Chapter 47: Babysitting
Kaiden turned his head toward the direction of the new voice and saw a small teen emerge from a room beyond the lounge area.
She had the same silver-colored hair as Aria and bore a strong resemblance to the woman in general, though she was much less developed. Kaiden guessed her age to be around 12.
"He did what?!" Aria asked angrily. "I told him to stop; he'll ruin his future!"
As if fate wanted to prove her right, her phone rang with a comical timing. She picked it up, and her face went pale immediately. "Yes. Yes... Argh... I'll be right there."
Once her call was finished, she exhaled a long, tired sigh. "That little brat got caught with weed in his pocket. I'll have to go to the police station as his legal guardian."
"Is it serious?"
"No, he only had a very small amount on him... They'll likely let him off the hook with a slap on the wrist."
"Good, can I help?" Kaiden wanted to be of assistance because he believed Aria to already have more than enough on her plate, she didn't need a rebellious teen to act out against her.
"No, I'll deal with it..." his girlfriend shook her head but then paused, thinking of something. Aria uncertainly muttered, "Could I maybe..."
Seeing her reluctance to finish her sentence, Kaiden nudged her along. "Yes?"
