บท 116: Outrage!

Three days leave was over and Catherine was now back in Cavite City.

When she entered their house her mother and her younger siblings were watching TV.

"Hello everyone I'm back!" she kissed Jacob and Lily's cheek including her mother. She gave them some goodies and sweet delicacies from Zamboanga Del Sur, courtesy of John.

The kids got busy rummaging through the contents of the shopping bag and their innocent faces shrieked in delight while began devouring the sweet delicacies...

"Too sweet...," said Jacob.

"Yummmy...!" giggled Lily.

While the children's faces were so engrossed munching on the sweets however their mother snubbed the delicacy as if they don't exist.

Thelma focused her eyes on the TV show that she was watching.

Catherine noticed that her mother ignored the delicacies she brought with her.

"Mother, why you're not eating?" she asked why and it bothered her.

"All these are from John, right?" Thelma asked in a cold voice.
