Bab 71: A Joke?

All the way back Ashton kept on thinking what will be the outcome of their meeting. Will he be hunted once more? Will his brother agree to keep this a secret? Will they have to relocate once more? Stuff like that. 

He was late for lunch, as he didn't even go home at all since he left early in the morning. He was expecting to be scolded or something, but never did he expect to find the commotion that was taking place there. "What's happening here"? He asked his mother who was standing face to face with another woman, red faced.

"Ashton this Mrs Slater, and this is her son" she pointed at the woman and then to a kid standing right next to her who looked around the twins age. There was a big bruise above the cheekbones of the kid that made it seem like there was some involved in some sort of violence. "According to this woman, Ava beat up her son for 'no good reason". Mrs Parker rolled her eyes.
