Then the atmosphere became awkward again. Only Liam tried to start conversations, but Joanna's parents didn't respond, so it quickly went silent again.
I just focused on eating. During this time, Joanna's parents served me more food several times.
But Joanna, apart from occasionally glancing at me, didn't mention anything about revealing the truth.
I was puzzled.
Clearly, Joanna brought Liam over to reveal everything, so why wasn't she saying anything?
Was it because she didn't want to be the bad guy in front of her parents and wanted me to be the villain?
The dinner ended.
Before leaving, Crystal pulled Joanna aside for a chat.
Meanwhile, Joanna's dad called me aside and said earnestly, "Andrew, Joanna can be quite difficult at times. Please be more tolerant and don't argue with her too much."
Be more tolerant?
I had always been doing that, thinking that one day Joanna would understand me.
But I was wrong.
After Joanna's parents left, Liam smiled and said, "Let's go sing and call a few more classmates."
"I'm not going. You guys have fun."
I refused.
After eating and drinking, I should go home and sleep. I didn't want to inconvenience myself because of others.
