Chapter 27: Investigation [2]

She was about to shoo him away when she took a closer look, as the rain seemed to lessen momentarily. His glowing white skin, combined with the branded shirt that he wore, led her to a conclusion: 'He must be some rich person's son!'
Her mind and heart raced together, trying to outmatch each other at the moment. "Ah, come in, come in. It's raining!" She waved her left hand, motioning him to come inside the house.
Delta remained confused as she had never seen her mom be that kind and helpful. She merely stared at her mother enter the house, the rain starting to get heavy again.
Staring back at Vaughn, she said with a gentle voice, "Please come in."
She extended her right hand, wanting to help Vaughn stand up.
Vaughn didn't hesitate to take the help, extending his hand.
