“Zark?”

Chase, Ethan, and the others were startled by his sudden action. Noticing his strange expression, Ethan asked, “What happened?”

Zark snapped back to reality, his gaze lingering on Chase and Tanya. Then, he lowly shook his head.“Nothing.”

He sat back down.

Catherine still wanted to talk to him.“Zark, I-”

Zark ignored her, turning to Betty.“Betty, are you thirsty? Want some water?”

“Yes.”

After taking a couple of sips from Zark’s cup, Betty returned to chat with Sam, resuming their conversation about the toys Sam had brought her. Then, Betty handed Sam a collectible figure.“I bought this when I went to the cinema during the New Year’s holiday. It’s for you.”

Sam was delighted.“You went to the movies during the New Year’s holiday?”

“Yeah, my uncle and aunt took me,” Betty said happily.“After the movie, we played games. My aunt is super good at it! Too bad my uncle and I had plans and left early.”

“My uncle took me to a movie that morning, too, but he was in a hurry to hang out with his friends, so we went home right after that. I didn’t even know there were figures!”

Missing out on the figures made Sam a little sad. Hearing Betty praise her aunt’s gaming skills, he quietly added, “My mom’s quite good at games, too.”

“Next time, I’ll ask my aunt, and you ask your mom, and we’ll all play together!”

Betty noticed Chase watching them.

Sam also noticed that.“Dad, what’s wrong?”

Chase smiled lightly.“Nothing, you guys keep chatting.”
