71 Evening With Rebecca

Upon reaching home, he noticed that the doors were locked.

"Did mom go somewhere? She promised me that she would only do the night shift at the nearby convenience store," he muttered.

Rudy unlocked the door and walked in. He glanced around the table and the kitchen to see if Rebecca had left any notes, but she hadn't.

"Where did she go?"

Soon, Rebecca walked in the front door.

She was wearing formal clothes as though she had gone to a function or something.

"Where were you?" Rudy asked in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Court," Rebecca replied with a sigh. "I just got married."

"Oh! How did it go?"

Rudy walked to the kitchen and took out a water bottle from the refrigerator. He filled the glass and gave it to Rebecca.

"Nothing much. We simply had to sign on the documents and needed one witness. I was going to call you, but you were at school. So Joe had brought Lucy," Rebecca responded in a calm voice.

"So… when are they moving in?" Rudy asked hesitantly.
