"I saw that woman's son a couple of years ago; he seemed silly and impolite. If he moves in, Nina will definitely feel uncomfortable. You always want to be the good person!"
Jeremy rarely spoke harshly to me, so I was a bit taken aback and said, "I just feel sorry for them being a single mother and son; why are you being so harsh?"
My mother-in-law then criticized Jeremy. "Ava has a good heart; she's just trying to help. If it doesn't work out, she can find another job and leave. Why are you so upset? I see you're just itching for trouble."
Jeremy came back to himself, adopting his usual warm and calm demeanor. "Hey, babe, I was too harsh. You're kind-hearted, so let's follow your arrangement on this, okay?"
When I first saw Emma, she appeared to be the most ordinary person, with dark, rough skin and a small frame.
Her weathered face still showed signs of past beauty.
As soon as we met, she held my hand tightly, tearful with gratitude.
"Ava, if it weren't for you, James and I would probably be homeless now."
However, her son, James, wasn't very likable.
He had a round, puffy face, wide-set triangular eyes, a flat nose, and a dull gaze.
