"Hello, Auntie. I'm Joey."
Hearing his voice, Sally's mother's heart was lit up. She said excitedly.
"Oh, it's Joey. What's up? Why are you calling me today?"
"I called Sally just now, but no one answered. I just want to ask if she is at home now."
"Well, Sally is not at home now. Maybe she forgot to bring her cell phone." Sally's mother answered, pretending not to know anything.
"Where did she go?" Joey continued to ask.
But Sally's mother really didn't know where Sally had gone, and she couldn't tell Joey that Sally had run out alone. She knew that family scandal couldn't be publicized. Moreover, she knew Sally's personality very well. Sally would come back naturally if she had stayed enough outside. There was no need to make a fuss.
So Sally's mother said vaguely
"I don't know. She went out without saying anything just now and hasn't come back yet."
"Has she been out for a long time?"
"It's been a while. Don't worry. She'll be back soon. I will ask her to call you back."
I will do what I said."
He said it word by word patiently for fear that she would feel sad.
And when she heard the news, she was naturally very happy. After waiting for so long, she could finally let Joey take her home. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but she still couldn't believe it and asked.
"Really? Did your father really agree? Are you comforting me by saying that on purpose? "
Joey reached out his hand to touch Sally's head and said, "Of course it's true. I wouldn't lie to you about this. Don't worry. I said I would give you an explanation and I will definitely do it. At that time, your parents won't be worried anymore."
After Sally was convinced of his words, she smiled with relief and said, "Joey, thank you for being so good to me."
"Who else can I be good to if I don't treat you well?"
Then Joey seemed to remember something. He paused for a while and continued, "I'll take you to my home tomorrow. Get ready and I'll pick you up tomorrow, Okay?"
