Everyone did not know what to say after that. But maybe because wisdom comes with age, his father gave him a surprising reply.
'You have grown wonderfully since you were a kid. Even more so after five years of being away. So don't worry, I have never treated you as unstable. Even I don't believe that anyone is stable at all.'
Rose who just came from the room where Prince hurriedly slept, butted in - 'Such wisdom Mr. East is admirable. No wonder why your kids are marvelous except for your eldest.'
Mrs. East playfully joined - 'Are you saying that the bad genes came from me? No wonder why the two of you broke up.'

Rose slowly approached Shaun's mother with an unreadable expression while the latter wore a straight face.
Shaun frowned not knowing what to do. He did not even notice that he was the only one bothered by the two’s actions.
