My Father's Best Friend novel Chapter 18

Andrea walked out of the kitchen and made her way back to her room while Lance remained rooted on the spot where she snapped at him.

Finally getting his cool and realizing he is the elder one, if not the adult, he followed her to her room, thoroughly confused with Andrea.

"Andrea," he knocked. No answer.

"Andrea," still no answer.

"Andrea, op-" but before he could even finish what he was saying, Andrea's door swung open.

"Can't you take a hint? Please, stop knocking and leave me alone!" she yelled at him. After that, she closed the door, leaving Lance facing her white door again, in a really confused state.

Women, he thought, but Lance was not one for backing down, and if there was anyone who can match her tenacity, that would be him.

He twisted the knob and found that it was not locked so instead of asking to come in, which he knew will be denied, he barged in.

"Andrea," he said but before he could even add a word, he heard sobs from Andrea's bed.

Unable to see clearly in the dark, he went straight to the silhouette of the bed and sat right next to Andrea.
