Chapter 49

Although Heather didn't outright mention it, Naomi knew that the phone call was a reminder for her to go back. Even without the phone call, she would have gone back anyway. Christine had been nagging for her to head back for the past few days. On the other end of the phone, Heather felt relieved when she heard that Naomi would return after dinner. She then hung up the phone after saying a few more words. As she had promised, Naomi drove back to Yellowind Bay after dinner. "Mrs. Ludwig, you're back!" Jennifer exclaimed. "Yeah." Naomi changed her shoes and glanced around. The house was empty even though it was the holidays. Jennifer said with a sly smile, "Mr. Ludwig has been here the past few days. He came back early today too." "Well, that's rare," Naomi replied. Naomi had been wondering why Heather had asked her to come back. It turned out that it was because Brendan was home alone. After chatting briefly with Jennifer downstairs, Naomi went upstairs with little enthusiasm.
