S31 92. Don’t Be Shy

“If you’re not friends, I think that’s okay. You can be a boyfriend and girlfriend. Ava is a good person, Uncle,” Louis nodded reassuringly.

Emily imitated him. “And she’s also beautiful and kind. Ava suits you well, Uncle.”

As Ava and Jeremy fell silent, Kara laughed lightly. “Little Angels, how about we catch up with Philip? Poor Uncle Jeremy and Ava if you keep teasing them. They could turn into boiled crabs.”

“That’s a great idea, Mommy.” A second later, Emily took Ava’s hand. ” Come on, Auntie. Let’s go together. Don’t be shy with us.”

Instead of following the little girl, Ava politely let go of her hand. Her face frowned, showing reluctance.

“What’s wrong, Ava?” Emily asked in a disappointed tone. Her shoulders even drooped slightly.

“Sorry, Emily. I can’t come with you I’ve been away from my mother and your grandmother for too long. I have to go home now.”

“Mrs. Bell is looking after them. You don’t need to worry,” Louis shook his head slowly.

“Yes, but that is my job, not hers. I can’t neglect my duties even if someone else can do it. So, I have to go home immediately. You don’t mind, right?” Ava grimaced, hoping for understanding.

The twins sighed. “Okay then.”

Ava felt guilty seeing that gloomy face. However, she knew she was doing the right thing.

“By the way, I’m glad you’re safe. I heard your adventure was great.”

“Yeah, Emily and I actually have a lot of interesting things to tell you.

But since you have to go now, maybe another time.”

Ava sighed helplessly. She glanced at Kara. The woman smiled calmly at her.

“It’s okay, Ava. You’ve waited here long enough. Thank you for helping me look after Barbara. When you get home, don’t go straight to work. Just take a rest. Mrs. Bell must have taken care of your pending work.

“Thank you, Madam. See you later, Everyone.” Ava waved at the twins.

Louis and Emily waved back. “Bye, Ava, Uncle Jeremy.”

Ava’s eyes instantly widened. “Your uncle? No, no. He doesn’t-”

“I have to see my mother too. She must be worried. Let’s go together. Besides, my job here is finished, right, Frank?”
