Half an hour later, Edward Stephens walked out of the detention center, under the awkward smile and sweaty brow of the director who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
He got into the car, sat in the back seat, resting his face on his hand, turning his head to look out the window, silent.
Lady Stephens climbed into the car, sat with him in the back seat, her face still carrying the remnants of anger.
"Just look at you, why are you so disappointing? You've just reconciled with Daisy for a few days, and now you've upset her again. Do you want to drive your mother to her grave?"
"Why are you just sitting there dumbly? Hurry up and call Daisy to apologize, and cheer her up!"
After speaking, seeing her son still sitting there unmovingly, she reached directly for his phone to personally call Daisy Ginger to apologize.
Edward glanced at her, letting her fiddle with his phone, and only after Lady Stephens dialed the number did he calmly say, "She blacklisted my number."
