Chapter 12

When the family was having dinner, Adrian’s phone rang. It was Daniel on the line.

“I need to take this.” Adrian got up and went to the garden.

“I don’t have time for that. Reject the invite.” Adrian hung up and went back inside.

Samantha said to Adrian, “Go to my family home and meet my grandmother tomorrow. She’s my family.”

“All right.” He nodded.

Adaline looked up and started paying attention.
