Chapter 35 (B)

“What did she say now?”

“That you told her to stop caring about you. That’s why she left without meeting you. She is hurt by your words.”

I exhaled, thanking the lord that she didn’t tell mum about Ryan but again she made me the bad guy in front of her. I know I shouldn’t have said that but she said some pretty disturbing things too. She assumed I was the one who was the reason of Ryan and Ivy’s divorce.

“She hurt me with the words too. We’re equal now. She should drop this attitude now.” I rolled my eyes. “Plus, she left without saying goodbye to me. Do you think it didn’t hurt me?”

Just then, a car pulled over in the driveway and I knew Mateo was there. He was right on time because I didn’t want any more discussion about Eva with mum. I shuffled to my feet and turned my head to look at her.

“Is it okay if I spend the evening out? I’ll be back before bed time.” I asked, hoping she wouldn’t refuse.

“With Mateo?” She arched her eyebrow.
