"Mom, who said I didn't come back?" Just as they were discussing, Preston's somewhat indignant voice rang out, followed by his entrance from the hallway.

"There you are! Come here," Karen said happily, seeing Preston.

Preston quickly responded, "No thanks, I don't want to come over just to get a lecture." Then, he looked at Nicole and motioned to her, "Come over here." He showed up because he knew Nicole had a reason for calling everyone together.

Nicole, understanding what Preston was thinking, gave a small smile.

"Why don't you come over here instead?" Preston reluctantly approached and sat down near the couch.

"Sit down, let's talk," Benjamin shook his head gently, adding, " Everyone's just concerned about you." "Yeah, I get it," Preston could only agree compliantly.
