Grace’s POV
“Your mom wants to speak with you," Aunt Harriet thrust the phone towards me.
“Uhm… I am busy now. I’ll call her later.” I smiled slightly.
“She’s busy, Adelia. She says she’ll call you later,” Aunt Harriet spoke quietly to the phone.
I have successfully avoided speaking with my mom for almost a month now. I was yet to get over that my mom will sell me away for some selfish family interest. The betrayal was still fresh in my mind, and I had to remind myself daily that I don’t need to hate her.

“Nothing. I have just been really busy, coupled with our exams…” I trailed off.
“Let me call you back, Adelia,” she told my mom before hanging up.
