Chapter 647 Let Me Stay With You Tonight (1/2)
”Of course! I adore him!” Avery admitted without giving it much thought. ”From the first time my eyes had the delight of getting a full sight of Moore in school, I could not help falling in love with him.”
”During your school days? So you guys were classmates back then!” Olin seemed very delighted with her words and the way she was conducting herself today. ”You must have been having a crush on him for a very long time, right?”
”Yeah! It has stretched over eight long years!” Avery quickly replied.
”Oh, that long?” The old man seemed surprised. His wrinkled forehead seemed to add a few wrinkles more. He turned to Moore and questioned, ”What took you kids so long to get together?”
”That's because...” A wry smile curved the corners of Moore's lips. ”I wasn't planning to start a relationship back then, so this was how it went...” he offered hastily.
”Oh! I see!” Olin nodded to depict his approval. He seemed to sense a little bit more about what was going on between them than what it all seemed to be.
He cherished the time he spent with them, especially when Avery's little face blushed and turned red when he asked her something. She was shy, but she still managed to answer the queries in a polite and thoughtful way.
”Moo-moo, make sure that you are nice to her at all times,” Olin asked his grandson in a firm but tender mannerism.
”You have my word, grandpa. I sure will,” Moore answered in a haste, nodding his head.
Olin was finally pleased with these two little kids. He let out wide grin at them and said, ”Okay, I will leave you young people alone. Enjoy your time together. Also, Moo-moo, the guest rooms have been tidied up for your friends. You should consider asking them to stay if they wish to stay over tonight.”
After finishing his words, Olin waved at the kids and walked slowly toward the end of the hallway.
Moore's face prepared for another wry smile. He looked at Zed and Jean, and apologized, ”I am really sorry for tonight. It was like a joke, and you were not supposed to see this. I hadn't given it much thought.”
”A joke?” Zed shook his head expressing wilful discontent. ”You know what? Seeing your grandfather reminded me of mine. Old people are so alike. They could go on and on for the entire day spreading care and love, which makes it very hard for us to resist and ignore.”
”Yeah, that's indeed true. If it wasn't for my grandpa, I wouldn't bother moving back home at all,” Moore announced, agreeing momentarily with Zed. ”Even though I know that whatever had happend in the past was my grandpa's fault, I still can't afford to be mad at him.”
”That's totally understandable. I would say, I feel you. But, Moore, remember this, we will always have your back, no matter what decision you are going to make,” Zed concluded.
”Thank you so much guys. Thank you for understanding me and being kind to me.” A wide smile emerged on Moore's face after being encouraged by Zed.
”Stop being formal, Moore. You've got that tendency rising these days. Okay, it's getting late. I and Zed should be heading home now. I am not very much in the mood to stay here tonight.” Jean blinked at Moore as a signal and turned to Avery to say, ”But Avery, your place is way too far from ours. Since you're alone, why don't you stay here tonight? Moore has had enough and more from the drama today. I definitely think he should need someone's company.”
”Actually, I...” h
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams.
