Chapter 163

**On the Day of the Festival**

Mila was surprised to receive another call from Adrian. Lately, the frequency of his calls had been unusually high.

She had thought that after their last argument, Adrian wouldn't speak to her for months.

Quite unexpected indeed.

Adrian's voice on the line was a bit subdued, "Mom, school starts tomorrow. Can you take me?"

Mila was taken aback, "Are you sick? You sound so down."

There was a moment of hesitation before Adrian replied, "Yeah, I'm not feeling well. I really miss you, Mom."

Mila paused for a moment, then asked, "How did you get sick? Hasn't your dad been taking care of you? Hand the phone to him, let me speak with him."

Adrian instinctively glanced at the man sitting across from him, sprawled out confidently on the couch. Without thinking, he called out, "Dad, Mom wants to talk to you."
