Chapter 48

CHARLES'S POV

I opened the door and just then Mary peeked from the kitchen to look at me then she walked back but as soon as she realized who she saw she immediately walked out of the kitchen and towards me.

"Oh my goodness! I didn't even realize it was you." She gave me a hug which made me laugh.

"I think I figured that out, where's mum?"

"Upstairs in your room." 

"I'll be back. " I walked upstairs feeling happy to finally get to see her again but as I walked closer I heard her sniffing which made me confused but then I heard it again and again.

She was crying without a doubt but why was she crying? I knew mum was emotional and would probably be thinking about us perhaps that's why she was crying and the house was really empty.

I peeked to see her looking at the picture frame of myself and Belle which made me let out a small smile and I blinked away the tears that tried to fall.

"Why are you crying?"
