Xander stared at his phone in disbelief.
The moment he heard someone screaming through the call, his heart had nearly stopped beating.
Taylor, who sat beside him, immediately turned toward his boss with concern.
"Is everything alright, boss?"
Lately, this had become Taylor's most frequently asked question.
Ever since his boss developed what Taylor secretly called phone-induced emotional instability, every time he saw Xander staring at his phone like it had become the eighth wonder of the world, he knew something unexpected was about to happen.
Xander finally pulled himself out of his thoughts and ended the call.
"We're not going home," he suddenly announced.
Taylor almost choked.
"Why, boss?" he asked urgently.
Xander had already known that Ivy went to pick Leo up from school. But after calling Teddy to ask whether they had returned home safely, he learned they were still outside—
At an amusement park.
