Chapter 218 - Side Story 10.1 (2/2)
”Hello, granny. Is Freya home?” one of the boys said.
”No, she already went back to her province,” said the old woman.
The boys looked at each other and smirked.
”Don't lie to us, granny. We saw her just yesterday. Even with the hood, we know it's her.”
The little boy stood between them and glared at the teenagers. ”If you don't have anything to buy, please leave, or we'll call the cops.”
The boy rose his hands and back a little. ”Woah, little dude. We don't have any ill intentions. We just wanted to see Freya. Is all.”
”What's going on?”
Every eye zeroed at Francisca, holding pots of flowers in her hands. ”Are you guys causing trouble?”
Francisca was indeed beautiful, but she was also intimidating with just her height alone.
The boys' lips were tight before they nodded at the door and quietly went out.
”We'll visit again, granny,” they said and were gone.
”Teenagers,” Francisca said in disdain. She then went towards the old woman and said, ”Are they bothering you?”
The old woman sighed before she said in a helpless tone. ”The truth is, we just moved here, and by chance, they saw my granddaughter. Since then, they've been harassing her. My poor granddaughter couldn't get out anymore.”
Francisca's eyes rounded. ”Wow! Your granddaughter must be a real beauty then.”
Mike looked at Francisca. There was something he wanted to say but kept it to himself.
”Grandma?”
The back door opened, and a woman peeked in. ”Is there a problem? I heard loud voices.”
”Nothing, darling. It's just those boys again,” the old woman said and opened the door revealing a woman donned in a simple dress.
Mike caught his breath. From all the women he met, she was the most beautiful. Her ashen curls changed color to the purest crystal blue. Her face looked so pure, she might be mistaken as an angel. But what caught his attention was her eyes. They were blurry, and she was not blinking.
She was blind.
No wonder those boys seemed bewitched. She was a beauty, alright. One that struck the soul. Or should he say, struck every man's weak point. Her beauty and fragility would make every man go crazy.
”Wow. You're a beauty, alright,” Francisca exclaimed and went straight to Freya. She then looked at her and said, ”There's something wrong with your eyes, though.”
The old woman sighed. ”My granddaughter is blind. She lost her sight since she was little.”
”Eh? That's horrible. Have you consulted a doctor about it? It's such a waste she couldn't see,” Francisca said and waved her hand in front of Freya.
As the old woman and Francisca talked, Mike studied the girl. She was young. He bet in her twenties. She appeared meek and quiet, and the slightest noise made her flinched.
Yep. She'd definitely stirred a man's libido.
