Changing Only For Her Novel

“No matter how busy she is, your problems cannot be taken lightly. Your situation there is really too dangerous, Caleb. I’m going to call Sophie right now,” Charmaine said anxiously.

She was like a cat on hot bricks.

No matter what, Caleb was her son, and she knew he was her only hope in the future. Hence, Charmaine couldn’t let anything happen to him.

“Mom, you don’t need to concern yourself with this. I’ll think of a way,” Caleb stated plainly. Sophie doesn’t owe me anything.

“Caleb, I can only depend on you now. Please come back! When Anglandur was safe, I didn’t have any objections to you staying there for your research. However, it’s far too dangerous to stay there right now. Everyone is trying to get out of there right now. You can’t stay there anymore,” Charmaine reasoned.

“Okay. I understand.”

It was not that Caleb wanted to stay there. However, leaving there was not easy.

After hanging up the call, Charmaine immediately called Sophie. Even though the line went through, nobody picked up.

Charmaine’s expression turned darker by the second.

It was the first time in a long time that she thought to ask Sophie for help. However, her daughter wouldn’t even spare her the courtesy of picking up the call.

“Mom, is Sophie not picking up?” Willow seemed to have turned over a new leaf recently. She no longer stirred trouble and only stayed by Charmaine’s side.

“Yes. She’s avoiding my calls.”

A grim look spread across Charmaine’s face. She knew that Sophie had never thought of her as her mother.

This is why I don’t like her.

“How could Sophie do this to you? We’re family, no matter what happens. It’s so dangerous for Caleb to be alone at Anglandur right now. Mom, don’t take this the wrong way, but I think Caleb should return right now,” Willow said.

Noticing Charmaine’s darkened expression, Willow added, “I promise you that I’ll behave and not get on Sophie’s nerves.”

“I didn’t mean to blame you. Sophie’s not picking up my calls right now, and I don’t know what else I can do,” Charmaine groaned.

She knew that Sophie was in Anglandur, and there was no way Charmaine could get her points across to Sophie right now.
