While the two adults were chatting animatedly, Nina’s eyes were on the excavator on screen, but her ears were perked up, eavesdropping on their conversation.
She was listening very intently.
To stop Erik from making a fool of himself, Daniel ever video-called Lucas.
Lucas, hearing Erik wanted to go find Daisy, turned livid
He said, “I drank with you for two damn days! You said you’d seen the light and were moving on! My hangover hasn’t even worn off yet, and you’re already backsliding? Listen up. If you dare go back, I’ll wring your neck myself!”
Lucas had a low alcohol tolerance.
After two days of drinking, his stomach was acting up, and he was actually at the hospital getting it checked.
Seeing how furious his two best friends were, Erik didn’t dare say another word.
After stewing for a bit, he dropped the idea of finding Daisy and instead directed all his anger at Lester.
“It’s all Lester’s fault. He’s the one who’s not acting like a decent person. If it weren’t for him, Daisy wouldn’t have done this to me. We might have been happily in love by now,” Erik complained bitterly about Lester.
Daniel rolled his eyes, for once thinking that Lester wasn’t in the wrong here.
While Daniel and Erik talked, they checked on Nina occasionally.
Nina sat with her back to them, behaving well and watching TV.
Daniel smiled. Pretty good.
Time passed unnoticed.
Outside the room, William looked at Daniel’s closed door, feeling rather surprised.
These two are actually pretty good with kids.
Nina hadn’t made a fuss at all while with them.
He was secretly pleased they finally had a redeeming quality. Little did he know, they had just put on a cartoon and weren’t really “watching” her at all.
Nina’s good behavior wasn’t because of the cartoon.
She was captivated by the adults’ conversation.
And she was learning their swear words, one sentence a time.
Nina was having a great time learning them, while Amea was out on their date, she felt her eyelid twitching.

“Benjamin, that’s strange. My eye is twitching. Maybe I didn’t sleep well?” she said.
Benjamin leaned closer, looking into Amelia’s beautiful eyes.

Their gazes met, and a few seconds later, Benjamin’s lip found hers for what felt like the umpteenth time that evening.
