160 First Step

When he got back, he placed the water on the table and he noticed there was another set of plate besides the one for Zane. Tony felt touched that he immediately forgot his jealousy on his wife and daughter's secret interactions.

He grabbed Lorelei's arm and led her to sit beside him across their son Zane.

"Mom what did Fifth send you?" Zane ate heartily as he found everything nostalgic. He never knew what homesickness felt like before. But now, he knows that's what he must be feeling.

'Homesickness wasn't pertaining to a particular place. It's the people that's in that place. Ever since I left to manage the company, I could never get used to going home to an empty house', were Zane's thought while appreciating his Mom's cooking.

"Here. Look for yourself" Lorelei handed her phone and went back to catering her husband who forced her to feed him.

Zane took the phone and in it he saw a picture where at the first glance it looked like a class picture. In the middle was Violet with her victory pose and instead of students, surrounding her were stuffed toys of different shapes and sizes. Behind them instead of the school as the background, it was replaced with the backdrop showing the entire Arcade. And of course, Violet hid the liquors before taking the picture.

Zane scrolled through the phone and found that the entire conversation between the mother-daughter pair only consisted of pictures, there was no words. Zane was about to ask Lorelei but she beat him to it.

"I told you we've been in contact. Everyday we  send each other pictures or snapshots of what we were doing, what we are up to, anything interesting we see, anything we want each other to know or anything to share" explained Lorelei as she used a napkin to dab the corner of Tony's lips.

"Why am I not in it?" whined Tony.

"You'll ruin it. You won't be able to stop yourself from using words" rebutted Lorelei.

Tony felt he got left out, he took out his phone and video called Violet.

Over at Violet's side. Violet was raving with Karen as they sung in duet and dance on top of the stage. After a few more rounds, they both got tired and sat on the bench to snack.

Violet reached for the liquor and poured both of them a drink.

"That was so fun! Wooooh!" cheered Violet after downing the drink.

"I know right?! So how are you feeling now Violet?" asked Karen as she opened up snacks and gave some to Violet. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

"Eh? Now that you mentioned it. I actually felt great. I mean, I don't feel as crappy as I was when I got out of his building. Thank you Karen. At first, I really don't understand what you were going with all of this and I even thought your just hoodwinking me hahaha" Violet giggled as she reached and open an ice cream.

"Not feeling crappy is the first step of moving forward. I told you my story, are you ready to tell yours?" Karen asked Violet as she treaded carefully to assess the girl's emotions.

"Surprisingly, I think I do. Where should I sta-" Right when Violet was about to tell, her phone rang and caught their attention.
