"What time are you going home? Should I pick you up?" Matthew Xi inquired, glancing at Zoey eating opposite him while he played with his breakfast using a fork.
"I don't know." Shrugging her shoulders, Zoey sighed. "I can manage. If I didn't return tonight, that means I was forced to stay the night with the family." Zoey informed, giving him a heads up of what she was expecting that day.
"You don't seem happy." Noticing how Zoey felt gloomy upon the invitation to have a family day with the Kwan's, Matthew Xi furrowed his brows.
"That's because I'm not." In a matter-of-fact tone, Zoey raised her brows as she lightly stabbed the bun with her fork.
"They are your family, though." He argued, recalling that Zoey told him they were good people. Moreover, from his investigation, the Kwan's truly searched for Zoey and were willing to adopt her if she didn't disappear.
