"I have two updates for you."
Oscar prepared himself to listen.
"Maybe later Julia will tell you in person. But today, Julia had told me that she would return to this town the day after tomorrow. She wants to meet and greet your family. She also managed to persuade her father to come home with her and meet you."
Oscar felt neither joy nor disappointment. He's not Harry. He was also not a member of Theodore's family. So there was no real reason for him to feel something. But he had to keep a straight face to hide the emptiness of his heart and mind.
"That sounds good. I'm sure grandma and the rest of the family will be happy to hear that."
"But you don't look happy enough?"
"..."
Oscar didn't answer. Cleo concluded for herself the reason.
