Cuts That Run Deep Leave Scars (1)

A few months later…

Cynthia got out of the Town Car as soon as it parked in front of the mansion like she was in a hurry. The butler said something to her before she hurried inside the house, leaving her children behind who had just gotten out of the car. Oliver and Angela raced towards the mansion's front door. 

"Young Master, Young Miss, no running," reprimanded the butler as he followed the siblings inside the house, carrying their bags in his hand.

"No running~" mocked Oliver in a sing-song voice, which sent Angela into a fit of giggles.

"Where did mommy go, Elias?" she asked when they reached the kitchen, excitedly climbing up a stool to reach the freshly baked muffins.
