"Teacher Howee, teacher Howee!" a child's voice came from the speaker of the phone. His voice is filled with excitement. "Are you still on a vacation?" he asked.
"Yes." Huo Ling answered.
"When will you be back?" the child asked.
Suddenly, a chuckle was heard from the phone. "Hey, Justin. It's just the second day of your teacher Howee's vacation, and you're asking him to go back?" a male voice spoke.
"Maxwell!" Huo Ling exclaimed. "Jason left Justin to you again?" he asked.
"Can't help it. He has lots of work to do." Maxwell answered in a helpless tone. "Justin. He's your uncle. Call your teacher Howee 'uncle'." He told the child.
"I miss uncle Howee!" Justin spoke.
Huo Ling felt his heart melted. "I'll immediately go back." He said, feeling his heart softening.
"Don't indulge him, Howee. You have to rest, too." Maxwell told him.
