When they mention it, the atmosphere was silent. Originally, it was a good thing that Andrew, who seldom came home, came back. However, Kevin passed away. It wasn’t a good thing since one of their family had passed away.”Are Dad and Mom quite upset?” asked Andrew.”The old will always have such a day. Dad and Mom are quite OK. They are sad but they also know it’s a natural rule, which is inviolable,” Joshua answered. Out of the airport, Joshua helped Andrew walk to his car. There was another car with a driver. He turned to look at Noah. “Uncle Noah, Aunt Chloe, please sit in this car.””Okay.” Noah looked as if nothing had happened. However, Chloe couldn’t be so calm as him. With a long face, she handed over a bag, in which there were herbs and a prescription for Andrew.”This is Andrew’s medicine,” she said,w??.???????(o)??.???Joshua took it over. He noticed that Chloe looked upset. With a smile, he asked, “Aunt Chloe, what happened?””She’s mad at me. Just ignore her. Let’s go. We’ll follow your car.” Noah held Chloe in his arms. Chloe was still angry with him so she broke free from his grip, sitting in the car alone. All people at the scene could tell that she was quite angry.w??.N???l?H???.Co?Joshua smiled and asked, “Uncle Noah, have you pissed off her?”Noah didn’t want to lose his dignity in front of the juniors, so he smiled and answered, “Nothing serious. She’s in her menopause.”Joshua was speechless.”Hurry and go! Don’t waste time here.” Noah got in the car. Joshua knew that they were fighting and Noah wasn’t willing to let others know. He didn’t ask anything more. Instead, he opened the door to help Andrew sit in.”Joshua, I can sit with Andrew on the backseat.” Bonnie was afraid that Andrew was blind now and might have trouble, so she wanted to take care of him. Joshua nodded in agreement. Reaching out to rub her hair, he said, “This is my good girl.””Fuck off!” Bonnie glared at him. “You are only one year older. Think you are quite old huh? You’re always a kid in front of Andrew.”Joshua wasn’t angry at all. He laughed out. “Andrew is truly much older than me, but he can’t have a baby earlier than I will. His children are destined to be juniors to mine.”Bonnie was speechless. She truly wanted to kick Joshua. He could speak anything in public without care.”What are you looking at? I’m telling the truth. Andrew even doesn’t have a girlfriend. I’ve got married. How could he catch up with me?” Joshua had a cheeky smile. “Am I right, Andrew?”Andrew knew him well. He said cooperatively, “Yes.””Look. Andrew has admitted it.” Joshua started the engine and took a look back. “Andrew, shall we have a bet?””On what?”Joshua cleared his throat and said, “Just between us, the one who has a child later than the other will take over the family business. What do you think?”Abbott would retire soon or later, so their family business needed to be managed. Joshua had been working in the company after graduating from college. Until now, he hadn’t had any break yet. Joshua was sure that he would have a child earlier than Andrew would. Hence, he wanted to make a bet with his older brother, who hadn’t got a girlfriend yet. Andrew smiled. “Are you so confident to win against me?”Joshua was full of confidence. “Of course.””Okay. I’ll take the bet. If you won, you could leave all the heavy jobs to me. You can travel around the world with Bonnie, and I’ll make money for you. On the contrary, if I won, you must take over all the family businesses and make money for me to spend.””No problem.” Joshua was quite confident. “You can’t go back to your word in the end.””A gentleman’s word is irretrievable,” said Andrew.”Have you heard it, Bonnie? You must work hard,” Joshua looked back at Bonnie. Bonnie was silent. She was so pissed by Joshua. If they wanted to talk about such a subject, they should avoid her. She felt so embarrassed when listening to them. She inwardly cursed Joshua.

She glared at him fiercely. Joshua laughed, “Stop glaring at me. Mind your public image as a gentlewoman.”???.??????(h)???.???Bonnie was speechless. Andrew laughed as well, feeling that they got along very well, which was a good thing. After a while, the car stopped. The short happy atmosphere was gone. Instead, there was a heavy and sad atmosphere. The funeral would be held tomorrow, and the mourning hall was being decorated. There were a lot of people at the scene. Although the Nelson family hired a professional company to deal with this matter and they didn’t have to do anything, there must be someone making a decision. The company had a lot of details to confirm with the host. Kevin’s closest family was Matthew, so Matthew was dealing with his funeral.”Dad and Mom are both here.” Joshua parked the car steadily. Then he walked to the back to open the rear door. Bonnie got off first. Then Joshua and she helped Andrew get down. The decoration of the mourning hall had already been finished. Matthew was wearing a pure black suit with mourning on his right arm. He was talking to someone decorating the hall. Joshua helped Andrew walk over. He called from afar, “Dad!”Matthew looked back. When he saw Andrew, his eyes darkened. He said to the man, “Please go back to your work first. Just do as I told you just now.””Okay, Mr. Nelson.”Matthew walked over. Andrew released Joshua’s hand and stood upright. “I’m back, Dad.”Probably it was because Matthew was old. If such a thing happened when Matthew was still young, he would be quite calm. However, right now, his face was fulfilled happiness. He pressed Andrew’s shoulder. “Good you’re back.”Noah has called him and told him about Andrew’s status. Hence, he wasn’t surprised when seeing that his son was blind.”Let’s go in.””Do you need any help here?” Joshua asked.”Nope, thanks.” Then Matthew asked them to go to see Dolores. They went to the lounge behind the mourning hall. Dolores had been accompanying and comforting Jessica all the time. Jessica and Kevin got married when they were old. They supported each other and spent several years together. Now Kevin had passed away, which was a heavy blow to Jessica. Knock. Knock–Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door of the lounge. Dolores stood up, only to find that Joshua was at the door. She poked out but failed to see Andrew. With a frown, she asked, “Haven’t you gone to pick up ?W?.???????o??.?(o)?Andrew? Where is he?”Joshua blinked. “I didn’t see him.”Dolores frowned deeply. “How come?””Joshua, can’t you be normal?” Bonnie came over while helping Andrew up. Joshua cast a glance at her. “I just wanted to give Mom a surprise. You know how much she misses her oldest son.”Dolores patted Joshua on his back. “How old are you now? So naughty!””I’m mature enough.” Joshua bypassed her and walked in. “Hi, Grandma.”Jessica’s hair was completely white. She had wrinkles on her face and her eyes had become cloudy. She was quite skinny. Jessica reached out to him. “Where is Andrew?””Outside the door.”Outside the door, Dolores walked to Andrew. She was prepared as Matthew had told her that Andrew’s eyes were injured in his mission. He couldn’t see anything for the time being. Now, she saw her son in person, but he couldn’t see her. Dolores felt quite upset.”Andrew, since your childhood, you always worried me,” she whispered.
