Hearst said that he would come back before eight o'clock in the evening, but until 8:30 in the evening, Anaya did not see him back.
She called Hearst, but his phone was turned off.
Adams was playing chess with Jaylon on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Anaya come back after the call, Adams asked, "Jared still doesn't answer the phone, does he?"
Anaya hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, he said that he still has something to do in the company. He might come back later. Let's eat first."
Adams did not doubt and packed up the chessboard before going to the dining room.
Jaylon looked at Anaya and remained silent.
After the meal, Anaya sent Adams upstairs to take a rest.
When Anaya returned to the kitchen, she saw that Jaylon had already finished washing the dishes.
"Mr. Malpas, just leave it to me."
"It's fine. I've already done it." Jaylon pulled out a tissue and wiped the water off his palms and fingertips.
