章 169: I'm All She Has

Alianna got up, walked a few meters away and answered her phone. The sound of sobbing greeted her ear the moment she pressed the green button and she already knew what was coming.

"Where are you? I'm at your door," Alianna's mother's voice sounded from the other line.

"I'm outside. Are you okay?"

Ali waited but her mother did not say anything. So there was only one thing that she could do at that moment. "Wait for me, I'll be right there."

She ended the phone call and strolled back towards Matthew, her expression looked evidently different before the call and he caught it. "Everything okay?" he asked.

Putting on her best smile, she nodded and started grabbing her things. "My mom's at my place and she doesn't have a key. I have to go."

"Oh, okay…" Matthew got up and brushed off the dirt from his pants before he turned to her. "I'll walk you to your car."
