Zoe Lewis was wronged to death!
She didn't even argue with him!
She clearly didn't say a word, it was all him scolding her! Reprimanding her!
But she couldn't say this to Mrs. Watt, after all, she was Ryker's mother, and as a mother, she would naturally side with her son.
But Mrs. Watt wasn't stupid. Zoe's silence showed that they did indeed have an argument.
She immediately said, "Little Zoe, don't mind Ryker. When we find him, I'll scold him for you! I know my own son. Though he seems gentle, he actually has a stubborn and foul temper. He's surely made you suffer, and as an aunt, I apologize on his behalf! But we must find him. You don't know, when he starts digging coal, he does it day and night, to the point where he could exhaust himself to death!"
Zoe listened, tears streaming down her face, not knowing if it was out of heartache for Ryker or because Mrs. Watt was taking her side without asking the reasons.
