76 NEON WAS HAVING DOUBTS

"Belle! Over here!" Neon called out as soon as his sister and Eli came out. He was waving his hand to them and beside him was Andrei who wrote 'Welcome Home' on his writing board. "How was your work? Did you encounter any problems?" 

Belle tussled her brother's head as well as Andrei who looked very pleased with her gesture. "We did great today and no, we didn't encounter any problems." Then, Jojie passed by them with a platter of big grilled squids. The aroma was so enticing that Belle salivated because of the food. "Good evening, Auntie Jo." 

"Good evening, Belle. Come and join us. We're almost done setting up the table for dinner." 

"Hi, mom." Eli greeted her and kissed her cheeks, "I'll just put my things inside." 

"Hn. Go ahead." 

Eli only gave Belle a faint smile before leaving to put away his things.
