Franklin saw his son and daughter pushing around outside, so he shouted, "Why are you guys not coming in?"

"Franklin isn't letting me in!" Janelle pouted. She was blushing.

Franklin glanced at his son, "Come in, I need to tell you something."

After a moment of silence, Jacob nodded. He then let his sister cheer and drag him into the house.

While closing the door, Franklin asked, "Why did you come back so early? Was it you who picked Janelle up? It's alright. Janelle shouldn't have gone out so late at night. I was worried about her."

Jacob was smiling happily when he heard his father chattering.

After six years of a life and death experience, a nag from his family was what he asked for the most.

Although he had expected the scene before he went upstairs, he was still surprised to find out that Suzie, who had always pulled a long face at him, actually changed her attitude.

"Come and have an apple. Your dad bought it from an out-of-town orchard. It's really sweet!" The woman smiled while handing Jacob a big red apple.

"Stepmom, you're not being fair to me!" Janelle acted like a child competing for favor.

Suzie rolled her eyes at her. "How can I forget about you. Here. Don't eat anything else until you finish it!"

When Janelle saw the apple which was bigger than her face, she smiled and tried to give it back to her stepmom. "Uh, forget it. I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat it now."

"You must eat it!" Suzie frowned.

Seeing the two women fooling around again, Franklin smiled and shook his head. He then winked at his son, "Let's go upstairs. I need to ask you something."

Jacob nodded and put down the apple in his hand.

More than half an hour later, the two men walked down calmly under the curious gaze of the two women of the Lynch family.

Franklin, whose spirit was completely different from before, looked at his wife and ordered, "Go clean up Jacob's bedroom. He's not leaving tonight."

"Alright!" Suzie responded in a coquettish voice.

After a while, Franklin's voice could be heard coming out from Jacob's bedroom. "You better just sit there and don't move. I'll do it."

In the living room, Janelle moved and sat nearer to Jacob. "Jacob, what did dad talk to you about just now?"

Jacob, who was leaning against the couch, glanced at his sister and replied. "Nothing, just some small matters."

"Hmph, forget it!" Janelle pouted. She bent over and picked up a big apple on the coffee table.
