Chapter 38

“As much as I love you and your family, do you know how long they are still going to be staying here for?” Mrs D asked me as we stood in the kitchen of my parent’s house that weekend. My mom had just come home from the hospital so everyone had relocated back here.

“I thought you liked having them here because they give you less work to do.” I pointed out.

“They’re excellent guests when it comes to that but they are noisy. I’m used to the house being peaceful especially since you left.” She took a sip of the cup of tea she held in her hands then blew some of the steam away.

“I would love to leave right now again.”

“Your mom just got out of hospital and you want to leave?”

“I love my mom and I am glad she’s out of the hospital but my family is annoying.”

“Hunter, can you make your mom cup of tea please?” Aunty O asked me as she entered the kitchen.

“See what I mean?” I asked Mrs D. At least that managed to put a smile on her face.
