A Crazy Night Novel

“I’ll take over for you at work tomorrow, Mom,” Emilia said after a brief pause.

“Huh? Why?” Miranda asked as she had no idea why Emilia would say that all of a sudden.

Emilia didn’t reply and went back to playing with her phone.

Miranda had nothing further to say when she saw Emilia, a former celebrity, let herself go like that. All she could do was hide in a corner and weep in silence.

Meanwhile, the two kids fell asleep in the car after having a fun day at the amusement park.

Neither of them woke up even when they had arrived home.

Christina and Nathaniel had no choice but to carry them into the house.

Although their day at the amusement park was an exhausting one, Christina didn’t feel sleepy at all after taking a shower.

“What’s the matter? Are you not tired?” Nathaniel asked when he came out of the bathroom and saw Christina spacing out in bed.

Christina wrapped her arms around Nathaniel’s waist and rested her head against his chest. “I ran into Miranda at the clinic today. She’s working there as a janitor.”

Nathaniel had to dig deep into his memory in order to recall who Miranda was.

“She changed so much that I couldn’t recognize her at first. Her personality has changed a lot as well,” Christina continued.

Back then. Miranda would have arrogantly insulted her in response. This time, however, Miranda had run off with her tail between her legs.

“Life is unpredictable, and people can change.” Nathaniel could tell from Christina’s description that Miranda was not exactly living the life.

Christina fell silent after hearing that.
