With his head down, he held his mother’s hand and played with her fingers as usual.
It appeared like he really didn’t care or worry about his father.

More and more cars gathered around it.

“Are you hungry, Joey?” Rachel asked him a question when he least expected it.

“Maybe we will be stuck here for a while.
Let us get out of the car in order to get something to eat.
There is a snack shop over there.”
Joey looked hesitant for a while.
He pressed his Lips against each other.
But after that, he nodded his head in agreement.
