Chapter 173

　　Everyone is silent, though they are supposed to be having a conversation since they are having their breakfast—like the old times, Eunice expected. Yet, it seems like no one is around, that no one of them is bothered at all by their quietness. The same thing goes for weeks ever since she came back.

　　Julia eyed on Norman, but the man just shrugged his shoulders and gave the two an approval to go by waving his hand. Her mom shook her head and turned to her.

　　“Don’t you want the food?”

　　“N-No. I mean, I love it. I am just wondering how those two became like that.”

　　The old man creased his forehead and swallowed a morsel before emptying his cup of coffee.

　　“Became what?”

　　“They don’t leave the table unless everyone is already done eating. Never.”
