บท 1541: Ade's existential crisis

~ Texas, the White Rock Lake ~

About three hours earlier, in the villa owned by Sarah and Aiden...

Most of the kids left the dining room after lunch, either to finish the scavenger hunt or to engage in some activities in the garden or in the playroom. They have free time until late in the afternoon, and they plan to head home to Los Angeles after 6 PM. With the time difference, they will be at the Cliffside Villa by dinnertime.

Ade is one of the kids who are still in the dining room.

"Are you alright?", Jamari asked Ade when few kids who were sitting nearby left.

Ade looked at Jamari suspiciously. "What makes you think that I am not alright?"

"Uhm… for one, you didn't say a word during the whole lunch, and second, you barely touched your food."

Ade exhaled. He knows that Jamari is right. Ade was so flustered by what Hande said and did before lunch that he mostly spaced out.
