Chapter 472

Vera had a feeling of what was going on. She had discovered that the maids were sneaking snacks—and junk food at that—to Laney.

As a lady, she believed Laney shouldn’t eat any junk food. lt was disgraceful. But Vera didn’t say anything. She reasoned that it would be best to catch Laney on the spot.

That night, Laney told her that she was not having dinner and she wanted to go to bed right away.

Vera was quite certain that Laney would get up at midnight to eat junk food since she skipped dinner. So she turned off the light in her room and waited quietly.

A little after midnight, she heard noises from downstairs, just as she had expected.

As quietly as a mouse, Vera walked towards the kitchen in darkness. She wanted to catch Laney this time.

“Laney! she called out as she switched on the light in the kitchen.

“Are you having junk food again? In the middle of the night, even? You know that…”

Her voice trailed off when she saw the person in front of her.

“Garrett!”

Her son was standing next to the fridge door with a slice of pizza in his mouth.

“Mom! Are you sleepwalking? I’m not Laney.”

Garrett then took out the box of pizza from the fridge and put it on the table. He then pulled out the chair beside the table and sat down.

Vera smiled awkwardly.

“Garrett, when did you come home?”

Garrett had been too busy with work that leaving for home had been difficult. So, he had been staying in the hotel near the company.
