Capítulo 65: Old ideals

Lara received a message on her phone in the late afternoon. Nate asked to meet with her, but he didn't want to talk in front of the kids.

She sighed, realising it must have been about the incident of the day.

She replied with a text, telling him she would come out of the building when he arrived. She didn't want to talk in front of the kids either.

When he called her back, she observed the phone in a panic. After quite a few seconds, she replied.

«Yes?»

«I'm here.»

«Uh... I'm... I'm on the way.»

She hung up and checked the kids. They were playing with the pieces of a puzzle. A new one, so she assumed Nate bought it for them.

«Mommy will be right back,» she said. «You two behave.»

«Yes, mommy,» Jaden mumbled while Scarlet waved her hand.

Lara closed the door behind her without locking it. She didn't feel safe locking her kids inside, for some reason.
