Her flight touched down at noon, and in the airport, Hannah and Lydia were there to wee her.
At the sight of Hannah, Grace lunged into her arms, gazing up with those sparkling eyes.
“Missed me, Hannah?”
Hannah yfully tousled her hair and said, “You still act like a kid.
”
“You only have your eye on Hannah.
What am I to you, huh? I am the one who booked a restaurant for us today!” Lydia teased.
Grace sprang out of Hannah’s embrace,tching onto Lydia’s arm.
“Lydia, I missed you too! I’m starving! Let’s go eat!”
“Okay, then.
” Lydia hoisted the suitcase, and the three of them strolled towards the car.
“Let’s go get something to eat!”
No sooner had they arrived at the restaurant than Lydia received a call from Jaylin.
“You two go ahead.
I need to take a call, it’s my dad.
”
“Sure.
”
The two women settled at their table while Lydia stepped outside.
Grace leaned forward and propped her chin on her hand.
“Hannah, why does it seem like you’re even prettier than thest time I saw you?”
Hannah grinned and pinched the girl’s cheek.
“Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other in a month.
And there goes your honeyed tongue again!”
Grace chuckled and leaned even closer.
“Well, I have something else I wanted to ask, actually…”
“What is it?”
“It’s about Bryson.
I’ve been calling him recently, but he’s always busy.
He was always busy in the past, too, but he never used it as an excuse to avoid me.
I asked him to have a meal with me after I returned, and he just told me he had work to finish.
” Grace paused and sighed.
“Worse, still, instead of letting me stay in the Moore family home after my return, he made arrangements for me to stay at a hotel.
I have no idea what’s going on with him.
”
Hannah lowered her eyes.
She knew that it had something to do with Bryson’s illness.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
But since he had never told Grace about it all these years, Hannah decided not to tell Grace, either.
