Callum's fingers instinctively tightened around Adora's much smaller hand, feeling as if he never wanted to let go. When he was little, it was always Adora leading him by the hand.
Years later, he towered over her by a head, and even his hands were much larger than hers.
Not only that, but some feelings had also quietly changed over time.
Adora drove Callum back to the Nicholls residence. She stopped outside the main gate, but she did not get out. Instead, she just rolled down the window and waved goodbye.
"You should head in. I won't come inside. Send my regards to Uncle Nate and Auntie Mae for me."
Callum nodded, his expression slightly melancholy.
Then, the car quickly drove off, disappearing into the night.
Callum watched the taillights turn at the corner, frowning slightly. That was not the direction back to the Jenkins estate; it was heading toward Peakview Tower.
A deep sense of helplessness washed over him, leaving him utterly dejected.
…
As Adora drove, she turned up the car's stereo to drown out her gloomy mood. Midway, her phone rang, interrupting the Bluetooth audio. She glanced at it and quickly answered when she noticed it was her mother.
"Mom, what's up?"
Sheena asked, "Did you drop Callum off? Are you on your way back?"

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
