Adrian Desmond returned from a social gathering, having drunk quite a bit, and had just fallen asleep not long ago when Marion called him awake, his face showing an obvious annoyance at being disturbed.
"Uncle, where's my mom?"
Dylan was frantic; he hadn't seen his mother in her room. The bed was neatly made, as if untouched. Where did mom go?
"Your mom went traveling."
Paige Desmond handed Kiya over to Kiya and left with her luggage that day, starting her trip.
Kiya gripped the armrest of his chair tightly, asking with a stern expression, "Where did she go?"
"A global travel. How should I know exactly where she is now."
"It's so dangerous traveling alone as a woman. You're her brother, how can you indulge her like this?" Kiya accused.
Adrian slouched lazily, his eyes slightly cloudy from alcohol.
"She's an adult. It's her freedom to go wherever she wants."
