The Celebration

Connor waited in the living room for about half an hour before Freya and Maya finally came out of the bedroom.

"Freya, I just heard that you're going to Europe, right?"

Connor asked.

"Yeah, I told the company's executives about your idea a few days ago. They seem to think that your idea is feasible. A European investment company is very interested in our project and invited me to go to Europe to talk to them…" Freya said.

"But what will I do once you leave?

Connor asked helplessly.

"You've been separated from my cousin for so long, but haven't you been living well regardless? Why can't you live without her now?" Maya said sarcastically.

"Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking!" Connor frowned and scolded, then continued, "Freya, I came to Porthampton because of you. If you leave, what's the point of me staying here?"

"Then go back to the city. Didn't you say you were going back a few days ago?"
