Joan did not realize that she was upset and thought that she was tired. So he replied, ‘Okay, I’ll sleep too.’

Amanda heard the phone buzz and eagerly picked up the phone. Before she unlocked the screen, she already saw the message notification and began to laugh. She thought fondly about Joan and wondered if he really did not realize that she was upset or he just was not sensitive to such hints.

She placed her cellphone down and went to sleep.

Joan came early the next morning.

Amanda saw Joan sitting at the living hall having a conversation with Matthew.

“Are you here to freeload?” Amanda walked over to Joan.

Joan hesitated for a moment before laughing, “Yeah, I’m here just for a free meal.”

Amanda rolled her eyes and sat beside Matthew.

“Joan needs to go back.” Matthew said to her and continued, “He wishes that you leave with him. What do you think?”

Amanda was caught off guard and did not know how to respond. She asked Joan, “Was this what you mentioned about last night?”

Joan affirmed and said, “There are some things that require my attention.” He paused for a moment and then said, “I hope that you can go back with me.”

Amanda replied, “I don’t wish to.”

“Your grandmother’s health is frail and your mother wishes to stay here. We won’t be going back anytime soon. It’s not good for the house to be empty for too long. Go back there and help us maintain it.” Matthew said.

“Dad, aren’t you asking me to go back with him?” She meant that he was too obvious.
