Mothers' Fight

Hoy knew things was going to turn messy when Cixi received a call and her face looked pale instantly. The call had saved him from explaining his presence here but this was another bigger trouble. 

The look Cixi gave to Hoy while answering the call told him she knew about the news already.

"Are you okay?" Jaime asked. He was worried, and so was his daughters who were patiently waiting for their mother to tell them what was wrong immediately she got off the phone. 

"Uh... I... I will be back." Cixi said to her daughters before looking at her husband, using her eyes to tell him to follow her out.

She gave Hoy the same look too but when he was about to leave the room, Joreen's face fell. She was tired of this hide and seek game between them. By now, she would have probably been linking arms with him while they would return to their floor together or telling him about some exciting thing she saw online. But now, she had to act like she didn't care.
