I kept reminding myself that I shouldnât care about what time Caleb would come back and what he did outside.
But whenever I closed my eyes and tried to sleepâ¦
Forget it.
I couldnât do it at all.
The second I closed my eyes, all I could imagine was how much fun Caleb mustâve been having in the bar with all kinds of women surrounding him.
And Carlos, that bad influence mightâve even goaded Caleb into picking up other girls.
I tossed and turned restlessly in bed and couldnât fall asleep at all.
In the end, I couldnât help but text Caleb, asking him why he hadnât come back yet.

I couldnât help but frown, but when the camera focused on that womanâs face, I realized that I had misunderstood.

âWhatâs insane about me calling the woman I love?â Caleb immediately refuted, puffing out his chest indignantly.
I couldnât help but burst into giggles, feeling warm and delighted inside.
It turned out my worries had been unfounded.
Soon after hanging up, I heard the sound of a car parking outside the house.
I opened my bedroom door a creak and as soon as I heard the familiar footsteps walking inside the apartment, I quickly shut the door again.
Caleb had come back home, and I could tell that he was trying not to make a sound.
If I hadnât been listening for his arrival intently, I wouldnât have known he had come home.
I had to admit that he was a great father.
I warned him not to wake
Elena up, and he took my warning seriously.
Normally, he wouldâve made a commotion just to Let me know that he was home.
