Chapter 70 Helicopter Ride . Avery. In the Hotel lobby I meet uncle Orin, and he takes us to Newport beach. "Aren't you joining us?" I ask while getting out of the car, and he laughs it off. He has lived away from his family all his life and meets them once or twice a year. His wife died decades ago, and he never married again. It does make me wonder if uncle Orin has a girlsister. I have seen older people dating, but I rarely notice Uncle Orin go out of the house, let alone date.

Although I remember a woman he liked. At least I got a vibe that they liked each other. She was the head of gardening. But after coming back here, I didn't see her around. Wouldn't it be fun to mess with him? I grin, making a plan in my head. "Orin has invited his daughter to the states," Dad tells me once we walk towards the helipad. "Oh!" I know he is from Russia and his whole life he has worked for the good of his family. He sacrificed so they could have better opportunities in their life.

I sometimes used to talk to his daughter over video calls. He insisted so she could improve her English. Although I never understood why he didn't invite his family before. "What about his son?" "He didn't want to come." Dad replies and I nod. From Newport beach we hop onto a helicopter to make our way to Catalina island. I am traveling with Dad and Joy. Della left an hour ago with Ethan and his family. Dad is sitting in the middle, with me and Joy on sides.

So he can keep us from pulling each other's hair. "Don't we own a helicopter, dad?" I ask over the noise canceling headphones and he laughs. "What!" I ask, almost embarrassed. I always thought helicopters were cool. Even wearing a huge headphone covering my ears feels like a pilot. Who needs thousands of hours of flying practice when you can get the vibes just by wearing the giant headphones. "Are you trying to hit a sore nerve?" He says, and I frown.

"What do you mean?" He goes quiet, then asks, "Didn't you know I always wanted to?" "I-"I look at him speechless, and try to think. 1 Viabad Him Out from My World 63.3% Chapter 70 Was it his dream… or my dream to own a helicopter? "I never realized you wanted it, too. I always thought I was the one pestering you." Then why haven't we bought it yet? "We can afford it, right?" I ask and Joy snorts. God, I want to push her out.
