Chapter 207 Decent Meal (1/2)

Adam saw the hesitation marred the old man's face. He whispered something on grandpa's ears. ”I will buy you clean pants, shoes, and shirt so that you can go with us, how about that?”

The old man shook his head. ”No. That will be too much to ask coming from someone that has no value like me,” he said not wanting to impose on them.

Jessy smiled at the old man. ”Don't worry Grandpa, it's okay, just wait over there in the corner we will be back shortly—okay?” she said.

The old man nodded, he waited in the corner, waiting patiently for the couple to come back, not expecting anything though.

Jessy and Adam went inside the nearest men's clothing store and brought two shirts, one pair of men sandals, two pants, a belt, and clean underwear.

”Were not sure with the size but I think these clothes will do fine,” Adam said.

”I think it will fit him just right, you and Grandpa have nearly the same height and body built,” Jessy said, they paid in cash their purchases in the counter.

They exited the store and went to the place where they saw the old man, they saw him sitting on the cemented pavement waiting for them.

”Grandpa, we brought you some clothes, here they are, it's all yours!” Adam said and gently placed the shopping bag on the old man's hands.

The old man took a peek inside the bag and his smile is brighter than ever. ”Thank you, kids! There are public toilet and bath nearby, can I go there and have a bath first?” his eyes were sparkling.

”No problem Grandpa—can you see that restaurant a few blocks from here, there is a table outside and some people are eating there, we will wait for you there, just come when you're ready, okay? Take your time, we are not in a hurry and we're not going anywhere,” Adam said.

”Okay, thank you so much, kids! You're so kind!” the old grandpa took the shopping bag with him and disappeared into the alley.

Jessy and Adam proceed to the restaurant, there's not much customer during this time, they chose a table for four outside the establishment with a nice umbrella shielding the patrons from the heat of the sun, it's a nice cozy restaurant.

Jessy looked at the menu. ”I will order my foods, you also order your foods and we will just think of any delicious dishes that Grandpa will love to eat...” she said looking at the menu list.

After Jessy chose her food, it's now Adam's turn to chose the meal on the menu list, he chose two meals with three dishes each for him and the old man.

”This will be like a feast for sure, I kind of feel hungry,” Adam said, about to take his wallet from the pocket of his jacket...

But Jessy stopped him. ”Allow me to pay our orders in the counter, it's my treat, I will treat you...guys!” Jessy said wearing a smug smile on her face. She went inside and pay their orders to the cashier.

Jessy went back to Adam's side. ”The cashier said that we have to wait for fifteen minutes for our orders to be delivered in our table, so let's wait a bit,” she said.

”No problem, Grandpa still not here...while waiting let's take a selfie!” Adam grinned. He took his mobile phone from his trousers pocket.

Jessy and Adam make a pose in front of the camera, then they stared at each other, laughing silly.

A few minutes later.

An old man was standing in front of them.

”Hello kids!” he greeted the couple.

Jessy and Adam looked at the old man...WOW... it's no other than the homeless guy!

”Wow, you look different Grandpa! no offense meant,” Adam explained.

”Thanks to the clean clothes you give me, son, I look like a decent human being now,” the old man said teary-eyed.

”Please, have a seat, Grandpa!” Jessy pointed at the chair in front of them, marveling at grandpa's huge transformation now that he was wearing clean clothes and had a shower.
