“Mommy, Carmen asks you to come over and have dinner.”
Ben comes from the dining room to talk to these people.
Miya originally wants to ask Andre what the situation is.
Later, she thinks that it is wise to deal with Carmen first.
“Andre, let's go to dinner first.”
Miya pats Andre's head and says softly. Andre nods.
They sit down at the table, but the meal is quite difficult to eat.
“Well, grandma, are you going to leave tonight?”
Miya asks carefully.
Hearing this, Carmen's expression is suddenly serious, “do you want to drive me away?”
Miya shakes her head suddenly.
She says, “how can it happen? If you want to stay, I'll send someone to prepare the guest room.”
“Why do I live in a guest room?”
“What?” Miya doesn't seem to understand what Carmen means.
Carmen says, “I'll just have a room with you. Where are you sleeping?”
“Well...” Miya doesn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Ben is clever. He says, “Great grandma, you can have a room with Joey in the evening. She often misses you. You don’t come here usually and if you don't be with her, she will probably cry.”
“But she seems to have a lot of homework to do...”
Carmen is happy to hear Ben say so, but later she thinks of some problems.
Ben says, “that homework is not a problem, I'll ask Joey later.”
Carmen nods.
People around are relieved, but their appetite is not as good as usual.
After dinner, Ben goes to find Joey and says to her, “you and great-grandma sleep together tonight.”
Joey couldn't believe it.
Looking at Ben, she points to the homework and says, “what are you kidding about? The school will start tomorrow.”
Ben thinks for a while and says, “well, you let great grandmother with you in a room, and I'll help you with your homework. It's very cost-effective.”
“Are you telling the truth?”
Joey looks at her sore hand, and she is persuaded. When Ben nods, Joey doesn’t hesitate to agree with him.
“Don't worry. My answer is more accurate than Andre's.”
“Come on. Come off it.” Joey says, throwing a pile of homework to Ben.
Ben looks at the pile of homework in surprise, “What are you doing this summer vacation?”
“Why do you care so much about? Just finish it.” Joey says, and she rolls her eyes at Ben.
Because this is his choice, so he must accept it...
“OK, please treat great-grandma well.”
Ben says, carrying the homework out.
“of course. That is my great grandmother!”
Joey rolls her eyes at Ben again.
