10 Adopt? (2/2)
'Hmm... I can stretch and bend them just as easy, but there is no feeling from it.'- Ozul thought after trying out his prosthetic arms and left leg.
”Convenient.”- Ozul said out loud as this was the only reason he needed them.
Old Carol was at least expecting Ozul to try out his new arms excitingly, but listening to his bland exclamation ruined her fantasies. Just a cute smile on his face would have been enough, but Alas seeing his smile, is not so easy.
”Oh, Thank you so much, Mr. Smith! You gave me not only your precious time but also used such rare materials, and that too without asking anything in return!”- Old Carol thanked Mr. Smith.
”Hahaha... there is no need for thanks between us, Miss Carol, anything for you.” - Mr. Smith again with the flattering smile on his face. He was getting a bit embarrassed now.
”Fufufu... I would have stayed to repay you somehow if only I were not busy!”- Old Carol went out together with Ozul. Mr. Smith was left behind, lost in his old lewd fantasies about Carol.
. . .
Outside the house, Ozul faced Old Carol and stopped.
”Thanks.”- Ozul expressed his thanks to Carol as he now knew that it would have cost him quite a sum to get the prosthetics.
”You don't have anywhere to live, right? If you want to repay me, come live with me!” - Old Carol had decided to adopt this lifeless doll of a boy! So, she struck when the iron was hot!
Carol may be old but looked just in her mid-fifties! She always wanted a child of her own, and this was her opportunity!
But listening to how the old lady wanted him to repay using his body, Ozul stared at her for a moment and then,
He started moving his right hand towards the other hand's foundation and tried to disconnect the arm!
Seeing his behavior, Carol quickly stopped him!
”Hey, hey! What are you doing? I won't make you work for me or anything! I just want to adopt you!!!”- Carol quickly explained herself, seeing that he won't stop otherwise.
Ozul finally stopped.
'Adopt? Hmm... I may consider it if I get to live in her house. Some sleep is just what I need. Booking a room in an inn would be a bother.'- Ozul seriously began to consider her offer. It is not like he will lose anything. After thinking for a while, he gave his reply.
”My freedom and privacy?”- The meaning was clear; Ozul would not compromise on his privacy and especially his freedom anymore!
”Of course, but you will have to call me Grandma! And you will not bring a girl into the house without first introducing her to me!”- Old Carol stated her conditions. She forgot that he was just a six years old kid!
Ozul just nodded his head in agreement. For him, it was more like a deal. He gets to sleep comfortably, while Carol gets a grandkid.
Coming into an agreement, Carol quickly went to hug Ozul. But Ozul promptly stepped to the side, narrowingly dodging it.
”Hmph! Come here, young man! You are my grandkid now! I have full rights to your hug!”- Carol exclaimed. She just did not seem like an old lady in her early sixties!
After a few minutes of struggle, he was finally caught. Ozul was not yet used to the prosthetics.
”Aww! Look at you, shying away from the hug!”- Old Carol thought that Ozul was just shy.
Anyways, after the 'scuffle,' they walked towards Carol's house.
It was just around the corner. In a minute, Ozul was standing in front of a prominent house.
The house stood in the back as, before him, there was a gate that allowed entry to the garden. There was a walking path in the middle that leads to the front door of the house. From the sides, the garden was surrounded by wooden fences.
The garden surrounding the house was tranquil; there were many beautiful flowers planted in it. A few fruit trees also scattered here and there.
”Beautiful, right! I sell flowers from this garden. No one lived with me, so my expenses were quite low. Hence, I put all the money into building the garden.”- Carol explained as Ozul was staring at the flowers.
Ozul replied with just a weak nod. Right now, He could not care any less about the garden; he needed an urgent nap right now! It was already noon; The sun was over his head!
