Chapter 35 - Acceptance
A Quest for Joy"Mom, were you eavesdropping?"
"You can have a seat." Mr. Jung told Jessica.
"Me?" Jessica looked at her father. "oh. Ow my legs sore. It's okay."
Mrs. Jung held onto Jessica's arm to help her daughter.
"Aren't you going to ask me why I made you stand for so long?"
"I probably done something that made you upset." Jessica paused at the stairs. Mrs. Jung bit her tongue thinking Mr. Jung might still be angry at them.

"Huh, what?" Jessica looked back at her father. Her mother at the same time was also shocked at her husband's sudden change of heart.
