The smile playing on his lips vanished. A sigh escaped him. Debra, I apologize. There were some things I did wrong, but there were also a lot of misunderstandings. I hope you can trust me again.

This was the perfect opportunity for me to teach Debra a lesson, to finally get her to leave Andrew and the witch clan for good.
With that in mind, I quickly got dressed and walked out, holding up the hem of my dress with a joyful stride.
But just as I reached the stairs, I ran into my mother and Addy.
My mothers expression turned cold at the sight of me. My heart skipped a beat as I approached her with caution. Mom
