Joshua knew his intentions and intentionally joked, “How could we just eat noodles with wine? You should make some more dishes to show your hospitality.”
“You should be contented with these noodles.” Andrew topped up his wine glass.
He looked at the wine glass filled to the brim and laughed, “Bro, aren’t you afraid that I’ll get you drunk?”
Dolores and Bonnie left the dining table after they were done.
“Mom, I’ll cook some dishes for them to go with the wine,” Bonnie said.
“Okay.” Dolores placed the dirty dishes in the basin and asked, “How long haven’t they met?” She had not seen Andrew for almost two years.
Bonnie pondered for a while but could not be sure, “It must be when we went to see you. It has been almost two years.”
Dolores sighed within her. She really did not want her son to be doing such a dangerous job and he was always not at home. Then she thought that he had grown up and had his interests and career. She could not restrain him. Even if she continued to worry for him, she had never asked him to come back. She just felt that she had not taken good care of him. He left the home when he was rather young and soon had a career. Now he was also married.
“Bonnie, has Joshua ever said that he was frustrated with work?” Dolores asked as she was washing the dishes.
“No, he’s young and is energetic,” Bonnie said as she cooked some pepper beef cubes.
“You are with him now and should take good care of him. He left us when he was very young.” Dolores said.
Bonnie understood Dolores’s concerns and laughed, “Rest assured, mom, I will take good care of him. You had been very good to him and gave him a lot during our wedding.” Bonnie continued, “You should rejoice. A lot of siblings would bicker due to money. Just look at them.”
