Not only did Kyle look at her like she was an alien, but Maya was also very shocked and confused, her large eyes blinking continuously.

They did not understand why a girl like Avril would want to stay with an old man like their grandpa.

When Avril noticed the four children’s intense gazes on her, she immediately blushed and explained, “No, it’s not that. I don’t want to stay with your grandpa. I just want to stay somewhere nearer to him.”
