Hazel returned to the city after sending Aiden and Arthur to kindergarten. She had yet to arrive home when her phone rang..
Hazel took out her phone and saw that it was Chris calling.
Hazel hesitated. She didn't want to answer his call.
Since she had beaten Amara up yesterday, her father must be calling to reprimand her.
But the phone would keep ringing if she did not pick up the call.
Hazel picked up the call reluctantly, "Hello, Dad."
Chris's dull voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "Hazel."
"What's the matter, Dad?"
Chris paused briefly before directly asking. "Well, I heard you and Amara had an unhappy incident yesterday?"
After Amara returned home yesterday, she threw a tantrum at Chris and pushed him to sever his father–daughter relationship with Hazel.
Chris was stuck in a dilemma.
Frowning slightly, Hazel answered with a not–very–polite tone. "Why? Are you calling to reprimand me?"
