Dinner lasted for a few minutes. I could tell that the girls rushed their food just so they would speak to Lucas. Immediately they were done, they begged me to call him.
I tried his number several times, but all the calls went straight to voicemail. What if something was actually wrong?
It was unusual for him to ignore my calls.
He always answered. Even if he was busy, he would pick up and ask to return the call later. What was going on?
After a few more attempts, I gave up and asked the kids to go back to their room. They were upset but couldn’t do anything about it.
I also couldn’t do anything about it.
A part of me was worried.
After they left, I decided to call his house phone. Fortunately enough, one of the housekeepers answered the phone.
