Upon seeing Joey Thompson, Ava White, who had just been short of breath, instantly straightened up.
Her eyes reddened, and she rushed directly in front of Joey, then turned back and pointed at Eve Thompson, complaining, "Joey, she's bullying Mom!"
That coquettish tone... caused Eve to get goosebumps.
Ava had never acted like this in front of Jonas Thompson, had she?
As she thought this, she saw Jonas rush to Joey's side, too, his old face full of smiles, staring at Joey with beaming eyes.
He didn't express himself as directly as Ava, but he scanned Joey from head to toe with his eyes before speaking, "You've lost weight!"
Joey rubbed his eyes, gently patted Ava's shoulder first.
Ava instantly calmed down, clearly showing that Joey had considerable authority in front of her.
Only then did Joey look at Jonas, and soon laughed, "I'm not used to Western food abroad!"
Upon hearing this, Jonas became anxious, "Then go eat Chinese food!"
