Joan nodded curiously.
“I can’t simply teach you for free. If you want to know its meaning, then you need to pay me fees!” Amanda said as she stretched out her hand.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you having breakfast?” Andrew leaned against the door frame watching them.
Amanda quickly retracted her hand and glared at him, “Why did you sneak up on us?”
“So that I can see your smitten looks!” Andrew intentionally teased her.
All she did was hugging Joan. How could that be considered as she being smitten?
Andrew didn’t know why. When he heard the word “child”, he was actually eager to find Evelyn.
Originally, he wanted to find her after he was done, but he had not come back for a long time and he had encountered Kevin’s death. Maxina was not in good health now. If he goes out again because of personal issue and doesn’t accompany his family at this time, he would look too selfish.
Joshua was in charge of everything at home in the first place. He was supposed to conduct his filial duty for his parents, but he was not around them. As the eldest son, he felt ashamed.
Maxina brought him up. Now she was in poor health, and she might die one day. He can’t be so selfish to leave now.
With the consent of her family, Amanda had agreed to go back to Thailand with Joan. However, just before getting on the plane, she received a phone call.
Casimir called.
“My mom is ill. Maybe she doesn’t have much time. Before she dies, I want him to come over.”
Amanda stood in the airport hall, holding the phone and was stunned. “Your mother, she…”
“She has advanced cancer and is under treatment, but the result is not good. The doctor issued an ultimatum. I know he has his own life, I don’t want to disturb him. I just want him to know…my existence.”
Amanda said, “I get it. Send me the address and I’ll go with him.”
“Will he come with you?”
“I’ll come out with something to let him go.”
“Good.”
The two ended the call and Casimir sent her an address.
“Flight D360 to Bangkok is about to take off. Please get ready for boarding.”
“Let’s go,” said Joan.
Amanda looked at him with regret. “I may not be able to go back to Thailand with you. I have something urgent to deal with.”
Joan looked at her for several seconds and finally said, “OK, I’ll take you back.”
In fact, he was worried that Amanda would change her mind at this time, regret going back to Thailand with him.
But he didn’t ask.
Even if she repented, he wouldn’t resent her.
After all, she had the right to choose.
“No, thanks, I’ll accompany you to the departure gate. When I finish my work, I’ll find you.” Amanda smiled.
Joan couldn’t conceal the joy on his face. “Really? Will you come to me?”
“Of course, I’ve promised you,” she explained. “There’s a friend of mine, his mother is very ill. I have to go to see her, that’s why I have to postpone it, please don’t overthink it.”
Joan hugged her. “I’ll wait for you.”
“All right, hurry up and get on the plane.”
Amanda watched him walk past the boarding gate. Joan turned back and waved at her.
She waved back at him too.
Joan disappeared. She took out her mobile phone and made a phone call as she walked out.
But Abbott didn’t pick up the call.
She had to go home and ask Cormac for help.
“What are you talking about?” Armand heard Amanda’s words and asked incredulously, “Abbott has an illegitimate son?”
Cormac was not surprised and he gave her a number.
Abbott had two mobile phone numbers.
It was just that only a few people knew about the other phone number.
The call was picked up when Amanda dialled it.
“Abbott…” she went aside to talk on the phone.
Here, Armand became exhilarated for gossips. “Is it true that Abbott has an illegitimate child? Why didn’t I know about that at all?”
Cormac glimpsed at him and said, “There are way many things you don’t know.”
“…”
“I’m not curious about the illegitimate child though, I’m curious about who the child’s mother is.” Armand sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that Abbott was that reckless when he was young that he even has an illegitimate child.”
Cormac didn’t care about Armand who was into gossip. He said a few words to his daughter and went back to the house.
Amanda contacted Abbott and immediately bought a flight ticket.
Sitting on the plane, Abbott had no idea what had happened yet.
“Amanda, where are you taking me in such a hurry?”
Amanda was looking down at the address Casimir sent her on the mobile phone. Without looking up, she said, “You’ll know when you get there.”
“How mysterious.” Abbott leaned back and asked blandly, “Then tell me whether it’s something good or bad.”
Amanda thought. “It’s something good!But not quite, it’s something bad too…”
“So is it a good thing or a bad thing? Tell me clearly.” Abbott sat up straight. “Why are you stammering?”
