Chương 810: Chapter 0809: Why Not Slap Him Twice

Jaylene Ziel was kneading dough when Joseph Thompson's mobile phone call came through.

"Jaylene, where have you gone?" Joseph's voice carried confusion, and the sound of a door being pushed open could also be heard from the phone, presumably him searching for her at home.

"I'm at my dad's place," Jaylene held the phone with her hands still coated in flecks of flour, "Aren't you giving me the afternoon off? Having nothing to do, I came over to my dad's. I'm kneading dough right now, preparing to make some dumplings for him."

"Then knead some extra dough, I'll come over and eat tonight too," Joseph instructed over the phone.

"...Okay," Jaylene hesitated for a moment but eventually responded with an okay.

Today she had slapped Phoebe Smith, and Joseph had returned to Thompson Manor in the afternoon; she didn't know what Phoebe would have told the Thompson Family.
