"Mom! You know that it is not the weekend and I have just left. Why have you called me so urgently?" Alex looked around with a sense of urgency. But when he confirmed that they were alone in the house, he slowly relaxed and complained to her mother while wrapping his arms around her neck. He had been too cold to her when he had visited last time, now that she looked exhausted, he felt guilty about it.
Amelia stiffened when her son softened because she knew the reason. Alas! That was not the case.
"Alric asked me to invite you." as expected, Alex flinched and let her go at once. His eyes filled with disbelief which was soon replaced by raw anger.
