"Jaime." She called instinctively. When he stopped, it was too late for regrets. "I... I'll come with you."Moments later, they rushed out of the building together, and she followed him to the parking lot. Sitting in the car, Vivian twisted her hands together nervously. Juke, poor nephew. Where did he go? Is he running away?Jaime stopped the car in front of Juke's elementary school and hurried inside to meet Juke's teacher, a middle-aged woman with thick, round glasses."Juke's uncle." The teacher greeted."Are there any strangers around?" Jaime began his interrogation immediately. "Around the school, are there any suspicious people?""Do not have."Jaime took a deep breath, trying to maintain his patience. "Did Juke talk about any place he wanted to go?""No, he didn't say anything." The teacher shook her head. "When the children gathered this morning, one of them noticed that Juke was gone.""What do you mean?" Vivian interrupted. "Shouldn't teachers be around students?""I... I me

“Are you crazy?” Clinton shouted over the phone. “What do you want my wife to do?”Jaime sighed into the phone as he paced back and forth in his bedroom. "Please. I have no other choice.""You could get in big trouble for this." The friend scolded. "You said besides her there is also a lawyer.""I'm willing to accept." Jaime declared determinedly. "I believe everything worked out.""How can you be so sure?" Clinton was skeptical. "I thought you said Vivian didn't want to return because you two couldn't get along.""I need to try," Jaime said. "So what's your answer? Will you help me?""What do I get out of this?" Clinton asked."Whatever you need later, I will help."~~~~~Jaime was not at work the next morning as Vivian expected. Not minding his presence too much, she sat down at her desk, wondering when he would arrive. She wants to know if Juke is okay and plans to tell him that she wants to take Juke to the movies to cheer him up. The whole afternoon passed, and she still didn't s

They both turned when they saw Juke move, Vivian moving her body forward. "Juke?"Juke was a pretty good actor, Jaime found that his eyes tiredly opened with much effort. The first thing his eyes looked at was Vivian."Aunt?" He spoke weakly. Jaime couldn't be sure if he was acting according to his plan or if it was his voice after suddenly waking up. "Aunt Vivian."Vivian quickly stopped him as he tried to sit up. "Don't sit up. Just lie down and rest.""Auntie's home. You're finally home." Juke exclaimed happily.Jaime wants to say that Vivian is finally home.Vivian smiled, Jaime was confident that she dared not be able to say no. Juke held her hand tightly, smiling cutely as usual. "Auntie, stay with me tonight. I want to watch movies with my friends, eat and play with my friends. I have many nice toys.""You're full of energy," Vivian commented sweetly. "I'll do anything to get you better.""But auntie, I bet..."As if on cue, Ciara quickly walked in, and Jaime stood up from the

She was going crazy. Not only did Jaime do this to her on purpose, but she could sense that he enjoyed torturing her. Now she realized that she was crazy so she came back for Juke. Once again, she contemplates why she let Jaime persuade her so easily.The next ten minutes were spent slowly swallowing the food she assumed her mother had prepared earlier. That woman knew she was back, but why didn't she show her face to make Vivian feel bitter? Thinking of this, Vivian glanced around the quiet dining room. That woman was nowhere to be seen. Where exactly was she hiding?Finally, after eating, she cleared the table and put the dirty dishes in the sink, she stood looking at the dishes for a few minutes then turned on the faucet and grabbed the sponge.After the dishes were cleaned and put away, she realized Jaime hadn't come back to check if she had finished her food. What is he doing?Narrowing her eyes, she walked around. It was as if time had never passed in this house like everything

Jaime also quickly walked to the front door as soon as she entered. Like before, he didn't say anything to her but just looked at her as if he were her master and she was the maid following him."Are you two back?" A voice greeted her as she walked through the door, taking off her shoes and putting them on the shelf. Vivian felt everything around her freeze as she saw her mother - Jaime's mother - standing before her. Sunken face, big round eyes smiling as if the sun never sets.Vivian finally looked at her with a blank mind, all kinds of emotions racing through her at the speed of a roller coaster. From abandonment to seeing her again as Jaime's mother. All the anger and despair that had followed her like a shadow over the years remained unforgotten.Vivian looked at her both angrily and wondering if the woman, like Jaime, mourned her death. However, Vivian had no reason for her mother to apologize because her mother believed it was not her fault that she died.She had nothing to apo
