What is that foolish boy thinking?
“Keith, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?” Caiden's mom came downstairs and asked Keith with concern.
“It's nothing,” he replied.
Did Caiden do something to get on his nerves again? She returned to her room and made a call at once.
“Hello, Caiden is driving so he can't speak at the moment.”
A child's voice was heard over the line.
Who is this? Mrs. Owens' suspicions were aroused. “Who are you?” she asked softly.
“I'm Lucius!”
“Lucius, don't touch Caiden's phone!” A female voice was heard in the background.
Mrs. Owens felt that the voice sounded familiar. After racking her brains, she finally recalled where she heard it before.
Its JoanlWhy is Caiden involved with her again? Clenching her fists, she grew concerned.
No wonder Keith is furious, he must have known about this.
“Your mom called just now,” Joan informed.
“I know,” Caiden plainly replied.
He knew that he was going to face another barrage of questions later.
“Thank you, Caiden!” At the door, Lucius cried out as he bowed in Caiden's direction.
“Alright, go on in now. Call me if there's anything.” Caiden waved at Lucius with a smile.
It's unlikely for a kid like him to get into much trouble. Even if he did, it would be unreasonable to call me for help.
“Lucius, you're home!” Delilah greeted him with a delightful grin.
“Grandma, Caiden gave Mom and I a ride home,” Lucius exclaimed as he threw himself into Delilah's arms.
“Hello,” Delilah greeted when she saw Caiden at the door.
She didn't invite him in as she was reluctant to have anything to do with him anymore.
