Chapter 209 New Companion! (1/2)

The couple was lying in the bed in Jessy's room in the mansion.

”Jess, just want to ask this why did you decide to offer a gardening job to Grandpa Waldo?” Adam asked.

Jessy shrugged her shoulders. ”After seeing him again I realized that his life will stay the same in the streets for many years, I don't want the day to come that the next time we will see him again he will be lying dead in the cold cemented pavement, that is an awful way to die, I did it out of pity, and besides I also think of Nana Aida, it's very lonely living in that huge mansion without someone to talk to, just think about it—Nana is already old, one day she might feel ill and no one can help her, then there is much work in that house, she can't do all the chores on her own. Putting Grandpa Waldo in the mansion can be a good thing, they can become good friends...for companionship purposes, they have each other to talk to everyday and sharing the workload in the house will be much easier for Nana Aida's side. What do you think?”

Adam hugged Jessy fondly.

”I think your idea is brilliant, for a homeless man who's life is not so promising and suddenly offered with a decent job, his life will finally have a new purpose, his remaining life on earth won't be so dark anymore, I must say that with you're wonderful thinking you were able to kill two birds with one stone and that is changing the life of one homeless guy forever and then give Nana Aida a friend that she can talk to every day in that lonely place,” he said.

”I just hope that they will click well together, what do you think?” Jessy said.

”That is one thing that is out of our control, let's wait and see. I was thinking—maybe you are trying to ship the old folks?” Adam grinned.

Jessy shook her head. ”Not really. Two people of the opposite sex can still be good friends without romance attached. As for Nana Aida and Grandpa Waldo...what they need is to be kind and understanding of one another and work together with harmony every single day, that's not difficult to do, right?”

”Agree, shall we go downstairs now and explained everything to Nana Aida,” he said.

”Ok,” she answered.

They exited the room and went downstairs.

They found Nana Aida in the living room watching TV.

”Nana, we would like to tell you something...” Adam spoke.

Nana Aida paused the show she was watching and faced the couple. ”What is it, guys?”

Jessy sat beside Nana Aida and hold her hands. ”Nana, I'm hiring a gardener for my rose garden and he will be someone you can talk to every day like a friend. He will start working next week, as of now he is in Adam's condo unit. Nana, please be kind to him, he is close to your age, much older than you, we call him Grandpa.”

Nana Aida's brows drew together. ”Where did he come from?”

”We first met him last two years ago in the dark alley rummaging food in the garbage can, he looks so hungry, Adam and I took pity on him so we give him food. Then we saw him again earlier, nothing changed, he was still this pathetic homeless guy, we treat him to a decent meal and it's his birthday. So I'm thinking that this house is so huge for someone like you to live alone, you need a companion here, a friend. Adam and I won't always be around to visit you, so...yeah...having someone to talk to every day is a good thing for you,” Jessy explained.

”So you offered a gardening job to a homeless man?” Nana Aida said.

”Yes, is there any problem, Nana?”
