Just as John was about to get up from his seat, Louis stopped him and stated, “It’s not safe to make your way back in the middle of the night. Why don’t you spend the night here? The weekend is just around the corner. Let the little girl keep me company for the next two days. John, go get them to get the room ready.”
John stood up from his seat and replied, “Alright!”
At this moment, Emma showed up at the stairs and craned over, announcing in a courteous manner, “The room is ready! Scarlett, bring Summer up. Hurry.”
I was utterly dumbfounded and felt slightly awkward because Emmas had gotten the room ready a minute after the instruction was delivered.
Is she a seer or something? Why does it feels like they’re trying to get me to stay for the weekend?
Knowing Ashton wouldn’t be home, I decided to go along with their suggestion and asked John to bring my suitcases upstairs while I carried Summer up with me.
Once I tucked Summer in, I returned to the living room. I was about to drop Ashton a text message, but John stopped me. “Are you trying to text Ashton? That won’t be necessary. I already told him I would be bringing both of you over here with me.”
Although he seemed to be telling the truth, I was doubtful. Thus, I asked, “Are you sure?”
“Of course! Why would I lie?” John scoffed with a straight face, convincing me it was the truth.
Out of the blue, the notification of my phone running out of battery popped up. Consequently, John snatched my phone away from me and offered, “I’ll return it to you once it’s fully charged in the morning.”
