But as he grew up, he became as strong as a lion and very brave. Following Mateo in our family was the right choice.
Grandma talked about Mateo's mother and how she resembled the children from Gloria's family when she was young, very beautiful.
"Then where is Mateo's dad?" Clara had never heard Grandma mention him.
As soon as Mateo's dad was mentioned, Grandma fell silent and gave a cold snort. "I won't talk about him!" Grandma suddenly started coughing, waved her hand, and said, "I'm tired, it's time for bed."
Grandma's reaction indicated that there was something there. Clara really didn't understand Mateo. She didn't know if he had come back.
Grandma soon fell asleep. Clara watched the old lady sleeping, then got up and went back home. She thought Mateo might have returned. Would he be worried if he didn't see her?
