NovelEnglishChapter 56 Conrad had returned. I was completely taken aback, just like when he had remembered my dad's old phone number Bree and Zack were equally surprised. They stared at Conrad for a long twithout saying a word.
Conrad had been away for four years and hadn't returned even once during that time. His sudden return was both a surprise and a delight for them.
what's the matter? Are you not happy to see me?" Conrad walked over, smiling as he asked.

"Conrad," I called out to him.
At this moment, Bree and Zack also cto their senses. Bree let go of my hand and walked over to Conrad, lightly hitting him twice. "So you do remember you have parents and need to cback." Zack chimed in as well. "Why didn't you give us a heads-up?" Conrad glanced atand smiled faintly. "I wanted to surprise you." Tears welled up in Bree's eyes as Conrad reached out to hug her. "Mom." That one word made Bree hit him a couple more times before she hugged him. tightly, muttering, "You haven't cback for so long. Your father and I thought we had wronged you. We thought you were holding a grudge." "What are you talking about, Mom? I was just too busy abroad," Conrad said, but his eyes were onas he spoke.
His gaze was direct and intense, and my heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he cback because of me? Conrad's arrival put an end to the discussion aboutand Chris. However, Chapterse since everything had been said, Zack seemed to have accepted it. Bree was still struggling. But with Conrad and Zack's persuasion, she'd caround eventually.
Conrad said he hadn't eaten and wanted to have his parents' cooking again. Bree and Zack immediately went to the kitchen to prepare food. They askedto join them for food as well.
Conrad and I were left alone in the living room. There was an awkward silence since everything had already been said over the phone.
Conrad broke the silence first. "I thought you wouldn't chere anymore." "What are you talking about? This is my home. I can chere whenever I want," I said. But then I remembered I had another task-to pack my belongings.
Seeing the busy figures in the kitchen, I knew this was a good tto pack my things and put them in the car. This way, when I left, Bree and Zack wouldn't see my luggage and feel sad or try to holdback. "I'll help you take your luggage upstairs," said, getting up to grab his suitcase.
"It's fine." Conrad declined and reached out at the stime. Our hands touched, and I quickly pulled back, my nerves tingling.

"You're always so good to me..." I smiled at him as innocently as I did years ago.
"I thought you might have forgotten," he repeated.
I didn't know how to respond, so I reached out. "Letcarry your bag." This time, he didn't refusé. I took his bag, and we went upstairs together.
His room was next to mine and Chris'. But his was the innermost one, mine was in the middle, and Chris' En was on the outer side. Because of the renovation, Chris' room was open, still showing signs of being unfinished.
