Chapter 73

  "Are you going out so early today, Tracy? "

  Lydia's voice came from the stairwell.

  I looked up and saw Lydia in her pajamas yawning.

  The dense hickeys on her neck made me blush, so I quickly lowered my head.

  "Yeah. I have an appointment with a friend."

  "Friend?" She squinted and asked, "Or boyfriend? Recently, you go out every day. Are you busy dating?"

  "Yeah".

  I nodded shyly.

  "How did you get to know each other? When will you bring him back? I......"

  Before Lydia could finish her words, Powell pulled her into his arms, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Well, don't worry about it. Tracy is an adult, and it's normal for her to have her own social life. She has her own ideas. We'd better not interfere too much. We went to bed so late last night. It's still early now. Let's get some sleep."

  I was used to their public display of affection at home.

  I changed my shoes and hurried out with my messenger bag.
