"How come you're back so soon?" Sophie Ortiz asked when she saw William Lane.
"I came back right after work." William Lane brought some fruit to Amelia Smith, then turned to Sophie Ortiz and said, "You wish I'd come home to find no one around?"
Sophie Ortiz narrowed her eyes as her maternal patience was wearing thin.
William Lane quickly changed his tone, "It was James who told me. But... he only told me after I got off work. So, you all ganged up to trick me. And you too."
William Lane looked at Amelia Smith.
Sophie Ortiz unceremoniously smacked William Lane on the head, "What's the matter? Picking on people? How did we trick you? Say it if you dare."
"Mom," William Lane looked at Sophie Ortiz, "I'm all grown up now, and you still hit me on the head."
"How old are you? You are over thirty." Sophie Ortiz said, "I have to remind you of this."
William Lane: "......"
Amelia Smith was holding her laughter on the side.
