This time it was a big mess. I couldn't even imagine Alpha thinking of me as some kind of promiscuous, crazy woman with nothing better to do.
Looking at the closed door of Alpha's house again, I carried my baby Nicole home with mixed feelings.
As soon as we got home, Winnie exclaimed, "Nicole? Why did you change your clothes?"
Glancing at me again, Winnie managed another smile. "Uh, it's okay… I didn't say anything."
Noelle was carried home by his mommy. He was worried that he would be exposed, but when he saw that Nicole was not home, he heaved a sigh of relief.
I didn't notice that Nicole, who was in my arms, had become much calmer and quieter. After learning that Nicole was safe, I placed her on the sofa and looked at her seriously. "Nicole, are you thinking of sneaking out to play again today?"
Noelle was confused. He opened his mouth but still obediently followed his mother's words and answered, "Yes…"
