There was a moment of silence on the phone.

"I want to see him

Erica rejected without hesitation, "That's not happening. You're never gonna see him. Don't even think about it!"

“Hey! At least Let me explain. It's not what you think—"

“So what? He's not your son. He's mine. He doesn't even have your last name. It's Leonard now. And his name is Ethan, not like it matters to you!" Erica shouted angrily

Surprise could be heard in Tam's voice when he replied, "I'll come see you. I'm free now."

With these words, Erica hung up the

Holding the phone, she paced back and forth, thinking about where to meet Tam. She was lost in thought, and she stopped suddenly as she noticed someone in front of her. It scared Erica so much that she almost screamed.
