Suddenly, the doorbell rang, so Natalie let go of Yulia and pulled a couple of tissues when she saw how red her mother’s eyes were. Natalie then went to get the door after handing Yulia the tissues.

Standing outside was Silas waving at her. “Sorry to bother you this late, Ms. Natalie.”

“It’s fine.” Natalie shook her head before asking curiously, “Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Campbell?”

“Oh, Mr. Shane and I came here to pick up something very important, but we couldn’t get the box opened, so I was wondering if you have the superintendent’s contact number.” Silas adjusted his glasses and tried to peek into Natalie’s living room as if he were looking for something.

However, Natalie did not notice the man’s peculiar behavior. She just smiled and nodded. “I do. Just give me a second. I’ll go get you his card.”

With that, Natalie turned and went back to the living room.

“Who is it, Baby Girl?” Yulia glanced at the door.

Natalie was squatting in front of the coffee table looking for the business card when she answered her mother, “It’s my boss. You should go to bed, Mom. I’m sure you’re jet-lagged.”

“Sure.” Yulia dropped the grapes and dusted her hands off before going to the bathroom.

Natalie returned to the door when she found the card and passed it to Silas.
