Actually, from the beginning, she had hoped Lorne and Emily Simpson would interact more, and she did have her own motives.
Lorne, as a child, was very resistant to communicating with other strangers, but when he was with Emily Simpson, although he was cold and unresponsive, at least he wouldn't resist...
So, she actually wished Lorne would listen more to what Emily Simpson had to say about school, hoping that it would change his views about schooling.
However, it seemed that so far, there hadn't been any success.
The lad was still focused, rapidly writing his test papers...
Michelle Campbell shook her head and then turned to look at Emily Simpson.
"Let's go downstairs for some dessert, Stella is eating."
Hearing dessert, Emily Simpson quickly nodded her head, happily following Michelle Campbell.
As the two of them left, Lorne, who was writing his papers, paused for a moment and let out a breath.
