"I will show Keira her room," Zach's mother said after the wonderful lunch.
"I'm sure she's a bit tired and would like to rest a little," added Zach's mother.
Keira looked at Zach who smiled at her and said, "I'll check on you later. I have something to discuss with Grandpa about the ranch."
Keira nodded and quietly followed Zach's mom. For the first time in her life, she did not know what to do. She couldn't even open up simple conservation.
She had already praised Mrs. Lim's cooking during their lunch. And they had already talked about her meeting Lyra in the City.
'Shall I say that the house is nice?' she mused but chose not to talk at all because of the awkward silence.
As they walked up the stairs, Zach's mother talked, "Did Zach tell you that our family came from nothing. But because of Zach's hard work and sacrifices, we've come this far. This villa, the ranch… It's all Zach's sweat and blood."
