on, Harry, please go with me," she pleaded.

Caspian found himself helpless against Elisa's charm and relented, "Alright, but I won't go inside. You're a girl. You'll have an easier time. Scope it out first." "Fine," she contended.
