Yannie lifted her head to gaze at Thomas' handsome face, smiling. "Not too long ago."
"Liar." Thomas sighed, gently wiped the sweat off her forehead with his sleeve, and then helped her get into the car. "Let's go."
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Yannie buckled her seatbelt and turned to stare at Thomas. "What are we doing this afternoon?"
Thomas curled his lips into a smile and said, smiling, as he started the engine, "You'll find out soon enough; I've been waiting for this day since ages ago."
Even though Thomas knew that his wretched father was not apologizing out of genuine remorse, due to the situation at hand, the fact that he was willing to admit his mistake was enough.
When his mother's birthday rolled around, he could finally visit his mother's grave and declare to her that her son had finally helped avenge her death.
Yannie sighed when she saw Thomas smiling but did not ask further questions.
Since he was not willing to reveal anything yet, she would wait patiently. After all, it was about time, and she would find out soon enough.
Besides…
Since they were heading to Howard Mansion, Yannie could make an educated guess as to why Thomas was so delighted.
The car soon arrived at its destination where Tina and Denise were both standing at the door, awaiting their arrival.
As soon as Thomas' car pulled to a stop, Tina approached them with a giant smile. "You're right on time, Thomas…"
However, both Tina and Denise's smiles froze on their faces when they saw Yannie getting out of the passenger seat.
Tina first stared at Yannie in disbelief, then glanced at Denise.
