As he answered the call, his voice was soft, asking, "Are you done with work?"
"Yup, you can come pick me up now!" Kelsey's voice was sweet.
However, it still couldn't compare to Paige's voice.
"Sorry, I just settled the stuff with grandma and got caught up with some work. I won't be able to pick you up today," Logan said apologetically.
"Oh, well..." Kelsey was clearly displeased. "You go ahead and take care of your thing then."
"I'll take you on vacation when I get some time in a few days." Logan continued.
"Great, you're the best, Logan!"
After hanging up the phone, Logan was silent for a moment before suddenly hurling his cell phone at the car window. Immediately, the window shattered and glass fragments scattered.
At that moment, Paige and Rosalynn had already settled Granny Owens.
"We should have come earlier. Look at the rooms here, and then think about the rooms before! Not only shabby but there are even crazy people!” Paige said angrily.
Granny Owens managed a weak smile, and held Paige's hand: "My sweet child, it's no big deal. The old woman didn't mean it, getting ill is just part of life. Let bygones be bygones."
Paige’s face instantly clouded over.
"My dear, although your mom lost contact with me after she remarried, she used to be good to me. I hope she can be happy in this marriage. If I cause any further trouble, I..."
"So, for the happiness of other people, should my grandma be sacrificed?" Paige retorted. "You say she's good to you, but haven't you been good to her too?"
When her mom got remarried, Granny gave all the family property her dad had left them to her mom.
She said she had a pension and could still teach at school... she wouldn't starve.
She said that remarriage wasn’t easy, so her mom needed more dowry to feel secure.
"Listen to your grandma!" Granny Owens said anxiously, her eyes turning teary.
