The reason was quite simple.
Angie had wanted to make sure that his mother had no choice but to focus all of her attention on him.
And it turned out that his gamble had worked.
Back then, after his younger brother had disappeared, his mother had poured all of her attention, resources, and expectations onto him alone.
At the time, he had felt relieved, convinced that everything would be fine from then on.
Now, however, things were completely different. The same mother who had once protected him was looking at him with disappointment and anger.
Fear gripped Angie's heart.
Without wasting another second, he hurried outside. The moment he saw his mother standing there beneath the dim lights, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Mother... Mother, please don't be angry."
His voice trembled slightly. "I understand my mistake. I promise. I swear that I will never go after Olivia again."
