NovelEnglishChapter 99 Harvey Manor.
When Adrian received a call from his mother, Mila, he was both surprised and elated. He had been worried about the incident where he accidentally upset his mom, causing her to faint. To avoid any punishment, he had been staying at his friend Giselle's house. He wanted to ask his dad about it, but feared that it might lead to more trouble.

Her calling him must have meant she wasn't angry anymore, right? Adrian eagerly answered, "Mom! It's been so long since you called. I've missed you so much." Hearing her son's cheerful voice, Mila felt a flutter of emotion, as if it had been ages since they last spoke. "Adrian," she said softly, unsure of what to say next.
Adrian filled the silence with a stream of words expressing how much he missed her, finally asking cautiously, "Mom, are you feeling better?" "I'm fine," Mila replied, her voice taking on a more neutral tone as she understood what he was referring to. Adrian breathed a sigh of relief, his spirits lifting further. "So, Mom, what's up?" Mila took a deep breath. "Do you remember the great-aunt I told you about?" She had often talked about making peace with her estranged aunt and introducing her son to her, hoping for a reconciliation. Adrian should remember her from those stories.
After a brief pause, Adrian responded confidently, "I remember. Why, what's going on, Mom?" "I'm planning for us to have dinner with her tomorrow. Would you like that?" Adrian's excitement bubbled over, "Is it going to be your cooking, Mom? It's been ages since I tasted your dishes. I want sspicy chicken..." He went on to list a number of spicy dishes. Mila hesitated before declining, "I'm really busy right now and pressed for time, so we'll eat out this time. I promise I'll cook for you soon." Adrian, unused to his mother refusing him, felt a twinge of annoyance. He was about to protest but then recalled her recent fainting spell, which filled him with a sense of guilt. Reluctantly, he agreed.
"Okay, but promise you'll cook fornext time." Mila felt relieved at his agreement, "I'll pick you up from htomorrow." Adrian was about to agree when he remembered he was staying at Giselle's. His mom wasn't fond of Giselle yet, and telling her would only upset her. What a hassle.
He quickly said, "Mom, just sendthe address. I'll cwith Dad tomorrow." He naturally assumed his dad would be included in the dinner plans, as was customary in the past. Mila frowned. Her aunt didn't get along with Lysander, and his presence would surely ruin the meal. Besides, she didn't want to see him herself.
"I'll pick you up. Your dad's busy and won't be joining us." Adrian was taken aback but didn't think much of it. He certainly didn't want his mom picking him up from Giselle's, so he quickly countered, "Mom, just sendthe address. I'll have the driver takethere. It's late. Goodnight, Mom!"
