Chapter <b>97</b>
“Okay, okay. I’m old, and my memory is getting bad. I prepared a gift before you came.” George chuckled as he walked to a cupboard. Then, he pulled out the drawer and took out a box.
“Open it up and have a look,” he urged.
It was a token of appreciation from an elder, so Skr didn’t turn him down.
She opened it up and saw an emerald bracelet. The quality was excellent, and it surely <b>cost </b>a fortune.
“This is too valuable…” Skr said. She dared not ept such a valuable gift. After all, she had only helped him to authenticate his collections.
“It’s a gift from George. Just ept it. It’s his token of appreciation.” Gloria gestured for Skr to ept the gift, as it was merely an emerald bracelet.
Gloria had many simr bracelets. Once they were home, Gloria would let Skr pick a few and wear a different one on different days.
Georgeughed and said, “It’s nothing. Just take it.”
After listening to them, Skr could only nod and ept the gift. “Thank you, Mr. Querbach.”
“Let’s go and eat. I told them to prepare the dishes with the vegetables I nted.” George walked <b>out </b>of the building and led the way.
Skr helped Gloria to walk. She could tell Gloria was slightly tired after a series of events that day.
“Are those vegetables nted by you edible? I’ve juste out of the hospital. I don’t want to get admitted again,” Gloria teased.
No one would’ve expected the young George, who used to be a mercenary, would start farming when he <b>got </b>old.
None of them would’ve imagined this at <b>that </b>time.
“I’ve been eating the vegetables I nted this year. I’ve not used any fertilizer, and they’re all organic.” George appeared more gentle as he talked about the vegetables he nted.
Skr smiled as she watched the two argue. She was also enjoying the views.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The garden was well–managed. It was clean, and the air was fresh<b>, </b>too.
When they almost arrived at the dining room, Gloria answered a call, “You’ve arrived? It’s toote <b>now</b>. Wait outside. Skr will go to you. You two should head straight to the hot spring resort<b>.</b>”
After hanging up the phone, Glória turned to look at Skr. “Skye, Joe’s here and waiting <b>outside</b><b>. </b><b>You </b>should go look for him now. ll have a good chat with George. You cane pick me up <b>tomorrow</b>.”
“Go ahead.” George chuckled as he waved.
It was <b>great </b>to be young. Even <b>if </b><b>it </b>were just <b>unrequited </b><b>love</b>, it <b>would </b><b>be </b><b>unforgettable</b>.
“I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting old, but I envy the youngsters sometimes,” George <bmented </b><b>as </b>he looked <b>at </b>Gloria after Skr had left.
Gloria seemed to be reminiscing about something. “Right. We were fearless back then. And we <b>could </b><b>just </b>let things slide with a smile even if we were hurt terribly. Look at us now. We’re old.”
“Does Joe like Skye?” George asked.
Gloria scoffed and replied, “I don’t know who he took after. I bet he wouldn’t have gotten married if I hadn’t brought Skye to him.“–
