Eager for an answer, Nancy tightly grasped Lewis’ arm.

Several moments later, Lewis leaned forward and tapped his cigarette against the table to remove.

Are you aware that your old man can’t even be bothered to return home nowadays? What do you mean ‘we haven’t come to that yet’?

At that thought, Nancy simmered down and looked at Lewis woefully. “Lewis, this is for your own

good-”

Lewis interrupted her before she could finish speaking, “Enough. I’ve heard enough of that.”

Standing up, he shifted his frosty gaze to Nancy. “If you’re really concerned about me, stop
