The second the door was closed behind him, Riley was so relieved that her Legs went Limp and she collapsed to the floor

Debra’s POV:
“Riley!” I yelled, running to her worriedly.
When I helped her up, I found that Riley’s face was covered in tears.

She looked Like a poor, injured beast, sobbing quietly, not daring to cry too Loud.
“Mommy? Are you okay?”
Luca’s childish voice sounded from behind us.
Riley didn’t want her son to see her like this, so she immediately wiped her tears and straightened her wrinkled clothes. Then she turned around and smiled at Luca brightly.
“Mommy’s fine, honey. I just got a little dust in my eye. Don’t worry.”

“Debra, thank you so much for helping me out today,” Riley said sincerely, holding my hand.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Caleb wanted to talk to Adam, so I-”

I wanted to keep up with my Lie, but Riley interrupted me. “You don’t have to hide it from me, Debra. I know that you were lying.”
I paused in shock.
Even Adam, who was notoriously shrewd, couldn’t see through my little act. How did Riley see through it at a glance?
“As for why Caleb was willing to cooperate with you…” Riley’s voice trailed off and Looked at me quietly.
