Chapter 28

The door bell rang.

Reece who was lounging on the sofa in the sitting room, shot up and went to answer the door.

As he opened it, he saw Vanessa at the other end. She was wearing a spaghetti strap dress and had on a fur coat and a designer hat and held a clutch.

Her lips curved downwards in disgust when she saw it was him.

Reece pursed his lips but decided to be respectful.

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

Vanessa rolled her eyes at him and walked past him into the house. Even though Adam had explained his whole plan to her she still didn't like the fact that mere street kids were living with him.

"Where's Adam?" She asked sharply.

"Around; upstairs, wherever, I'm not sure." Reece shrugged and went back to the sofa he was earlier seated on.

Vanessa was pissed at the way he was comfortably seated.

"Aren't you supposed to be cleaning everywhere up?" She snapped at him and he looked up from his phone.

"I've done my chores." He lowered his head again.
