"Mom, let me do it." Axel didn't want to let go of Bryan Hawkins' hand, so he stood up and spoke to Emily Hill.
"Is this...is this... a reconciliation?" Emily Hill never expected such a series of surprises. She looked at Carolline Ruiz who was blushing and staring at Bryan Hawkins.
How could he be like this, had she agreed to anything? Yet he just arbitrarily started calling her mom.
When Carolline Ruiz didn't say a word, Bryan Hawkins suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Had he misinterpreted the situation again? He thought that Carolline Ruiz had accepted his hug just now, which meant she had accepted something more. Or had nothing actually changed?
"Alright, isn't this obvious? You all should go to bed early, your mom and I are going to bed first." Instead, it was Henry Ruiz who stood up and dispelled the awkwardness.
Emily Hill joyfully followed Henry Ruiz back to their room. Only then did the heavy stone in her heart finally land.
