It seemed like Trueman wasn't looking at his phone, so he didn't reply right away after Nora sent the message.
After staring at the phone for a while, Nora tossed it aside and went to take a bath.
Cherry and Pete came together. There were identical frowns on their little faces. Cherry said with dissatisfaction, "Pete, Grandpa is introducing boyfriends to Mommy again! Sigh!"
Pete was about to comfort her and tell her that it was okay when Cherry remarked enviously, "When will my Daddy find me a bunch of young men?"
Pete: "?"
He'd thought that Cherry was worried that their parents would be separated, but as it turned out, she was just being envious of Mommy?! She was simply hopeless!
The corners of Pete's lips spasmed and he looked at the bathroom.
Then, he put down the book in his hand and slowly walked out the door.
