Atwood's heart stuttered. Why had he suddenly brought up Amanda?
Did he think of something, or did he regain his memory?
Stanford turned his head and took in Atwood's shocked expression.
Even if the information had not yet come from the people he had sent to investigate, it was clear from Atwood's behaviour that the woman who had called Amanda at the airport that day had something to do with him.
Atwood was still trying to hide him, "I, I don't know the person you're talking about. Who is she?"
Stanford glared at him, "It's time for you to rest. I’ll find someone to take your place."
Atwood was completely flustered.
"I ..."
"Don't explain." Stanford was clearly unwilling to listen and was already upset about the fact that he had lied to him.
He hated it when people arranged his life the way they wanted to.
No one could arrange his life!
Atwood didn't know how to explain it either, because he had nothing to say. He was indeed deceiving him.
He took the rubbish and walked out.
Stanford was obviously in a bad mood today and he didn't want to bother him, so he better waited for him to calm down before explaining.
He dropped the rubbish and drove away.
But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that something was wrong. Stanford had been fine before, but since Amanda had come back, Stanford had suddenly been out of sorts.
It must be because of Amanda.
Had she gone to see Stanford, thus arousing his suspicions?
There was a lot of confusion in his mind and he wanted to go to Amanda and ask her about it. But it was getting late, so he dismissed the idea of going to see Amanda and was going to see her tomorrow.
After breakfast in the morning, Amanda took Jessica out, and Joan went out with them wearing the clothes she had picked out for him.
