Chapter 53

Amber grinned at Tina’s comment. “That’s one of the reasons. Humans are self-centered, aren’t we all? Still, compared to my relationship with her, our relationship is more solid!

Grandma’s reply came fast. ‘Are you off on weekends then?’

She hesitated for a moment and decided that her injuries would have healed by the weekend. ‘Yes, I’m off this weekend!

‘Great. Visit me on the weekend. I’ll make you some delicious gnocchis.’

Rachel beamed warmly at the text from her grandmother and replied, ‘Sure!

At the same time, she heard car engine sounds from downstairs, and she immediately knew that Justin was back.
