Chapter 1057 The Colonel (1/2)

In the afternoon of the next day, Carla went to meet Uncle James and his wife Cheryl at a tea house.

When she got there, they had already gotten a table as they waited for her.

It didn't come as a surprise that the couple Carla spotted had their heads now filled with grey hair, looking much older than she remembered when she last saw them many years ago. However, despite the changes dictated by time, Carla promptly noticed their manners were at their finest. As soon as she approached the table, the couple didn't hesitate to offer her a warm and polite smile.
