It was past midnight when Kevin finally reached home. To his surprise, he found the front door open and Maria sitting on a chair, doing something on her watch, seemingly waiting for him.
As soon as she saw his car park in front of the house, she came out, looking angry. Kevin had just taken one step out of the car when Maria demanded in a stern, slightly angry tone, "Where were you? I was calling you. Why didn't you pick up?"
Kevin glanced at his watch, surprised. "I was busy. I didn't notice them," he replied. Initially, he had ignored her calls while he was having sex, but now he felt bad seeing her so worried.
"What busy? I know you were probably with one of your other women," Maria said, pulling his ear.
"Ouch... mom, don't! I swear I was busy with the store," Kevin lied. He knew that admitting the truth would only make her jealous and lead to another period of her not speaking to him.
