Cory didn't let Calvin and the others tell Rosalynn that Ivy ran away from home.
When they got home, Ivy apologized to Calvin with her head down, then went to her painting room, locked the door, and shut herself in without saying a word to Cory the entire time.
She didn't eat dinner either. She went to take a shower when she was tired of painting and then crawled back into bed and went to sleep without even asking for a bedtime story.
Laura had never seen Ivy so upset before. She sat on the carpet by the little bed, looking worried.
"Cory, who on earth did Ivy go to see?" Calvin downstairs asked in confusion. He was supposed to go with Cory to pick up someone, but Cory refused. Calvin thought about it all afternoon, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Ivy ran away from home, and after Cory analyzed it, he actually found out where she had gone!
"She went to see someone she knows," Cory replied coldly. "Calvin, you'd better not think about it, or you might accidentally say something in front of Granny Hilaria and my mom."
Calvin was speechless.
He wanted to ask if it was really okay to hide it from the adults.
Cory seemed to see through his thoughts: "We're keeping them in the dark so they don't get upset. Calvin, Granny Hilaria's health isn't as good as it used to be."
Cory caught every one of Calvin's weaknesses.
He immediately sat upright: "I know, I won't say anything!"
Cory wasn't worried about Laura. He knew she valued her job and wouldn't talk about today's events.
Ten o’clock.
Rosalynn's car drove into the garage.
Moments later, she walked out of the elevator, looking exhausted.
Seeing Cory, she was stunned: "honey, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"I ate too much tonight," Cory answered calmly. "Mom, you look really tired."
"Just a few more days, and I'll be on vacation after I finish this project!" Rosalynn walked over and hugged Cory, rubbing her cheek against him. "Is your sister asleep?"
"Mhm." Cory paused for a moment, "Mom, I want to take Ivy back to Jaime Jules' place."
