Chapter 44 Town festival 1 (2/2)

”It looks like you really are excited, haha.” Grandpa patted my head. ”This is the first time I saw you smile like that.”

”Really?” I said. I know that I seldom smile. But this last few days I just feel that my life is turning for the better.

”You and Leon will pose as siblings.” Grandpa said. ”Leon, guard my granddaughter well.”

”Do not worry general Robert.” Leon said. ”She is in my capable hands.”

”That hands are what I am afraid of.” Grandpa murmured to himself.

”I beg your pardon general. Did you say something?” Leon asked.

”Oh no, no. I didn't say anything. Haha.” Grandpa lied.

'Meow'

Snow was rubbing her body on my feet.

”Oh Snow.” I picked her up. ”I'm sorry, I can't take you with me.”

'Meow'

Her meow was like she was sad that she can't come.

”Aww I'm sorry.” I hugged her. ”Do not worry, I am sure to take home some treat for you from the festival.”

'Meow' snow rubbed herself on my face.

”Haha I know, I know. You are welcome.” I said. It was as if I can understand every bit of Snow's action.

”Well now the sun is up in the sky. Let us go little sister.” Leon offered his arm.

”Okay big brother.” I take his arm and smiled at him.

”Remember to take her home once the fireworks are done.” Grandpa said.

Leon said the fireworks will be lit at seven in the evening. It was still early to go home but I won't object. Just by going outside gives me great joy, even if it is only for a while.

”Do not worry general.” Leon said. ”I will bring her back in one piece.”

”See you later grandpa and thank you.” I have him a peck on his cheek and smiled at him. ”Good bye.” I waved my hand.

Leon and I walked away. Grandpa looked at us in a daze.

”This was the first time Alicia gave me a kiss.” Grandpa said. ”Hahaha, that's goo. She is starting to move like her age. Not the old her that is only silent and doesn't smile.”

He smiled at the retreating figure of us.
