When I arrived at the restaurant, I found that Liam was also there, sitting next to Joanna and chatting enthusiastically with her parents.
It looked like they were a complete family, and I felt like an outsider.
Maybe Joanna wanted to use this opportunity to reveal everything.
Well, that's fine!
"Andrew."
Joanna's mom, Crystal Perez saw me and immediately stood up to wave.
I walked over with a smile, but Liam still sat next to Joanna, giving me a provocative look.
Another familiar scene.
With Liam's personality, he definitely wanted to provoke me into an argument so he could play the victim.
He would say they were just friends and tell me not to target him.
Joanna would feel sorry for him, defend him, and make me apologize.
I didn't want to do things that made myself angry anymore, and I was truly tired.
So I pulled a chair and sat alone on one side.
Joanna was visibly stunned.
Her parents' expressions became a bit strange, their eyes darting between Liam and me.
Eventually, the waiter served the dishes, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Crystal served me a piece of meat and said with a smile. "Andrew, you don't look well. Eat more to replenish your nutrition."
"Thank you, Auntie."
