Caleb stared earnestly, saying, “Oh, come on. Just a peek. Please?”
Caleb was getting annoying. At the end of my rope, I said to him seriously, “Caleb, this is a secret between me and Zoe. I can’t tell you. Otherwise, she won’t let me go.”

“Okay, fine.” Caleb stopped pestering me about the video.
“Then be careful when you come into contact with Zoe in the future. And if there’s anything you can’t solve on your own, just come to me. I’m here for you.”

Feeling embarrassed and guilty, I changed the subject and complained
“Caleb, I’m so hungry. Come on and cook something for me.”
Caleb Looked at me in confusion. Then he understood what I meant and cracked a small smile.
Although the smile on his face was faint, it had an extraordinary charm that was irresistible to me.
I blushed slightly and quickly turned around so that Caleb wouldn’t see my reaction.
When I reached the Living room, a strange man suddenly appeared at the door of Elena’s room. His face was painted in various, weird colors, obscuring his features. Only a pair of pupils were recognizable under the thick layers of makeup.
“Oh, my God! You’re finally back!” the man wailed.
Only when I heard the voice did I recognize that this strange-looking man was none other than Carlos.
Caleb squinted at him and asked curiously, “What happened to your face,
Carlos?”
