âEr, this place is so boring, honey.
There are no toys or snacks here.
You wouldnât like it here.
Thatâs why I didnât bring you with me.
â
Elena pursed her lips and finally compromised.
âWell, that does sound really boring.
â
I breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a little while, I was about to say goodbye when Elena asked mysteriously, âMommy, is it because youâre on a date with Daddy? Is that why you didnât bring me?â
I was speechless.
What on earth made her think that? But she wasnât wrong, to a certain extent.
I was wracking my brains trying to think about how to answer her when there was a sudden knock on the door.
âDebra, youâve been in there for a long time.
Are you okay?â
It was Caleb.
I didnât know how to respond.
Then, the knocking became more intense and urgent.
Lost for words, I immediately held my breath, wondering how to muddle through.
âWhy wonât you answer me? Whatâre you doing in there?â Caleb asked worriedly.
My eyes darted around the bathroom desperately.
Suddenly, my eyes Lit up and I quickly ran to turn on the shower.

âIâm taking a shower.
Why?â I lied through my teeth, trying to sound indignant.
Unexpectedly, the door was kicked open as soon as I finished speaking.
How dare he break in?
Damn it!
I scrambled to hang up the phone in a hurry.
But right before I hung up, Elenaâs voice sounded.
âMommy!
Debraâs POV:
Upon hearing the childish voice, Caleb immediately fixed his eyes on the phone in my hand.
I was so startled by his sudden barging in that I couldnât help but curse.
âBastard! I told you I was taking a shower!â
He had kicked the door so hard that the door to the bathroom was still shaking.
