To lighten the atmosphere, Don-don invited Ethan to join them for dinner . When Eva heard the offer, she turned around and gave Ethan a look with a frown on her face and waited for his reply . "Thank you for the invitation; however I have other engagement tonight, maybe next time . " Ethan quickly answer .
When Eva heard his answer, she was satisfied . She went back to cooking and let it go just like that .
"Well! Nice to meet all of you . If I want to see you again, where can I find you beside coming over here?" Ethan was asking Don-don but looking at Eva in the makeshift kitchen .
Don-don saw how Ethan kept on looking at Eva"s direction . Even though he"s only seven years old, he pretty smart at his age . He figured out that Ethan is interested with his older sister Eva .
How about we give sister Eva"s phone number . You can text her first before coming and will meet somewhere . " Don-don informs Ethan .
When Ethan heard what Don-don said, his eyes lit up light a light bulb being turned on . "Sure! Here"s my cell phone, you can put it in . "
Don-don accepted Ethan"s cell phone, input Eva"s number then winks at him while handing the cell phone .
They walked Ethan back out of the slum area . No one bothered them the whole time . Ethan couldn"t see much of the field as they pa.s.sed through; however, the smell of the garbage around the surrounding making his stomach turns inside out .
He didn"t want to let Don-don know that he has a weak stomach, Ethan tries his best holding his breathing while sweating bullets at the same time .
When they were about to reach the end of the alleyways, Ethan couldn"t hold it anymore and started throwing up . He squatted at the side of the alley trying to hide it from Don-don .
"Sir, it"s alright! You don"t have to hold it in, puke it all out and you"ll feel better afterward . " Don-don was patting his back with a concerned look on his eyes .
"Thank you! I"m fine now; it"s just that . . . " Ethan with a face full of sweat looking pale tried his best to smile .
They separated once they enter an area where Ethan"s became familiar, bid goodbye to each other and went on their separate way .
Ethan thought of an idea of how to help those children; he will need to speak with his grandfather first; once he gets the approval, the next step would be to talk to his older brother Jeff to implement his idea .
===
Grandfather Go was happy to hear Ethan"s idea . " That"s one h.e.l.l of an idea you have there; I"m all for it . Go and make your proposal, present it to your brother and will go from there . " Grandpa Go patted Ethan on his back while grinning from ear to ear .
"So, you"re going to be staying in the Country from now on? You"re not going back to America after the wedding then?" Grandfather Go asks Ethan full of hope .
"It seems that way, at least . Why? You don"t want me to stay?" Ethan worried that his grandfather doesn"t want him around .
"You, rascal! What do you mean I don"t want you to stay . You had just made this old man the happiest, hearing that you will be staying . Hahaha!"
Relief was showing on Ethan"s face after hearing what his grandfather just said . He went to the old man and hugged him . " Thank you! Grandpa . "
Ethan started working on his project . If everything works out, those children would have a real home and have a brighter future ahead of them .

Jeff was in the bathroom taking a shower when his phone started buzzing . Ann saw the light and looked at the caller number . "Hmmm? I wonder who it could be? " She looks at the time and saw it"s past 8:00 p . m . After contemplating she decided to pick-up the call herself . Good thing Jeff does not have a pa.s.sword on his cell phone .
"h.e.l.lo!" Ann answer with her sweet voice .
Ethan was speechless for a moment . He did not expect Ann to answer Jeff"s phone . "h.e.l.lo! Sister-in-law, it"s Ethan, may I speak with bro Jeff please!" Ethan tries to make his voice sound cheerful .
"Oh! Ethan, how are you? He"s taking a shower right now . Is there something I can help you?" Ann asks amicably .
Ethan thought for a moment before replying . "Should I talk to her about my idea or should I wait for big bro?"
"I needed to speak to both of you about a proposal . I wanted to check if it"s ok for me to stop by tonight?"
"Tonight? I will have to check with Jeff; unfortunately, we are getting ready to go to bed, but . . . " Ann didn"t get to finished what she"s about to say . Jeff came out of the bathroom looking like a "male stripper" with only a towel covering his lower body still glistening with water droplets all over his body .
Jeff gave ann a questioning look . "Who?"
Ann put her hand to cover the sound of their conversation . "It"s Ethan!" She whispered back .
As soon as Jeff heard Ethan"s name he s.n.a.t.c.hes the phone out fo Ann"s hand like a thief . " What do you want?" He growls to Ethan who was so engrossed in listening to Ann"s voice .
"Jeff Go! What was that? I would have hand it to you nicely, why do you have to s.n.a.t.c.h it like that . " Ann"s was hurt the way Jeff had acted .
Jeff realizes what he just did; he forgot that Ethan was still on the other line . " I"m sorry! Sweetheart, you know how I am when it comes to you speaking with another male species . "
"But, that"s your brother! I can"t believe you are jealous even with your brother," Ann told Jeff with a high voice .
"Sweetheart, to be honest, I"m afraid that I might even get jealous with my son if we have one . Hehe!" Jeff said sheepishly .To lighten the atmosphere, Don-don invited Ethan to join them for dinner .
