Chapter Thirty–five    ~Siding With Him~

Gwen

I was glad to hear the recent update about the ferals from my parents.

They informed me and Lionel to get ready for school tomorrow, that the curfew was lifted and everything was back to normal.

I was helping my mother in the kitchen when we heard a knock on the front door. Josh and his kid brother stood at the door with smiling faces.

"Hi. I'm Ethan." He grinned widely.

"Can we come in?" Josh asked.

I quickly open the door wider. "Oh, sorry. Of course, come in."

Why was he here and with his brother? They both greet my mother. I showed them to the living room.

"What would you and brother like to have?"

"Water will be fine."

"Ok. Give me a minute." I walked to the kitchen and brought back a bottle of cold water and two glass cups.

"Thank you." Josh smiled. "Sorry, you're seeing me with Ethan. I intended to come alone but he wanted to tag along."

I grinned. "That's fine."

Josh cleared his throat. "Gwen, can we speak privately please?" He made a side eye to give me a sign.
