Attempting to direct the topic another way, I start with asking more about Philippines since he seems to be enjoying his stay here. Good for him.
"There are many tourists here," I mutter as I assess the whole place. "Is it always like this here in this place?"
"I don't know. I don't usually go here; only when I meet up with Alice and Jasper. But, yeah, there are many tourists here in this region. Some are even able to find partners and start a family."
"Lucky them."
He snorts. "Hell, I was able to find one in my own country but she just divorced me," I hear him whisper.
"Excuse me?" I look at him in shock. I can't believe what I just heard. Did he really believe I won't be able to hear that?
He looks at me innocently. "What?"
"Oh, my God, Edward," I exclaim, feeling my temper starting to rise. "You have gotta be kidding me."
"What? What did I do?"
I fight back the urge to groan, and close my eyes. "I'm tired. Let's go home."
Uh oh.
