Bonnie turned her head and looked at him, “What are you doing?”
Joshua did not say anything, tugged at the hem of her pyjamas, and did not let go of it. He did not say what he wanted, and Bonnie thought he acted like a spoiled child.
Bonnie crouched down and shook her hem, “Stop it.”
“Stay with me for a while,” Joshua raised his head and smiled. He was afraid she did not agree to stay with him, so he tugged at her hem again. He looked like a child who did not grow up.
Bonnie felt helpless and amused and said, “Alright.”
She put down the pillow and laid on the bed again. Joshua put his arms around her and talked to her about his childhood, and then they fell asleep.
When Joshua woke up, he was alone in the room and did not know when Bonnie left.
He got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs.
Everybody was already up.
Amanda and Bonnie were in the kitchen to prepare breakfast while Armand was watering flowers on the balcony.
“Where's everyone? Where did they all go?” Joshua asked while walked to downstairs.
Armand turned his head to look at him, “You've got up. Bonnie and Amanda are in the kitchen.”
“I'm asking about my dad and mom.”
“Dolores and Theresa went for a walk. The two should have something to discuss. As for Matthew, he went out early in the morning, and I'm not sure what's his purpose,” Armand put down the watering can and walked over to him, “When are you going to pick up your parents-in-law?”
Joshua poured a glass of water, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, “There's still some time for it. I've phone contacted them, and they said they'll come over themselves and don't need us to pick them up. They said I'm just taking the trouble if I do that.”
Armand sat on the sofa and looked at him, “You parents-in-law are very good to you.”
Then he lamented, “It will be better if your brother could also come back home.”
“I've called Noah, and he said it was temporarily unable to contact Andrew, but he always got in contacted with him.”
Noah and Dolores were cousins, so the younger generation called him uncle Noah.
“Hey, you're the only child of the three children who did not make your parents worry,” Armand said.
Amanda had just experienced such a miserable matter while Andrew's job was peculiar and dangerous.
Dolores wanted to pray for the safety of her children, so she set up a shrine in Thailand. She would pray in the morning and evening.
If people believed, God was there. Otherwise, God was not. Dolores wanted to take comfort from praying.
“Armand, what did you just say?” Amanda walked out of the kitchen.
Her eyes were still a little red. Everyone knew she must have cried, but nobody asked her about that.
