Caught off guard, staring at Flossie Wright who nodded without any hesitation, a faint trace of loss crossed Mrs. Wright’s eyes, though it was quickly concealed.
In the end, she still hoped that her daughter could stay. After all, once Flossie left this time, she didn’t know when she would return.
Moreover, Flossie only had a ten-day leave, and after ten days she would return to the Forces. By then, they wouldn’t be able to see each other for more than a year... probably any mother would feel reluctant to let go.
However, no matter how reluctant she was, what has happened could not be changed.
The next morning, just as daylight broke, the driver from the Wright family who was there to pick up Flossie arrived. He was constantly badgering them through his mobile phone, calling Mrs. Wright every two minutes, afraid that she would delay for even a second. He was in a frantic rush to get Flossie downstairs.
Since she was no longer the mistress of the Wright family, this driver paid no attention to her. Even basic respect was thrown out the window.
There was a ’knock, knock, knock’.
Flossie’s room door was carefully tapped on.
Immediately followed by the gentle voice of Mrs. Wright, "Flossie, are you awake?"
No sooner than she had finished speaking, Flossie, who was doing sit-ups inside the room, stood up from the floor and quickly opened the door.
Standing outside the door, Mrs. Wright was somewhat surprised to see Flossie fully dressed. She hesitated for a few seconds before she came to her senses. Then she asked Flossie, "Flossie, the driver from the Wright family is waiting for you downstairs. Are you going straight down or eating breakfast first?"
𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Let him wait."
Flossie frowned slightly, paying no attention to the so-called Wright family driver.
As Mrs. Wright hesitated, the phone in her hand rang again. Seeing the series of numbers gave her a bit of a headache. However, her ingrained courtesy made her have to answer it.
"When are you coming down?"
The moment she picked up the call, she could hear the driver’s disgruntled voice from the other end of the phone. The unpleasant tone could irritate anyone who heard it.
So, before the good-natured Mrs. Wright could reply, the phone was taken over by Flossie. Mrs. Wright instinctively looked up to find that Flossie had hung up the call, quickly blocked the number, and returned the phone back to her within seconds.
This series of actions was quick and to the point, simple and casual, as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world. Mrs. Wright was left dumbfounded.
She didn’t expect that Flossie would simply obey the driver’s instructions. She had even prepared for a possible argument between Flossie and the driver. She never expected that Flossie would calmly block the number, and her phone was returned intact.
"Breakfast as usual."
At the moment she returned the phone to her, Flossie had already walked out of the door. As she passed her, she said it indifferently, and before she had the chance to react, she went straight to the restroom to wash up.
That morning, the driver waited in the car for a full three hours. Waiting was the most frustrating part, unable to make a call or get a precise answer, and he was frantic throughout the process.
If he was asked to wait for Mr. Wright, he would wait patiently without a word, not daring to make any hurry-up calls. But he firmly believed that the former missus of Wright family couldn’t return, that Flossie was not the favoured one in the Wright family, that she was usually full of complaints and fuss, that Mr. Wright would definitely not listen to her. Therefore, he dared to behave in such a superior manner, completely assuming that Flossie couldn’t complain about him to Mr. Wright.
