After a long chat with Mrs. Chen, Amelia returned to her room and washed up. Apparently, they had talked the whole night for it was already midnight.
Amelia had meant to call Courtney to ask if she had some money to spare. However, realizing that it wasn't a small amount she needed, she thought better of it.
Nonetheless, she received a call from Courtney, who was inviting her out for a meal.
"Aren't the weekends a good time for making money? Why are you asking me out?" Courtney's shop was full on weekends, and Amelia had no intention of taking her time or being in her way.
"We haven't seen each other for days, and I miss my godson!" Courtney said eagerly over the phone.
"You can see only me, though," Amelia replied coldly.
"Alright, alright. I don't have time to argue with you. Open the door. I'm right outside!" Courtney urged impatiently on the other end of the line.
"Really?" Amelia opened the door and found Courtney standing there, carrying bags of various sizes.
Upon seeing Amelia, Courtney seemed like she had finally found someone who could free her from all her suffering. She took a deep breath and said, "Come on! Take me inside!"
As Amelia took her bags from Courtney, she saw her turn around and stagger toward more luggage near the ancient tree.
Confused, Amelia asked, "Are you moving?"
Her friend not only had many bags in her hands and arms. She now pushed a large suitcase as well.
"That's right. I've brought my luggage here!" Courtney explained as she pushed the suitcase into the room.
Amelia murmured something. She quickly followed Courtney into the room and inquired, "Did you quarrel with your father again?"
In the past, Courtney had done the same thing. She had often sought Amelia's comfort whenever she had some misunderstanding with Kent or her father.
"My dad and I are in good terms right now," Courtney responded. She picked up the bottle of milk sitting on Amelia's bedside table, took off the lid, and drank it all up.
