Bab 450: Going Home

Selma Payne's POV:

Due to a slight change in the route plan, we did not pass by the Shadow Pack this time. That was why, in the face of the video call from Rhode and my adoptive parents, I could only use my acting to pretend everything was fine and pray that they didn't notice anything strange.

Fortunately, I managed to fool my adoptive parents from this phone call. Unfortunately, I didn't fool Rhode.

"What happened? Do you know that you frown when you pretend to be happy?" Rhode confirmed his suspicion.

Sometimes, your family knows you better than you do. This time, I'd fallen into Rhode's hands.

I tiredly rubbed my head and brows before vaguely saying, "Something did happen, but you know, in my position, it would be strange if nothing happened."

"Can you tell me? However, from the perspective of a family member, if it's something confidential, then forget it. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

"Alright... I'm sorry."
