The next morning, Jennifer woke up early to prepare breakfast for Donald.
"Good morning, Darling."
Donald yawned and tried to embrace Jennifer, but she gave him a stern look.
"Didn't you promise Geri to go on a trip? You woke up so late. Aren't you afraid of missing the flight?" Jennifer scolded.
"Huh?"
Donald looked at Jennifer with a bewildered expression. "I just casually agreed. She didn't even tell me it's today."
"Didn't I mention it?"
Holding a pot, Geraldine suddenly appeared from behind, startling Donald.
She innocently said, "Maybe I was too tired last night and forgot to tell you."
Pretending to check her watch, Geraldine added, "It's fine. Our flight is at noon. After breakfast, we still have plenty of time."
No wonder he felt manipulated last night. It turned out Geraldine had this in mind.
In front of Jennifer, Donald knew he could only go along with the plans.
So, he put up with Geraldine's tricks for now. He planned to settle the score on the plane.
"What about Hannah? Why hasn't she come out for breakfast?" Donald asked.
Jennifer served a bowl of oatmeal porridge to Donald and replied, "It seems something happened at the East Coast research institute, so they asked Hannah to help. Hannah's work shouldn't be dangerous, right?"
The East Coast?
Donald's brow furrowed.
