That day, Amelia had left work early with plans to have a nice dinner at home with the old man and the child.
But as she entered, she found an unexpected guest at the dinner table.
She walked over, her face betraying little emotion, with only a faint smile, "Why are you here?"
Daniel Cooper was pouring tea for Albert Foster when he heard her and turned to look at her with a smile, "I've been busy lately, but today I finally got some free time, so I thought I'd come over to have dinner with dad and Carl."
Amelia muttered softly, "Quite the coincidence, your 'free time'."
Daniel thought she was still angry about last night, but seeing that her complexion had improved a lot after a good night's sleep, he felt it was worth getting the cold shoulder from her. Thus, he didn't mind the small display of temper she was showing on her face, and his heart still ached at the sight of her thin little face.
