Chapter 10: Auntie Pinched Me

Noah Grant’s mother had put him in the car, saying she’d be back to get him in a little while.

But when he woke up, his mother still hadn’t appeared, so he got out to look for her himself.

However, the place was huge, and he couldn’t find his mother anywhere.

His lower lip began to tremble, and just as he was about to cry, two people appeared in front of him.

He looked up, recognized one of them, and mumbled, "Auntie."

Iris Yates nudged Chloe Reed’s arm with her elbow. "What should we do with him?"

Chloe Reed narrowed her eyes. She’d had a little too much to drink and wasn’t thinking clearly. She leaned down and gently pinched Noah Grant’s cheek. "What are you doing here?"

Tears instantly streamed down Noah Grant’s face. "WAH... Looking for Mommy."

"Hah... Then let him find her himself," Iris Yates scoffed. "If something happens to him, the Grants will never let Sunny Reed hear the end of it. I’d love to see how she explains her way out of that one." With that, she tried to pull Chloe Reed away.
