A man was accompanying her.
He had seen this man before, living in a mansion not far from his parents.
He was so puzzled at the moment.
‘Why would they be together?’
“Did you find her?” Bonnie was still looking around, tugging at his sleeve with her hand.
Joshua narrowed his eyes, “Yes.”
“Where…” Before she could finish her words, she saw two people coming this way. She and Joshua had previously gone to Thailand to see Dolores and Matthew and seemingly had seen the man beside Amanda.
“Isn’t than man your parents’ neighbour in Thailand? How come he’s with your sister?” Bonnie frowned slightly and guessed, “Could it be that your sister and him…”
“Impossible!” Joshua interrupted Bonnie before she could finish her words.
After all, Amanda was hurt in a relationship, and how could she start a new relationship so soon?
Bonnie looked up at him. She didn’t mean anything else but just said out what she thought of it.
Joshua looked at her. He didn’t mean to be mean to her either. He just didn’t like this speculation of hers, “I didn’t mean it.”
“I know.” Bonnie held his arm.
When Amanda saw them, she paused for a moment before walking over quickly, “Jos, Bonnie.”
Initially, Joshua wanted to hug her, but he froze in place when she called him.
Bonnie walked over to hug her and said, “You’ve finally come back.”
Amanda’s eyes turned red suddenly, sniffling and controlling her feelings, “You are my family, of course, I have to come back.”
“We missed you and we're worried about you, We’re all happy to see you well now.”
“Well, this is not the place to talk.” Joshua interrupted them, casting his eyes on Joan who was holding the luggage, “Sis, aren’t you going to introduce him to us?”
He knew Joan. However, he wanted to see why Joan was with Amanda at the moment.
It dawned on Amanda that Joan had come along with her too.
Amanda didn’t hide from him and said, “Stanford went over there to look for me. So I asked Joan to pretend my boyfriend for a while to get rid of his pestering. And we came back here together to convince him.”
“Oh.” Joshua smiled and greeted Joan, “Welcome back.”
Joan nodded, “I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations.”
“Let’s go then.” Joshua took the suitcase from Joan, “I’ll take it.”
Joan gave it to him.
In the car, Joshua asked Bonnie to book a hotel for Joan.
Hearing this, Joan said, “No need. I’ve already booked it.”
“You’ve helped my sister and so you’re my friend and my guest too. We should be the ones to entertain you. I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow then.” Joshua said.
“Your sister and I are friends. No problem.”
