Chapter 47 - Distant Returns

Cullen managed several business ventures across the city, which kept his schedule packed with meetings and travel.

When business obligations pulled him away for the next two days, Sabrina found herself alone in the sprawling house with only the staff for company. The silence grew unbearable, prompting her to reach out to Veronica once again.

After keeping herself busy for forty-eight hours, Veronica had managed to push aside the uncomfortable memories from their last encounter. When her phone buzzed with Sabrina's incoming call, she didn't hesitate to pick up.

"Mom, I miss you so much. When will you come back home?"

The moment Veronica learned Cullen was still traveling, she made her decision. She drove back to the house immediately after finishing her work that evening.
