After getting off work, Charlotte went straight to the kindergarten to pick up Sheryl.
Sheryl raised her little head and looked around. After a few seconds, she pouted and asked, "Mommy, why didn't Daddy come pick me up with you?"
Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "Daddy has gone on a business trip. When Daddy comes back, he'll come pick you up, okay?"
In the blink of an eye, her little face turned sunny and she laughed. "Okay! Mommy, today we..."
She kept talking non-stop.
As for Charlotte, she watched as the sky gradually darkened. She thought that Shane should have arrived at W Country by now.
She took out her cell phone from her bag, pulled open the contact list, and scrolled to that familiar number.
There seemed to be no reason to call him.
Beside her, Sheryl noticed that her mother was staring at the phone and said loudly, "Mommy, are you listening to me or not?" Shocked, Charlotte's hand slipped and dialed the number on the phone.
