Chapter 278: Finally Made A Good Friend (2/2)

”I know they can be too choosy at times, but they are good people, Auntie NIm.” Elena spoke up as she couldn't stand her caretaker talking bad about her other friends. She knew that the caretaker only meant good for her, but she loved her friends too much to listen to anything bad about them from anyone, including her family.

”Yeah, yeah!” The caretaker gave her an eye roll before shifting her attention back to the boy. ”I am sorry about the rude interruption by her. Let me know if I can do anything to make up for it and the damage done to your clothing and shoes.” She added in a polite tone. Even though from his manners only she could tell that he belonged to some noble family, but she still had to put her offer forward.

”He won't take it.” Elena interrupted them again and answered for him. ”I already asked him that, and he won't budge from his decision.” She shrugged her lean shoulders before getting off the ground. ”Let's go back home, Auntie Nim. I need to change and freshen up first before I can eat the corn dog you bought for me.” She added pointing towards the paper bag in her hand.

The boy who was being interrupted again and again by the little lady, followed suit and got off the ground as well. Extending his right hand towards her, he bid her goodbye. ”I hope to see you around, Elena. And you better keep yourself warm after getting home, or else you might end up with the flu.” He added when he saw her taking his extended hand.

”Oh! I surely will. You should also hurry home and get changed as soon as possible. Don't forget to have something warm too, a soup or some ginger tea will do you some good.” Elena spoke up in her cheery tone as she gave his extended hand a firm shake. ”I hope to see you around.” Giving him her signature smile one last time, the girl skipped away with her caretaker in tow.

Even after she was no longer in his line of sight, he continued to stand in the same spot, rooted to the ground. A little while later, the corners of his lips turned upwards in a bright smile and he couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud. It was the first time someone had managed to do this to him, and it was also the first time that someone had been this much stupid before him.

The more he recalled about her expressions and her struggle to keep herself afloat in just waist deep water, the harder it was for him to stop himself from laughing.

”Young Master? Are you alright?” A man who was dressed in a white uniform spoke up in a low voice. He had just arrived to inform his Young Master about the call he had received a couple of minutes ago from his father. But the thought escaped his mind as soon as his eyes landed on the boy's laughing figure.

”Oh! Yes, yes. I am completely fine. Let's go back home, Dad must already be worrying about us, as to what is taking us so long. It's almost evening.” The boy spoke up in between his breaths as he tried to calm himself down.
