Chapter 987 Don’t Go
The room was dark, and there was a back figure behind the door. Amanda could see the face of the
dark figure with the light of the living room diffused into the room.
She tightened her hand that was holding the door handle. She thought she was tough enough to face
her parents calmly. However, when she really saw them, the emotions involuntarily welled up in her
heart. She sobbed, “Dad.”
Matthew did not want to blame her for anything. Amanda would be mature and grow up after she had
this experience.
“Dad, I was wrong,” Amanda hurled herself into Matthew's arms. She did not want to cry in front of her
parents at first, but she could not control her emotions.
She could not control herself. Memories of her sadness and bitterness this year came flooding back
like a movie replayed in her mind. It was so clear and profound.
Matthew patted her on the back and said in a low voice, “It's my bad.”
The biggest mistake of his life was trusting Stanford. He was confident that Amanda's outstanding
would make Stanford fall in love with her. However, he had made such a big mistake.
“No, it was my own choice,” Amanda wiped her face.
She could not blame anyone. She was willing to admit her mistakes and also to bear the
consequences. Moreover, she did not want her parents to blame themselves.
Matthew raised his hand to wipe the tears left in the corners of her eyes. He was grateful within himself
that Amanda was alright.
Dolores sat on the side of the bed and faced the window while her back to the door. She was in
ordinary cloth instead of pyjamas, so did Matthew. It seemed that they did not sleep at all and had been
waiting for her.
Matthew and Dolores did not open the door immediately after hearing the knock on the door because
they blamed themselves for not protecting Amanda well. They hesitated to open the door because they
did not dare to face Amanda and were afraid they could not control their emotions when they saw
Amanda.
Amanda looked at the figure sitting on the side of the bed that was concealed in the darkness. Although
she could not see it clearly, she could vaguely see Dolores's slightly trembled shoulder.
Amanda went over, stood at the side of the bed, and sobbed, “Mom.”
Dolores did not respond to her because others would know she was crying if she opened her mouth.
Dolores felt heartache because her daughter had suffered so much.
However, she did not want Amanda to know how she felt at this moment.
Amanda wound her arms around Dolores and wanted to say sorry to her, but she did not say it out
because it was useless to say something at this moment.
They embraced each other, warmed each other, and cried out loud together. It was the only way they
could vent out the sadness and bitterness.
Upstairs, Bonnie did not sleep and thought that nobody could fall asleep tonight. She got up from the
bed and opened the door of Joshua's bedroom.
The light of his room did not light up. However, the curtain had not drawn, and the light from the
streetlamp diffused into the room. It made the room a little brightening.
She held a pillow and stood at the door, “I can't fall asleep.”
Joshua also did not sleep. He noticed the movement at the door. He saw her with the help of the light,
“You can count sheep to sleep.”
“I can't sleep even if I counted sheep,” Bonnie showed coquetry.
Joshua moved a little over inside and left the half of the bed empty to give way to Bonnie, “Come here,
I'll put you to sleep.”
Bonnie ran over to the bed with her pillow, lifted the covers, got in the bed. She did not want the pillow
anymore and directly threw it to the foot of the bed. Joshua's arm pillowed Bonnie. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Joshua patted her on the back, “Sleep, baby, sleep...”
Bonnie covered his mouth, “I'm not a baby, but you are. I still want to call you Jos today.”
Bonnie thought that it was indeed funny that she still called him Jos when he had grown up.
She laughed out loud at the thought.
It had touched a sore spot of Joshua and said sternly, “Don't call me that.”
“You're being called Jos since you were a kid. Everyone also called you...”
Bonnie did not finish her words, but Joshua covered her mouth like she covered his. However, Bonnie
used her hand to cover his mouth, while Joshua used his lips to cover hers.
Soon the two kissed passionately together and embraced each other.
Joshua and Bonnie were about the same age, and they were young. They kissed so passionately and
naturally would have a desire to have sex with one another. The two put out the flames of passion in
time and let go of each other.
Both of them were lying on the bed.
They breathed deeply.
After a while, both of them calmed down. Joshua looked at the ceiling and said, “You came into my
room at midnight. Don't you afraid that I can't control myself?”
“I trust you,” Bonnie said with great certainty.
Joshua could not help but smile, “I don't trust myself.”
“But I trust you,” Bonnie turned her side and put her arms around him, “Do you think Amanda will cry
when she sees dad and mom?”
“I don't know,” Joshua patted her, “It's late now, let's sleep.”
“I don't know what's wrong today. I don't feel sleepy,” Bonnie looked at him, “Are you sleepy?”
Joshua said, “I can't sleep as well.”
Tonight was bounded to be a sleepless night.
“Then why do you still ask me to sleep?” Bonnie complained.
Joshua smiled, reached out to stroke her hair, and said, “Aren't you afraid of the elders seeing you go
out of my room in the morning?”
Bonnie's parents had educated Bonnie to be virtuous. Bonnie usually would never do anything deviant
with the presence of elders.
She was also kind and obedient to elders.
Bonnie sat up from the bed instantly, “I want to see if you're asleep. I'll go back to my room now.”
She just wanted to accompany Joshua, who would have something on his mind tonight. After all, it was
Amanda, his elder sister, who had been through an accident. He must have been overwhelmed with
emotions and glad that Amanda returned home unscathed.
Bonnie wanted to be by his side at this time.
She picked up her pillow and was about to leave, but Joshua tugged at the hem of her pyjamas, “Don't
go.”
