"Good evening mum, dad," Alfred greeted as he went to hug Mrs Avans whose sweet smile was so inviting. It was as if seeing her son-in-law made her forget the earlier drama.
The now slightly coolheaded Mr Avans responded to Alfred's greetings. He was surprised to see Kai standing beside him. Earlier he was too angry to see that Kai was there.
"Good evening Uncle and Aunt," Kai remarked to the surprise of the angry Jasmine who wasn't aware that Kai was in the company of her sister and brother-in-law. Jasmine surprised expression vanished just like it came.
"You are welcome to our home," Mrs Avans replied with smiles on her face.
"Jasmine, let's go put ice on your face so it won't swell," Elizabeth said in low tones as she stares at Jasmine's reddened cheeks.
"Getting rid of the swell won't get rid of the pain or the burning anger inside of me so why should I bother?" Jasmine said before she walked towards the stairs.
