The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1321:

“Mom, why are you calling me?” Ethan asked as soon as he picked up the call, his tone casual.

Elsa was clearly upset at his question. “Oh, so now I need a reason just to call my own son? Do you hear yourself?”

Ethan’s frown grew deeper. “How have you been? I’ve been swamped with work lately; that’s why I haven’t come by.”

Elsa said with a huff, “I need you to get in touch with your brother. He ignores me whenever I call. He’s still holding a grudge against me, even though I’m not interfering in whatever’s going on with his wife. All I want is a chance to see him and my grandson. That’s hardly unreasonable, don’t you think?”

Elsa’s sudden display of softness took Ethan aback. In all the years he’d known her, he couldn’t recall her ever backing down like this.
