Chapter 29: I AGREE!
Noah didn't respond to her immediately.
Instead, he raised his hand and playfully flicked her forehead.
"Silly girl! How could you curse your big brother?" Noah said playfully, noticing the protest in her gaze. "Alright, let's go..."
He softly grasped her hand before guiding her to his car.
Alicia was surprised to see her brother open the car door for her. She pulled Noah's hand and leaned closer to whisper, "Bro, you come with your boss?"
Noah ignored her question.
"Hurry up, Alice! We don't have much time!" he said urgently.
Once settled next to his sister, Noah told Jason their destination, leaving Alicia even more puzzled.
She grabbed Noah's arm and leaned into him, "Bro, we're headed to the restaurant? Why tho? The hospital cafeteria food is hella good and, like, super cheap! Let's just eat there, huh!?"
Alicia felt a bit worried that her brother might end up spending too much if they went to the restaurant. She's already aware of the challenges he's facing, especially with their mother having been in the hospital for many months now.
Noah smiled at her in silence, then shifted his focus to the road ahead.
