The atmosphere was a little dull. Simon gave them an indifferent look and got up from the sofa.
"We don't have to have dinner together today, lest we are all unhappy. As for..." Simon's eyes flickered with loneliness. To be honest, he didn't hate Joshua, and he didn't want to become a stranger to Hazel, but it seemed like their relationship had to end up like this.
He said in a deep voice as if he had made up his mind, "Whatever decision you've made, I don't care..."
With that, he looked disdainful and turned away.
Hazel tried to ask him to stay, but Joshua stopped her.
"Unless we choose to side with him, there's no point in saying anything," Joshua whispered.
Hazel sighed lightly. She knew, of course, that since Simon had said that, he had made up his mind to force them to make a choice. Unless they chose to side with Simon, he was unlikely to change his mind despite how she persuaded him.
