บท 36: The Tricksters Evans

On returning home, Matthew had to go to his parents to leave some documents. Besides, he promised them that he would bring Jo, at least for tea and some cake.

He felt really bad about putting any pressure on his best friend, but in this case for the first time in his life, his parents were blackmailing him. They wanted to know about the bet.

“Jo, do you mind if we stop for five minutes somewhere?” He asked while driving. In that moment, he felt like the greatest criminal who was betraying his best friend.

“Do what you have to do. Don’t worry about my presence.”

“I need to go to my parents. I asked them for help in reviewing some documents. With their experience, it won’t take them long. It would save me a few weeks of drilling in the stuff I have no idea about.”

“No problem.” Jo said, feeling that it was kind of Matthew’s trick, but decided to pretend that she wasn't aware of anything. She missed the time she spent with his family.
