Lilly and Josh looked at Claire in unison.
Claire was silent as she hugged her husband's neck tightly.
Her husband was speechless immediately, "Let go of me!"
Lilly and Josh whispered, "How do we get her to her original home?"
Josh asked, "Is it her parents' house?"
Lilly nodded, "Yeah! Tortoise said that the ghost is at her parent's house,"
Josh yawned, "Well... how about we make an excuse to have tea at her house because we're tired?"
Lilly frowned, "What if they said no?"
It isn't our home after all!
Blake did not change his expression and said calmly, "I think you should go to her parent's house for a drink first. I think the car is out of petrol,"
Claire's husband was about to say something but kept quiet.
He felt that what Blake said made sense, but he also felt that his hands and feet were cold for some reason.
Lilly and Josh immediately looked at Blake with admiration.
Uncle Blake is so amazing!
Claire's husband thought for a while and said, "Then... let's go to my father-in-law's house first!" He seemed reluctant.
They were close to Claire's parents' house. They parked the car and walked to the community.
Lilly asked strangely, "You don't seem willing to go to your wife's house, sir,"
Claire's husband was silent and Claire responded, "He doesn't like to visit my parents' house in the first place,"
Her husband's family was far away from them. She would drive for miles to his hometown to visit his family every Chinese New Year, National Day, and Festivals without any complaints.
However, her parents' house was less than a ten-minute drive away from theirs, and he refused to visit them during the holidays.
She would bring gifts to her in-laws, cook, feed the chickens, help with chores, and so on.
However, her husband could not do the same. Every time he visited Claire's parents, he would just bring one dish. He would also sit alone and play with his phone when he got there.
Claire's husband sneered, "Why would I need to visit your family? To hear how you should spend your money on them?"
Claire was annoyed, "Don't be too much. Why didn't you ever disagree with my parents' view?"
She had to take care of both sides.
He wanted her to break free from her parents, and to settle things with her brother, but he never stood by her side. If she could not handle it well, he would mock her when she came home.
Claire's husband replied, "It's your family, why should I interfere with your business? I don't wanna get involved with your family's affairs,"
"You're an adult, Claire. You should solve it yourself, can't you settle your problems?"
Claire was speechless.
She said angrily, "Put me down!"
Claire's husband ignored her.
Lilly watched the two quarrel and her head was full of doubts.
"Josh, is this what people call a poison tongue?" She asked in a low voice.
Josh asked nodded, "Yeah, I think so,"
Lilly sighed, her face turned serious, and she furrowed her eyebrows
She said, "Sir, I don't think you are right,"
"Although you understand the truth, you're unwilling to reason with her,"
"You don't wanna get yourself involved and you're unhappy, but you don't even talk about what's making you mad. You know that Miss is confused and you only blamed her for everything,"
Although Lilly did not know why adults were so weird, she also did not know if it was right for them to do so.
Lilly was only voicing out her thoughts. She thought that the couple should solve things together.
