“She... she...”Xian pointed at Nola as though she were something far worse than a ghost.“What is she doing in our house? Where did she even come from?”“She is Meryl’s younger sister, Nola. You know her?” Leslie explained.“Meryl’s sister?”The connection clicked into place, and Xian clamped a hand over his mouth.He was finished.There would be no peace in his life from now on.At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to dissolve into smoke and vanish.“I just remembered something. I have to go.”“Stop right there! Get back here, you brat!”Samuel shouted after him several times, but Xian kept moving without the slightest hesitation.“Stop.”A clear female voice rang through the room.Xian had already reached the doorway. He froze on the spot, one foot still lifted, not daring to move another inch.Everyone turned toward the voice.Nola?Even Samuel looked taken aback. He had called the boy back more than once and been completely ignored. Nola only needed one word.“Come back.”
