"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Logically, you should have told me such a huge piece of news as the Emerson girl getting married."
Charlotte kept silent, and Anne did not explain further.
Rick understood instantly. There was a reason for this, but it was inconvenient to say. He did not ask more and changed the topic. "Alright, at least now we're back here together. It will make an old empty-nester like me less lonely."
"Rick, how are you an old empty-nester?" Anne teased, not giving him any face at all.
"I'm going to be thirty years old soon, little sister."
"Lottie, my brother said that he'll be thirty soon."
Anne's words made Charlotte feel rather flabbergasted. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
However, Rick smiled and said, "Just because you can't nag me into getting into a relationship doesn't mean you can drag Lottie into this."
"Rick, what I meant was..."
"What you meant isn't important. I mean, don't worry about it."
