Chapter 97


    “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 cost 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


    out 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 got old.


    None of them would’ve imagined this at that 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.


    The garden was well–managed. It was clean, and the air was fresh, too.


    When they almost arrived at the dining room, Gloria answered a call, “You’ve arrived? It’s toote


    now. Wait outside. Skr will go to you. You two should head straight to the hot spring resort.”


    After hanging up the phone, Glória turned to look at Skr. “Skye, Joe’s here and waiting outside.


    You should go look for him now. ll have a good chat with George. You cane pick me up


    tomorrow.”


    “Go ahead.” George chuckled as he waved.


    It was great to be young. Even if it were just unrequited love, it would be unforgettable.


    “I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting old, but I envy the youngsters sometimes,” Georgemented


    as he looked at Gloria after Skr had left.


    Gloria seemed to be reminiscing about something. “Right. We were fearless back then. And we


    could just 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.“–
