"Why do you look like you ran all the way here?" Anna asked, pulling a tissue from the holder and handing it to her mother.
Despite being the one who had driven at breakneck speed, Anna made sure she looked perfectly composed.
Roseline hesitated before lifting her gaze. "I wouldn't have had to rush if you hadn't called me like that," she said, finally taking the tissue.
"But you said you were already nearby." Anna tilted her head slightly, watching her mother too closely. "Or were you lying when you said you were around?"
The moment the words left her mouth, Roseline's shoulders stiffened.
Her throat tightened at the memory of standing outside Ethan's place, pretending to check her phone while secretly watching Kathrine. But she forced her expression to remain neutral.
"What is it you wanted to talk about?" she cut in, deliberately ignoring the question. "You said it was urgent."
