With Debbie's assurance, Tabitha nodded in approval.
She liked her daughter-in-law. She was simple, honest but also quite perky when she was with Carlos.
Megan sat next to Carlos with her hands propped against her jaw, wearing her typical sweet smile. "Tabitha is so nice to Aunt Debbie. I'm envious," she said.
Tabitha smiled, "Megan, one day when you get married, your mother-in-law will be nice to you too."
"I'm too young to think about getting married, Tabitha," Megan replied. At that point, a housemaid handed her a cup of tea; she took it and lowered her head to take a sip.
Tabitha smiled and continued to talk with Debbie. "Which year are you in at university? Busy at school?" she asked.
"I'm in my Junior year. We're not so busy," she replied.
"What's your major?" Tabitha asked.
Just then, the housemaid with Jake upstairs ran down, flustered. "Mr. and Mrs. Huo, something's up," she reported nervously.
"What's wrong?" asked Megan.
The housemaid ignored her and looked at Debbie, saying, "The boy... Mrs. Huo, I didn't mean it. I was cleaning. I didn't notice... I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen..."
The housemaid was so scared she was on the verge of crying.
Debbie had an ominous feeling. She stood up and went upstairs.
