Chapter 1246


    On the other side, there were several tomatoes. The tomatoes had already dried up, except for


    some purple ones hanging on the branches. They looked a little old, probably because they weren''t


    picked for a long time.


    I was really bored. Seeing that there were some weeds in the garden, I couldn''t help but stretch my


    hands out to get rid of them. When I heard footsteps behind me, I thought it was Tobias. Hence, I


    didn''t turn around. I opened my mouth and said, "Did you nt all these? I didn''t expect you, a


    cynical young master, to be so down-to-earth."


    I didn''t hear any reply, so I stayed silent. However, when I turned around, I saw a woman, probably


    in her forties. She was wearing a grey chiffon shirt, a pair of ck wide-legged pants, and a pair of


    t shoes that had mud on them. It seemed that she had just stepped on mud.


    With a basket in her hand, a sunhat on her head, she looked at me and gave me soft smile. "Are


    you Tobias'' friend?"


    I was taken aback. I tried to figure out who that woman was, and who was she to Tobias. At Hayes


    Manor, I heard Monica saying that Tobias'' mother was a model. She should be in her fifties. Hence,


    the woman before my eyes shouldn''t be Tobias'' mother.


    Was she his elder sister or aunt?


    I walked out of the vegetable garden, looked at her with a small smile, and said, "Hello, is this


    garden yours? It''s very well taken care of!"


    The woman smiled softly and handed me a bunch of grapes from the basket. "Try some. I just


    picked them. There''s no pesticide. You can eat it without any worry," she said.


    I took the grapes from her with a smile and took a bite. My eyes widened, and I couldn''t stop


    smiling. "This grape is so sweet. Did you grow them?"


    She nodded and smiled. "I nted themst year, and picked them today. Not bad, right?" Then,


    she looked at the weeds that were pulled out by me. "Do you also like gardening? I''ve been thinking


    about cleaning up these weeds for a few days now, but I''ve been too busy recently and it slipped my


    mind. Thank you!"


    I shook my head with a smile and said, "These vegetables are a little old. We can only keep them


    as seeds. They can''t be eaten anymore."


    She nodded and put the basket aside. She looked at me as she said, "Are you interested in taking


    care of this garden with me? All the vegetables have to be picked. Then, we have to take out the


    seeds and dry them, and wait till next year to nt them."


    I agreed. It was really hard for me to sit around and wait for the news. I wanted to find something to


    do to distract my attention.


    After chatting for a while, I learned that the woman''s name was Yulia. She told me that she lived in


    the yard, and asionally took care of the flowers and nts in the yard to kill time. I thought that


    she was probably a gardener hired by Tobias.


    Together, we picked all the vegetables in the garden, and then took out all the seeds in the


    vegetables. After washing them, we put them out to dry. There was not much work to do, but it was


    very healing.


    Maybe it was the process of picking every ripe vegetable and putting them in the basket. It was very


    satisfying to look at the basket being filled slowly. We washed and cut the cucumbers one by one,


    and scooped out all the seeds with a spoon. After we were done, we washed them and dried them. I


    didn''t need to think about anything. All I had to do was concentrate on what I was doing.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
