The first day the children went to kindergarten, Amelia Garcia was distracted.
Kane came to inspect the store, and she accompanied him.
Perhaps it was because she had asked him to stay in a hotel last night that caused displeasure, for Kane's behavior towards her had noticeably lost its previous warmth and attentiveness.
Apart from discussing work, they didn't talk about anything else.
Amelia felt sad, not because Kane's warmth towards her had cooled,
but she felt like she had hurt a true friend who had helped her enormously before.
Several times, she looked at Kane wanting to explain, but she found herself unable to speak and feared that an explanation would give Kane the wrong impression, making him think she had had a change of heart.
So, after hesitating, she ended up saying nothing at all.
Deep down, she hoped that Kane would return to his country soon.
Without seeing him, she wouldn't have to think about these tangled issues.
