"Hmm, that's a good idea."
Ella Lacey teased Cherline Lindsey, "Did you hear what your sister said? We miss you, and you should come back. If it's inconvenient for you, we'll come to see you, okay?"
But Cherline didn't answer, instead, she suddenly put down her chopsticks and said lightly, "I'm full."
Then.
She turned around and left the dining room.
Leaving everyone in the room awkward and embarrassed...
"What's wrong with Cherline?"
Penny Sullivan finally asked while Cherline wasn't around, "Since she came back this evening, she seemed off? Silently packing her stuff, not talking, she used to greet me and Wilton when she came back."
"Mom, don't overthink it, Cherline is fine."
Arthur Lindsey was never the talkative one at the dining table, but when it came to Cherline, he always defended her.
"Really?" Penny Sullivan didn't believe it, and turned her gaze to Ella Lacey, asking her, "Ella, what do you think?"
