Chapter 61 Missing the Family

The phone call had rained on her parade when her life had just turned for the better.

Hesitant, but she still answered it.

"Hey, Eliza."

As ever, Raelyn's voice was gentle and sweet.

"Raelyn."

Raelyn's call stressed her out, gulping.

"Eliza, I miss you. It's been a while since I came back, but you've never come home. Dad had been too hasty then; please don't be mad at him."

Raelyn's gentle voice and words made Eliza feel like crying. She calmed herself down, not wanting her to learn of her situation, or she'd definitely be sad for her.

In actuality, she was also missing home a little. Even if her stepfather didn't treat her well, her sister and mother still loved her. Gracelynn as well; they had barely been in touch since she got married. She hadn't seen them in a long time…

Eliza felt a lump in her throat, trying her best not to cry, but Raelyn only continued speaking when she didn't hear Eliza respond on the other end of the line.
