While she was making supper, a servant came over and said, “Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler just called and asked me to tell you that he's not coming back for dinner."

Rena was kneading the dough when the servant reported this.

She paused and asked, “When will he be back?"

The servant shook her head and said, "I don't know. He didn't tell me about that."

Rena nodded and continued to knead the dough absentmindedly. Since Alexis was craving for cake, Rena promised to bake a beautiful Little cake for her.
