Chapter 28 Pleasant Family Reunion “Speak for yourself. Gianna did not ask me to reimburse her;” Kate pointed out. “If you‘re not g oing to pay up, then be a bit more self–aware and get out of the car now.”
“Who do you think I came here for? If it wasn‘t just to pick you up. When we came earlier, we thought w e were going to be late so Gianna sped all the way here. My heart was literally up in my throat the whol e time. She got here in less than 40 minutes when it‘s supposed to take an hour. My soul felt like it alm ost left my body. You should be more considerate and also pay for my portion.”
Gianna looked at her through the rear–view mirror. “You should just tell him if you want him to pay for you. Don‘t beat around the bush and talk about my driving instead of your own cow ardice. You‘re the first one to criticize my driving skills.”
He chimed in, “Exactly; and you still want me to pay on your behalf? Do you think you‘re very pretty?”

“Uncle Silas!” South tilted his head as he greeted him. There was an unrestrained delight on his face.
Silas walked over and caressed his small head then asked warmly, “Has your leg injury recovered?” So uth nodded. “It doesn‘t hurt anymore.” “Uncle!” Landon called.
Silas nodded at him. “Did you just come back?‘
“Yeah, I came here as soon as I got off the plane.”
“Go on and see Great–grandpa. He‘s always talking about you!”
Landon let out a murmur then looked back at Gianna. “Let‘s go, Gianna.”
