"We are sorry," Helena and Lorraine apologized in unison.
Ava Hailstorm regarded her older sisters with an indifferent expression and asked, "How old is your son?"
Helena's eyes twitched, expecting a different line of conversation after their heartfelt apology. Instead, her younger sister was focused on Sam's age, and it irked her.
"He's eighteen years old," Helena replied with a hint of annoyance in her voice. It seemed that Ava wasn't particularly thrilled by their return and was more interested in Sam for some reason.
"...He's so handsome. I understand why you wanted to keep him a secret. But why did you decide to reveal his existence now? Aren't you afraid that your ex-husband will try to take him away from you?" Ava inquired, her tone still quite nonchalant.
