"Mother!" Steve scolded when he heard what his mother had just said.
Steve had no idea that his mother would ask Sarah for dinner, and made Sarah feel awkward.
"What? I just wanted to ask her out to dinner because I like her," said Mrs. Brown with an expression of disapproval of such blame.
"It's okay Sarah, you can ignore it. After all, you're very busy," Steve said with an awkward smile.
Sarah was silent for a moment. In fact she was very surprised when Mrs. Brown asks her for dinner. She thought it must be just a small talk, and Sarah would only reply politely.
But suddenly Steve answered his mother first, and Sarah finally knew that the old woman was serious.
"It's all right, Steve. Thanks for inviting me, Mrs Brown. I'll be looking forward to it," Sarah replied with a sweet smile.
The feeling of warmth returned when she saw the happy face and sincere smile of Mrs. Brown.
