"Pajamas?" Aimee's was confused when she heard Violet's words.
How can it be pajamas?
"Violet, are you ......"
Before Aimee could finish her words, she was interrupted by Stanley in a deep voice, "Alright, it's dinner time, eat, there's no need to say something that's unnecessary."
With those words, he looked even more coldly towards Aimee.
Aimee cowered in fear at the contact with his eyes and kept her mouth shut.
Well, she sort of saw it.
Mr. Murphy planned to use it at night.
So now, he didn’t want her to continue the conversation, lest he be exposed.
In order to conceal Violet, Mr. Murphy actually made up a lie.
Thinking that, Aimee glanced towards Stanley with contempt.
Stanley glared back, and she immediately put her head down again in a sheepish manner.
Violet looked at her, then at her husband beside her, then at George who was smiling.
The three words always feel odd.
It's possible that Aimee sent something other than pajamas, is it?
Why else would Aimee be so surprised?
If that was really the case, then Stanley was lying to her.
Thinking about this, Violet grunted at Stanley.
Stanley raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Violet ignored him and withdrew her gaze after giving him a blank look.
This made Stanley even more confused.
But he was, after all, a wise man and quickly thought through what was going on and let out a bitter laugh.
She knew he was lying to her.
It was all the work of Aimee, who talked too much.
Stanley gave Aimee another cool look, which made Aimee's scalp tingle while she was still confused.
What's the situation?
Why is Mr. Murphy looking at her like that again?
She doesn't seem to be doing anything now, does she?
Aimee thought with some uncertainty.
George loosened the arms that were looped together and sat up straight again to pick up his chopsticks and continue eating.
These guys were quite interesting.
The meal came to an end with a few people each having their own thoughts.
Aimee was afraid of Stanley, so after eating, she excused herself and went to her room, not even to see Jimmy.
Naturally, George also went to his room to hide in the quiet.
Only Violet and Stanley were left in the living room.
Violet looked at him, "Say it, what exactly did Aimee give me, it's not pajamas, is it?"
Stanley's eyes wandered sheepishly elsewhere and he did not reply.
But with this look, he had made it very clear that he was just lying, and what Aimee had prepared was indeed not pajamas.
"You actually lied to me!" Violet puffed up her face in anger and her eyes were red.
When Stanley saw her like this, his heart softened, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, I'll show you exactly what it is now, okay?"
With that, he took her hand.
Anyway, it's now evening and the meal has been eaten, so it's time to do a little after-dinner exercise.
After a brilliant flash in his eyes, Stanley pulled Violet towards the stairs.
Violet happened to want to know what Aimee had given her, so she followed him obediently, not noticing his little thought.
