Irene shakes her head and laughed awkwardly, "I don't have a boyfriend, Uncle and Auntie." She answered which made them all burst out in laughter.
Then Sunday came, the family gathering that happens at least once a week. Since she is the closest to Valerie but she is not around so Irene hangs out with her Aunties in the kitchen.
They are preparing a lot of food, it was a lot enough to feed an entire village. Asian Aunties typically prepares a lot of food as if they will run out of it.
Irene and the rest of the teenager girls of the family where busy placing utensils and plates on the long rectangular table when Valerie and Lucas arrived which the Aunties greeted with much joy.
"Oh Valerie, we didn't know that you would come to family day!" Valerie's mother, Fe, hugged her so tight as well as Lucas as they come inside the house.
