Chapter 190 - Delilah’s Plan (1/2)

”How long were you in Country U? Five, six years?” Melanie asked while pouring tea for the guest.

”Mmm, six years. I have been so caught up in work during that period and hadn't found the time to come back to visit auntie.” Delilah replied with a courteous tone.

”It really has been a long time since I have last seen you,” Melanie got a good look at the girl who was the same age as her son. ”You have gotten prettier over the years, Delilah.”

It was as Melanie had said, during the past six years, other than working on the software development project at Bapple, Delilah had spent her rest time in the gym and perfecting the art of cooking. It was her way of de-stressing which as a result, allowed her to maintain a slender and fit figure.

”Thank you for the compliments auntie. You look like you have not aged one bit too.”

”Oh stop it..” Melanie said embarrassingly.

”Its the truth auntie. When have I lied to you?”

The pair of ladies made small talk and got to hear about what they had been up to in the past few years. Delilah's trip to Country Y was actually coincidental. Other than wanting to meet up with Gray's mother, she had plans to take the Underwater railway to Country Z. That was where her true final destination was.

”So, why did you quit your job? Was the work too stressful?” Melanie asked curiously.

”No, work was fine before I planned to leave,” Delilah shook her head, ”I guess I simply wanted a new perspective? I want to start a new chapter in my life.”

”Mmm. And that is?”

”I want to get married, auntie.” The 29 year old was straightforward when she spoke to Melanie.

”Oh? Do you have a potential suitor in Country Z?” This got the older lady curious.

”No, but I am interested in your oldest son, Gray.” Delilah did not mince the words that came out of her mouth.

”Delilah,” Hearing her answer, Melanie knew that she had to interject in on her plans, ”You should know that my son, Gray is gay right?”
