"Where are you," Christina asked Charles without greeting him first. Since only one day had passed since their fight, her angry voice indicated that she was still mad with Sarah and Charles. Calling them meant degrading herself, and she had no kind words to offer.
In the beginning, Charles wanted to engage in friendly talk, but his mother's attitude changed his mood. Standing up for himself, she asked coldly. "What's wrong?" He didn't want her to know where they were right now.
