Chapter 190

Calls wasted no time on his way home. As soon as he finished his tasks, he hurried back. The house was unusually quiet, and the familiar figure he expected on the couch was nowhere to be seen With furrowed brows, Caleb asked. "Where's Maddie, Mrs. Ziegler?"

"Ms. Larson is resting upstairs." Sarah replied.

But it's easier to just say 'wife, isn't i

On their way, Eugene talked endlessly, always saying things that could rile Caleb up. When they arrived at the mall, Eugene headed straight to the jewelry section. Caleb's patience was hanging by a thread.
