"I'm just very curious about how Miss Clinton teaches children," said Professor Campion, who married his wife straight out of the college campus. Although the initial passion was no longer there, their relationship remained strong.
They came to this variety show to broaden their children's horizons. Upon seeing how cute Ben and Anna were, they became interested in asking about them.
Neil's gaze fell on Joe, who was close to Charlotte. His eyes darkened, "I heard Mr. Smith is deeply enamored with Miss Clinton, very possessive, naturally prone to jealousy."
Both he and Professor Campion are men, so to some extent, they understand Joe's feelings. They exchanged glances and smiled.
On the other side, Ben and Anna were also very curious about Dennis, who was acting shy and had his head lowered.
Though they had many friends, most were outgoing social butterflies. A shy kid like Dennis was indeed rare.
Anna looked at Dennis' flushed face and exclaimed, "Why is your face so red?"
Dennis was already shy. Now, both Ben and Anna focused on him, and he almost broke into tears, "I..."
Seeing him stammering, Anna simply took his hand, "Never mind; let's go pick corn."
Today's task was to pick twenty ears of corn in the field. Whoever finished first would get to choose where they stayed for the night.
Ben and Anna had already stayed in a country villa and a thatched cottage, and now they were set on choosing the log cabin to stay in.
The reason they gave left Charlotte both amused and puzzled. Since they were already here, why not try staying in each type of accommodation?
It was hard to deny that Ben and Anna's rationale is quite valid, leaving neither Charlotte nor Joe able to refuse.
