Katelyn had never thought about it in her life.
Micah Lloyd, the son of the Lloyd family, who was famous in Suham, asked her to borrow money.
And, for only twenty dollar...
She always felt something odd, but she still rummaged through the designer purse.
However, she couldn't find a twenty dollar bill in her purse, but a hundred dollar.
She froze and the atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds.
With Micah's gaze, she could only smile awkwardly, "Mr. Micah, please wait a moment."
She got up and went to the housekeeper. Finally, she got the twenty dollar from the housekeeper and handed it to him.
Micah took it and put it in his pants pocket and said politely, "Thanks a lot."
As expected, he borrowed the money and went out the door without stopping for a moment.
He arrived at the Jana Grand Hotel as fast as he could shortly after Abigail left.
But he stood in the doorway and did not enter.
Abigail was inside having lunch with her fiancé. In what role should he take to go in to her?
In which way that it would not awkward but reasonable to drive her fiancé away and talk to Abigail alone?
After pondering for a while, he felt he was still not good at love and stuff.
So he decided to message Keith again and ask for advice.
But, he touched his empty pockets, and suddenly remembered that, in order to do sad-fishing, his phone and wallet were all left in the hotel room
There was even no way to get help so he could only think of his own way.

The Callahan family in Suham.
At lunchtime, the Callahan family was all seated by the table.
Because Shane was back, the meal was extra sophisticated.
Melissa had little interest in this and was all eyes on the door.
Shane had said that her mother would be coming for lunch today and she was eager to meet her.
The anticipation inside her heart was growing. She clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, with her fingers fiddling restlessly.
Shane noticed her nervousness and was about to say something when an elegant woman appeared in the dining room doorway.
Everyone looked over.
But many of them lowered their heads the moment they saw who it was.
Melissa was the most excited one. She stood up and tried to look at the woman who was walking toward them elegantly.
Her mom, named Caitlin Combs, was the old Mr. Callahan's second wife.
His first wife gave birth to the eldest son of the Callahan family and died soon afterwards due to illness.
The old Mr. Callahan married her after his first wife died.
Over the years, she gave birth to many kids.
She gave birth to Shane Callahan, the second son of the family; Timothy Callahan, the third; Esther Callahan aka Melissa, the fifth; and Rebecca, the youngest daughter.
And after so many years of childbirth, she still kept her body shape and was elegant and noble.
Melissa's eyes were red and she stared earnestly at Caitlin.
Caitlin's eyebrows and eyes really looked like hers. Melissa was the most resembled one of all her siblings.
She couldn't hide her excitement inside, and when she saw Caitlin coming this way, she offered her hand.
But Caitlin didn't even look at her, brushing right past her and walking toward Shane.
She asked with slightly displeased voice, "Why did you have to let me be here? It's delaying my rituals."
Shane smiled faintly and said in a modest and gentle way, "Mom, my sister is back. She misses you so much."
