Summer was perplexed as she asked, "You know Patrick too? He was my colleague in school. We were both English teachers for the same class, but he had left only after 2 days of work."
"He was my schoolmate back when I was studying at Athana. He had hurried back to Athana because his father had suddenly passed away, and his mother had fallen ill.
The reason why he came here in the first place was because of a woman."
"For Paine, right?"
"Yeah."
Summer nodded. She had not expected Patrick to be one who was spoony, but he left a good impression on Summer even though they had only met about six times.
After dinner, Kolby and Daisy went into the room while Summer and Makayla stayed in the living room. Fruits were prepared for them.
"Why did you come over? Did you need something?" Summer asked politely in a friendly tone. She had no reason to be hostile with Makayla after all.
"Do you hate me, Summer?"
"Of course not. I don't have a reason to."
Makayla smiled and replied, "I just returned from school, and Mark said Charlotte left some clothes in the apartment so he told me to let you know to get it."
Summer nodded, signaling that she understood, "I'll head over to his place later. I'll fetch you along as well."
"I don't want to trouble you. I have to go back to school later, and I'll stay there for the night."
Kolby, who was done with Daisy's check-up, had walked out of the room. In a swift movement, he grabbed his coat on the rack and asked, "Which university are you studying at?"
Makayla answered. Kolby lifted his chin, glanced, and winked at her as he said, "It's on the way where I'm heading to. I'll send you."
