Neil arrived at Mike's place to pick them up a few hours before lunch.
Initially, Neil had thought that he would have some alone time with his girlfriend when he came over and pick her up. However, he did not think that Edith's grandfather had suddenly changed his mind and decided to come with Edith to his parents' place.
Neil heaved a sigh, knowing that he will not have his alone time with Edith. When they arrived at his parents' place, he will have to fight for his girlfriend's attention from both his mother and niece.
Sensing that the old man was staring intently at him from the back seat, Neil could only sit up straight, behaved himself, and forget his plan to be alone with Edith.
With Mike's presence in the vehicle and without Hazel's chattering voice, the drive from Mike's place to the Mo's villas was very quiet. Fortunately, the distance was not that far, and the three of them got through the awkward silence.
Thank you for your support~
