"I didn't take a lunch break today." Jane Sampson was briefly startled by Minister Carter's gentle voice, which didn't seem accusatory, "Uncle Carter, did you call me because there's something important?"
"I should have called you two days ago, but I just couldn't find the time, and I thought it wouldn't be sincere to rush through the conversation with you." Minister Carter sighed, "I'm calling to apologize to you about Jillian's actions, girl, I am sorry, it is my failure as a father not to have raised my daughter properly, which led her to do those things."
Father Carter paused, "I know what she's thinking, but rest assured, I won't agree to it."
Hearing that Father Carter specifically called to apologize on behalf of Jillian, Jane Sampson's feelings suddenly became a mix of many emotions.
From initial shock and bewilderment to a slow and gradual envy.
"Uncle is really good to Jillian." Jane Sampson commented softly, her tone filled with carefully concealed envy.
