Mr. Sullivan, what are you going to do in the kitchen?
That boy doesnt like green onions. Ill make another bowl of noodles for him. Keep the noodles warm and ask him to eat them when he comes back, Victor said.
Mr. Sullivan, why dont you leave it to the chef?
No, I will do it myself. When he returns, ask someone to stand by until he finishes eating. Hes scared of the thunder outside, Victor uttered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Lukas was unsure of what to say for a moment.
About half an hour later
By nightfall, the thunderstorm had stopped, but the winds still blew strongly.
Lukas was staring at the door, worried. Joey hadnt come back yet.

He was hesitating whether to go out and look for the boy or not.
When Lukas saw the steaming noodles on the table, he thought of how he saw Victor cooking noodles in the kitchen earlier. He let out a sigh, turned around, and was about to go out in search of Joey.
The second he reached the hallway, he saw Joey walking towards him.
Joe! When Lukas saw the boy, he approached.
Seemingly having cried, Joeys eyes had turned red. And when he saw
Lukas, he greeted him in a dull voice.
Upon seeing the boys tearful face, Lukas felt sorry for him.
Joe, its about to rain. You should go inside, or else youll catch a cold.

.
Joey nodded in response. Then, he looked behind Lukas almost instinctively. When he saw that there was nobody behind him, he looked down, visibly disappointed.
After he ran out of the dining area, he didnt go that far. Instead, he just sat in front of a small fountain in the front courtyard. And the more he thought of what Victor did to him, the more it displeased him. He sat there, cursing his father and feeling that he had been wronged. It was then that he noticed a tall man walking towards him from a distance.
The light was fairly dim, so Joey was unable to see the man clearly.
He thought that it was Victor that went after him.
At the time, he decided that if Victor were to apologize to him, he could consider going back. However, he would never apologize! When that thought crossed his mind, Joey stood up and waited for the man to approach.
Sadly, it wasnt Victor.
It was just one of the servants. The man had an umbrella in hand, and spoke to him in a gentle voice.
Joe, its about to rain. You should go inside, or else youll catch a cold.
Joey pursed his lips and said nothing. He just stood there for a long time until he felt cold and had to agree.
