Chapter 209 New Companion! (2/2)
Nana Aida shook her head. ”Not really, I had to admit that having another extra person here is welcome...but are you sure this man can be trusted? As long he is not a psycho, killer or a thief then I'm okay with him living here,” she said feeling skeptical with the whole thing.
There was a momentary silence between them.
Jessy scratches her head she didn't think about that factor. Can they trust Grandpa Waldo? She looked at Adam, he looked back at her, they did not discuss these things beforehand they were just acting on impulse and Nana Aida just raised a critical issue to consider before going ahead in hiring the old man they took from the street.
Adam was thinking deeply about the issue being raised by Nana Aida. ”Hmm, good point you raised, Nana. Although I'm not a good judge of character I can sense that Grandpa Waldo is a good man. He can't be a psycho because...to be a killer you need to have all kinds of resources, house, jobs, money or permanent jobs to be able to allow you in buying killing tools and have enough time to hunt for victims, as you can see Grandpa is already weak and has been living in the streets for many years, most homeless people living in the street their primary and immediate needs is how to find foods to sustain their hunger to continue living and survive another day, I know the feeling because I also live a homeless life for a few months. Anyways, Grandpa will live with Caden and me for one week in my place so we will be able to observe his character, if I see something wrong with him, we will put him back in the street, no question ask,” he said.
Nana Aida nods her head. ”That's a good idea, as for me, as long his character is okay, I have no problem working with him here in the house. As long he is a good person I will take care of him,” she said.
Jessy and Adam smiled at each other.
”Regarding your secret guys? How you will explain that to him?” Nana Aida added.
Jessy's mouth twitched. ”We won't tell him about us...not yet. If he can prove to us that he can be trusted, then one day he will know our secret but what really important right now is that we are willing to give him a new life direction, a brand new start, let's just hope that he will value our good intention and live peacefully with you Nana, the moment he will give problems to you we won't hesitate to bring him back to the street,” she said.
”Okay—I guess you kids have already planned everything, so let see...” Nana Aida said.
”Thanks for your cooperation, Nana, we will go back upstairs now,” Adam spoke.
”Are you guys gonna sleep here?”
”Yes we will, but tomorrow morning I will be back to the condo for work commitments. But Jessy here will spend breakfast with you, Nana,” Adam explained.
”Okay, goodnight kids!” she said.
”Goodnight, Nana,” Jessy said.
Adam and Jessy suddenly looked at each other.
The couple raced to the stairs, Adam was already at the top of the stairs in minutes. Jessy was laughing hard at the foot of the stairs.
”You cheated!” Jessy shouted at Adam.
Adam shrugged his shoulders.
Nana Aida looked at the young couple smiling while shaking her head, well...some things never changed.
