Isabella and Tammy returned from Selina's house in the evening. After entering the house, Isabella walked around and said firmly, "Anna brought someone here. And, that person was a man."
Tammy was puzzled, "What? A man?"
Isabella explained, "See, there are two unwashed coffee cups on the table. There are two clean plates on the kitchen shelf, so maybe they had dinner here. "
"That only proves there was a visitor. And the visitor wasn't necessarily a man."
Isabella proudly pulled a pair of disposable slippers from the trash can in the living room and said, "Look! These are clearly not slippers for Women! These are far too large."
Tammy froze and then walked out of the bedroom. She didn't believe it, so she asked, "Would my mother bring a man home? That cannot be true!"
Isabella took a can of Coke from the fridge and said, "Why not? She's not even 30, it's perfectly normal for her to be in a relationship. She can't stop falling in love for the rest of her life just to look after us. We should encourage her to do so."
Tammy's brows furrowed, and she pouted, "I'm not going to back her up! | have a dad! He's a perfect man, and my mom still loves him."
"You're still a kid; you shouldn't be thinking about these things," Isabella coughed awkwardly and said. 409 The $100,000 Bag
Tammy was sound asleep when Anna returned from her night shift in the evening, Isabella was still in American time, so she still had the energy to play video games. She had just won a game and came out during the intermission to get a drink of water.
As she left her room, she saw Anna coming in. She greeted her, "Anna, welcome home!"
Anna was putting on her slippers. Surprised, she asked, "Why are you still awake? It's late, isn't it?"
Isabella noticed the slippers on the floor and remembered the male slippers she had discovered earlier in the evening. She poured two glasses of water and handed one to Anna, then asked, "Did you invite anyone to the house these days?"
Anna asked, "What? I've been extremely busy lately and | worked on every night shift. I'm going to sleep in until noon tomorrow, so won't be able to cook you breakfast."
Isabella nodded, her thoughts still on the slippers. She could tell Anna had avoided the question, which meant something had happened. She had the impression that Anna was really in love.
"Where is Tammy?" Anna asked as she looked around.
"She's asleep. I'm taking her to the mall tomorrow. Will you come with us?"
Anna waved her hand and said, "No, I'm sorry. I have to work tomorrow afternoon, and I won't get up before noon. Good night, I'm going to bed."
"OK, I'll go to bed after I drink my water," Isabella said, nodding.
Anna went into her bedroom, and the house fell silent again.
Isabella emptied the water from her glass into the sink before heading 409 The $100,000 Bag
to the refrigerator for a beer. She paused for a moment before squatting next to the fridge and opening the can. A cold mist rose from the can's mouth, and some beer spilled.
