Tia and Ian went to their hotel room and took a rest for a while before they head onto Brother Andy's house.
She had called her Brother Andy earlier and informed him that she's visiting him together with a 'friend'.
Few minutes later they have arrived at her old place.
The old singles bay was now a high rise condominium but still prioritise single parent renters.
That was Grandma Lin's will. She was also a single parent who had struggle finding a place to live during her time.
And before she passed away, she had asked her son Andy to continue accepting single parents and even provide a day care at the ground floor so they can leave their kids while they work.
Andy Lin resides at the penthouse of the condo together with his japanese wife Erina and his twin baby girls.
Tia was amazed to see how much the place where she grew up had changed.
She moved out before the reconstruction had started and haven't gotten the time to visit her brother Andy.
She only calls him during holidays and birthdays to greet him.
The only time that she went back to D City was when Grandma Lin passed.
She was busy helping with the funeral arrangements and stayed at a hotel and haven't had the time to explore and tour D City.
After that, she had no idea what happened while she was away.
When they reached the top floor, Tia excitedly rang the doorbell, and a beautiful japanese girl opened the door for them.
"Hello, my husband is expecting you. Please come in."
The woman sweetly greeted them. Tia looked at the japanese girl full of admiration.
She had known that her Brother Andy is a fan of Japanese anime and movies but it never cross her mind that he would actually end up marrying a beautiful japanese girl.
Tia and Ian walked in and she was surprised by what she saw.
The interior looked like a legit ancestral japanese house.
The flooring were made of tatami and the doors and windows are all made of shoji (¹).
Erina lead them to a room where her husband was quietly sitting and sipping his tea.
Upon seeing Tia and Ian his face immediately lighten up and he gave them an amiable smile.
Tia ran towards her brother Andy and gave her a hug.
"Brother Andy I miss you so much!"
She exclaimed. Andy patted her back then scolded her.
"You brat I thought you had totally forgotten about me!"
He laughingly said. Then his eyes fell on Ian who was stiffly standing at the side.
He immediately let go of Tia sensing the brewing jealousy in Ian's eyes.
"Ahem, Tian-Tian I'll introduce you to my wife.
Erina this is my LITTLE SISTER Tia."
Andy said. He emphasized the words 'Little Sister' for Ian to hear so he won't misunderstand and stop brooding.
