Today is the first day of the New Year.
Even though everyone had stayed up late for Christmas Eve, they were up early nonetheless.
Basil Jaak walked out of his room and saw no sign of Lenwood Willock and Mrs. Sutton. He couldn't help but ask Dawn Sutton, who was watching TV in the living room, "Miss Sutton, where are Uncle and Auntie?"
Dawn, without raising her head, replied, "My parents went to our old home in the countryside. We will go there later to wish them a happy new year."
"Oh!" Although he didn't hear her clearly, Basil Jaak nodded and didn't ask further, as he felt that Dawn was intentionally distancing herself from him.
Basil Jaak, recalling what Debby Sutton had told him the night before, decided not to disturb Dawn anymore.
After freshening up, Basil Jaak prepared a hearty breakfast. Dale was full of praises for it, while Debby gave him a grateful smile.
