It was noon, and John Brown accompanied Charlotte Grandy and her parents to lunch. Charlotte’s chatty little mouth didn’t stop talking, and she looked incredibly cheerful. Her parents, all smiles as they talked to her, appeared to be a picture-perfect, loving family of three from the perspective of outsiders.
However, when Charlotte went into the exam hall again in the afternoon, her parents reverted to acting like strangers. Several times, Charlotte’s mother seemed as if she wanted to say something to John, but ultimately held back.
John guessed that the mother might be suspicious about whether Charlotte and he had something going on, and probably wanted to ask him about it. Yet, fearing it would affect Charlotte’s performance on her college entrance exams, she restrained herself.
John had a clear conscience about this kind of matter, so there was no need to explain anything to her. Since she didn’t ask, there was even less reason for him to bring it up himself.
Melody Yoody had left just after the second subject in the morning, which made John feel significantly lighter. Facing Melody, John still felt considerable pressure. Even though Melody hadn’t said anything, chastised him, or scolded him, the weight was still there.
Though Melody had departed, her aunt remarkably sought John out in the afternoon.
"You’re John Brown, aren’t you?" Melody’s aunt was dressed in globally renowned brands, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance that spoke of someone with fine tastes.
"Yes," John nodded with a smile on his face.
"I’m Melody’s aunt, Emily Smith."
