Fearing that Jack would figure out, Celine calmed herself down. "How did you get there? I'm currently in my parents' house."
Disappointment flashed in his eyes. "Why did you leave in such a hurry?"
Celine opened her mouth, shocked and nervous. "My mother called me, she wanted me to come home."
She just got out of bed, and her brain wasn't working.
In all honesty, she didn't really know what she was saying. "Well, you know, I haven't gone home in such a long time. I do miss them a lot."
Jack remained silent for a long time.
Celine made her way to the bathroom, her sweaty hand gripping the phone. When she entered, she stared at the pale woman in the mirror.
She had been drinking with them until midnight. She smelled her breath, it stank from the alcohol. Her hair was in a messy bun and her face was swollen.
Celine sighed and closed the bathroom door.
She felt her heart clench in guilt because she was afraid that Jack would find out.
Celine swallowed nervously and asked, "Do you want me to go back now?"
"No, you have fun." He hung up the phone without another word.
His reaction knocked her back to reality. All of a sudden, she wanted to explain everything that had happened. Flustered, she dialed again, but he didn't pick up.

"Okay, thanks!" Mendes smiled, really happy that she was here. Squinting at him with a smile, Lea lowered his head, kissed him on the cheek. She praised him. "Good boy!"
Mendes lowered his blushing face.
Rachel was speechless.
Realizing that she had to leave, she packed up her things. Before she headed off to work, she said, "Don't go out. Wait for me here, okay?"
"Okay!"
"No problem!" Mendes and Lea answered simultaneously.
Rachel was still worried that Mendes might be too naughty for Lea. She prayed that they were going to be okay.
She knew that Lea had a temper and hoped that she'd be patient with Mendes.
Rachel felt agitated as she went to work. She kept looking at her phone in case something happened. But there were no text messages from Lea.
Mendes couldn't control himself when facing the beautiful Lea.
He carefully listened to her and watched cartoons together the whole day.
Mendes didn't understand what the cartoons were saying, but still agreed to watch. He liked looking at the bright colors and the moving pictures.
Rachel had an operation that morning. The patient seemed to have suffered internal injuries after falling from a building. Fortunately, it was treatable and after a few days, he'd recover.
