Hazel came home after her uncle had gone out to the office.
The moment she saw her Auntie Edith at the corner with a book in her hand, Hazel felt a little guilty about sneaking out and not telling them anything. Suddenly, Hazel had lost her courage to speak.
"You're back," Edith was the first to speak.
"Hmm…"
"Have you had your breakfast?"
Hazel was a little stunned at the question. She was expecting to get scolded, but her auntie only asked whether she had eaten with her usual warm voice. Facing this situation, Hazel felt the guilt intensify.
"I ate a little before coming back," Hazel said. She hesitated and asked, "Auntie Edith, are you not going to ask me where I go?"
"Didn't you left a note in your room?" Edith smiled. She saw the look on Hazel's face and tried her best not to laugh.
Hazel lowered her head. "Then… Is my uncle angry when he found that I had suddenly gone missing?"
