Before driving off, Ian decided that he needed to speak to his mother. He felt like there was something he needed to discuss with her.
He checked the time and was happy to see that it wasn't too late in the night. She would probably still be awake, washing the dishes or doing some house chores.
Ian dialed her number and waited for her to pick up.
She seemed to be quite busy since it took a few rings before his mom finally picked up the phone and Ian heard her happy yet tired voice.
"So my independent and successful son decided to call." Constance Lim greeted him over the phone.
"Hey mom, sorry I haven't called or been over for a while, things have been, ummmm tough and hectic." Ian said.
