Chapter 96 The Unhappy
South Silas frowned unhappily. “Don’t follow me around. I have business to tend to.” Then, he told Landon, “You coming or not, Landon?” “Of course I am,” Landon replied. He told Old Man Nolan that he would come another time and left the house behind them. Silence was their companion in the car until Camila whispered to her son, who appeared to be unhappy, “What happened to you?” Silas listened intently. If he was right, South didn’t talk to him that much earlier. South was playing with his phone. “Nothing,” he said. “Are you upset?” Camila was curious. “No.” South took a deep breath.
Then, Silas interjected in an attempt to make conversation, “What’s the story you told Great-grandpa today, South?” “Nothing,” South answered indifferently. Now even Landon could see he was upset. What happened? He’s fine in the afternoon, well, aside from him getting quiet after Zoe came. Camila tried to cheer him up. “We moved to a new place. It’s just a hop, skip, and jump away from Landon’s house. Do you like it?” That grabbed his attention, since he was a kid after all. “Why are we moving?” Camila replied calmly, “So you can play the latest games Landon develops.” “Right. It’s just because you want him to take care of me at all times.” He pouted. “Shh. Keep this between us. We don’t want him to hear that.” Landon looked annoyed. “At least whisper when you talk about secrets. Everyone and their mother could hear you.” South raised his chin. “Watch your tongue.” “I’m just telling the truth,” Landon retorted. “Mommy, Landon took me along and played until three in the morning. I kept telling him I want to sleep, but he kept saying ‘last game’ every time.” South even looked at Landon provocatively. “Landon!” Camila was going to hit him. “Can you be more responsible? I thought I told you no all-nighters!” “No, we didn’t!” Landon dodged her hit and pointed at South. “Hey, we promised to keep this a secret.”
South grinned at him. “I’m just telling the truth.”
