Chapter 22 Let Tina Come Over and Play

At the end of the day, it simply meant that Jordan had autism.

“I’m sorry—I didn’t mean to pry too much,” said Courtney as she apologized sincerely. “How about this? Let me pay for today’s meal in order to express my sincerest apologies.”

Right then, Alexander came back to his senses and saw her flustered face. He soon realized that his attitude was too harsh. After all, she was the one who saved Jordan’s life. He softened his tone and explained, “It’s not that Jordan can’t talk; he just chooses not to talk.”

Courtney nodded and decided to stop asking questions.

Meanwhile, Jordan sat in the midst of an ocean of colorful balls. When he suddenly lost sight of Tina, he frowned and a panicked look crossed over his face.

 

“Haha!” All of a sudden, the ocean of balls exploded in front of him as Tina emerged under it and looked at him with a big smile. “I’m here!”

Jordan was startled by her and clamored up; it seemed like this was the first time someone had ever played with him like that.

 

Tina was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”

Jordan shook his head. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pointed at the table—he wanted to go back.

Even though she still wanted to play, Tina saw the look of shock on Jordan’s face and nodded understandingly. “Are you hungry? Let’s go back.”

While they were having their meals, Jordan insisted on sitting next to Courtney despite Alexander’s countless attempts to discourage him. Tina was quite generous as she climbed onto the seat next to Alexander and said, “Since he likes my mommy so much, you should just let him sit next to her. I’ll just sit here.”

Since Courtney seemed fine with it, Alexander let the matter slide and looked at the cute little girl who was sitting next to him; he felt that she was quite pleasing to the eyes. “His name is Jordan,” said Alexander to Tina.
