"Hello, Mr. Logan." Charles's voice came through, getting straight to the point. "Sharon, how's Yolanda? Is she feeling any better?" Sharon replied, "Yeah, she's doing much better. She's still asleep." Charles asked, "And what about Teresa? Did she come over?" After their call last night, Charles hadn't followed up on Yolanda's condition.

Naomi and Ava laid out breakfast on the table-millet porridge, lean pork congee, pickled veggies, steamed buns, stuffed baozi, and even chive pockets.

Halfway through breakfast, Ava suddenly spoke up again.

"With the Spring Festival coming up soon, why don't we get both families together, make things official, and hold the wedding? That way, we'll feel better about letting Naomi marry you, right?"
