“Dad,” Carmen whispered, pressing the phone tightly to her ear.
Her gaze swayed away from the morning light creeping through the window and focused on her stomach as she gently rubbed it.“What is it, Carm? It's six o'clock in the morning. Are you in labor?” Mr. Smith's voice flowed out of the phone speaker.For a moment, Carmen absentmindedly stared at the spared pillow. Then she shooked her head and snapped out of her thoughts.
“Did you have something to do with Liam's disappearance?” Carmen asked, feeling a dull throb in her chest.

I can't believe I left my family for this!” Carmen mumbled with an aching heart.“Fine. See you tomorrow, Mrs. Ash.”“Why are you doing this!”"What?"With a calm expression, Liam rested his fork on the table and said, “I'm not doing anything.

Then she turned to Dax, but he kept his eyes focus on the food, but she still smiled at him and said, “Good morning,” Although there was tension between them, when Dax lifted his head and saw Ethan staring at him, he gazed at Carmen and mumbled, “Morning.” A few minutes after breakfast was over, Carmen was about to stand from her seat when Dax finally looked at her and said, “The driver will take Ethan to school.

But at that moment, his stomach grumbled, and Carmen couldn't help but giggle. Then she smiled and asked, “Do you want us to stop at a restaurant and grab something to eat.” “Ummm…” Ethan mumbled, staring down at his shoe. “Are you okay?” “Are you?” “What?” After a brief moment of hesitation, Ethan looked into the mirror and mumbled, “Why were you crying, mommy?” “I was just sad.
