Miguel didn't answer Spencer's question, nor did he continue to talk about Alina. In a word, he fell into silence.
After a while, Leena packed up the housework and said goodbye to her, "Mom, I'm going back. I'm tired tonight. You and brother should go to bed early."
Mrs. Yang stood up and said, "Leena won't stay at home tonight? Your brother just came back. You two haven't talked much yet. "
Glancing at Peterson, she thought that she had met Peterson many times, and there was no need to talk because of all kinds of interests conflicts. However, she wouldn't break the ice in front of her mother. She still smiled and said, "Mom, brother will contact me in private, and he just came back. He must have a lot to talk to you. I have something to deal with tomorrow, so I'll go back first. I won't disturb you."
Mrs. Yang wanted to say something more, but seeing that Leena was very determined, she sighed and agreed, asking her to be careful on the way.
After Leena left, Spencer and Miguel also left. So they stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Yang one by one.
However, at this time, Peterson also stood up and said to her, "Mother, I don't live at home tonight. It's late and you need to rest, so I'm going back."
Mrs. Yang was really surprised this time. "My son... Peterson, why are you leaving? You just came back. Why did you leave again? "
"Mom, I'll come back to see you again. I'm not leaving, but temporarily." Peterson coaxed her.
Mrs. Yang was still unwilling to leave. She tried her best to persuade Peterson to stay, but he still wanted to leave. At last, Mrs. Yang had no choice but to cry and said, "Why don't you understand my hard work? I haven't seen you for almost ten years. You just came back and want to leave again. You are so cruel. How can I live without you?"
Seeing his mother crying, Peterson didn't show much sadness. He even smiled and said, "mother, I will come back to see you again. It's really, this is the first time, and there will be many times in the future. So you don't have to be so sad. I have to go to work tomorrow, really, so I can't stay here."
Seeing that Peterson was trying so hard to leave, Leena felt very strange. In order to keep Alina and Alina, he had promised not to come back, but now he had promised his mother more than once that he would come back in the future. It was really strange.
Mrs. Yang didn't ask them to stay any longer, so they left. The house, which was supposed to be lively, suddenly became quiet, leaving only Mrs. Yang and Yanni. Mrs. Yang could only sigh.
Peterson followed the group of people out. Leena, Rena and others were talking and laughing, and he was the only one walking behind them, with his trousers in his pockets.
Although Leena walked in front of them, she still thought of her brother behind her. After thinking for a while, she stopped and turned to Peterson when she was about to ask what happened. "Brother, why are you back again?"
"Isn't it good for me to come back? Haven't you always wanted me to come back?" Peterson smiled ambiguously. It was hard to tell whether it was a calm or sarcastic smile.
Leena kept silent for a while and said, "Since you have given mom your expectations, don't let her down too much in the future. You can come back to see her once, and you should come back more often to see her in the future."
Peterson looked around and saw that the three people in front of him were still waiting for Leena. He said, "I have something to tell you. I don't know if it's convenient for you."
"What do you mean?" Leena was confused.
"Let them go first!" Peterson pointed at the people in front of him and said in a low voice.
Leena looked back and found that Miguel and the others were still waiting for her. She then asked Peterson, "Why are you so mysterious? They can't hear you in a low voice now."
Peterson shook his head, "About Alina Liu and why I came back this time." Peterson said seriously.
Leena sensitively heard that he called Alina by his full name, instead of calling Alina intimately as before. Did something happen between him and Alina? Or did she have any conflict? After thinking for a while, she still respected Peterson's words. She turned around and shouted at Rena and others, "Rena, Spencer, wait for me at the intersection. I'll go out later."
Rena asked her what happened. Leena said, "I have something to talk with my brother."
