On the way back home, Sylvia sat in the car, her heart thumping hard.
In the end, she did not ask Kendrix to send her back. Kendrix had insisted at first, but he respected her choice.
She was almost home. Before she left, she asked Kendrix to go and check on Claudia, thinking that perhaps Claudia would feel comfortable with telling Kendrix what she could not tell her.
Sylvia felt that sometimes it was better to say the things in one's heart. By doing so, one would at least be able to vent one's emotions. It was not good to keep too much to oneself.
Soon, the car arrived at the Jones' house. When she walked in, Grace was sitting in the living room. Grace shot Sylvia a meaningful glance.
"Mom," Sylvia greeted with a bright smile, but her voice sounded a little weak.
If Grace was still sitting in the living room at such an hour, it had to mean that she was waiting for Sylvia to return, right? Sylvia thought to herself.
"Sorry about coming back late."
