Chapter 64 Grandpa
"I'll go first. You can go back. I will bring you some local specialties when I come back. What do you
want to eat? I won't forget to bring them with me when I come back." Gail wore a thick down jacket and
her fair skin made her face more beautiful.
Iris thought that this girl with freckles under her chin looked angular in the past week. Iris believed it
was all James's fault!
"Let me accompany you to the train. I'm afraid that you will be crowded by so many people." Hoyle was
from a rich family. He always took plane and never went to a train station. Gail had never offered Hoyle
any chance to drive her home before. But today, she made the offer because he had taken care of her
recently.
"Don't bother. It's impossible for you two to get out through the crowd. It's not my first time to take a
train. I am about to graduate. Do you think I won't be able to take a train? You can go back. Bye." It
was time for boarding gate checking. Gail had no time for chatting.
Seeing Gail's happy smile, Iris couldn't help hugging her and said, "Remember to send me a message
when you arrive home."
"Well, if there is a signal." Gail dared not pay any compliment to the signal tower of her village. She had
been treating it as a joke.
Iris smiled. "Then come to the top of the mountain and call me!"
With a smile, Hoyle stretched out his arms and said, "You have hugged her. Please give me a hug." His
eyes were gentle and bright, like a child waiting for a teacher's award.
Gail and Iris burst into laughter.
Embarrassed, Hoyle scratched his head and said, "Okay. Forget it. You don't hold me, and you laugh at
me. You are so ungrateful!"
Looking at Hoyle reaching out his arms, Gail said, "It is just a hug. I'll hug you. We're just laughing at
the look on your face. It's so… Cute!"
Hoyle hugged Gail happily. It was the first time for them to be so intimate.
"See you next year," Gail responded after patting Hoyle on the back gently.
Iris and Hoyle waved at Gail and watched her walking into the crowd, "See you next year."
Standing in front of a luxurious car not far away, James saw that Gail laughed happily when she and
Hoyle hugged. She seemed to have forgotten what had happened before. James's heart was clenched
tightly. He had to admit that Gail was getting farther away from him.
After getting in the car, the driver felt the atmosphere in the car suddenly froze. He had known that Mr.
James liked Gail very much, and she was the only woman who could get in James's car freely. But
now, she was with someone else.
Recently, Mr. James asked him to check Gail's train ticket. Mr. James's assistant told him that no one
dared to offend Mr. James in the company. Otherwise, he would be fired. Three gossiping female
employees, in particular, seemed to have left.
"Let's go!" James said lightly. The driver quickly got rid of his random thoughts and concentrated on
driving, or he would be the next dismissed person.
After Gail went back, Iris also went back home, and everything went smoothly.
On the train, Gail met some villagers, so they talked a lot along the way. She felt very sad and lonely
before, but luckily they drove away her bad mood.
"You are Gail, right? I've met you before. I heard that you refused the most handsome boy in our
school. You have brought glory on our clan! Those schoolgirls, especially those came from the city,
looked at us with contempt, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of the handsome boy in the
college." One of the girls commented as she ate the sunflower seeds.
Sitting next to the girl was her boyfriend. He smoothed her bangs and smiled at her while listening to
them.
Gail smiled awkwardly. "Nonsense. I'm not charming like that."
"Why not? I don't believe that it is a rumor when I see you. I have heard the gossips from those well-
dressed girls. They think you are a thorn in their flesh. Especially the mayor's daughter, Melissa. Have
you heard of her?" This girl was one grade lower than Gail. She had a good-looking face with simple
clothes.
Gail smiled faintly, "She is in our class, and of course I know her."
The girl was instantly embarrassed. Her boyfriend tried to mediate, "Don't mind what she said. It's just
hearsay. Don't take it seriously."
Gail smiled gently, "I'm glad that she can talk that. Melissa always put me in an awkward situation. I'm
used to it."
That girl echoed, "I knew it. She's not easy to deal with. Luckily, you're about to graduate. Otherwise,
you will still be vexed."
Hearing what she said, Gail felt much more relaxed. She only remembered that the girl, who was
usually lively, was named Angela Li.
It was dark when Gail got off the train. They took her to the taxi in the town and took the license plate
number.
Warm feelings welled up in Gail's heart. She had been so busy that she had never been to a party with
country folk. She didn't know that the villagers were so enthusiastic. During the four years in college, Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
she seemed to have missed a lot of things because of her busy work.
But it was not too late.
When Gail arrived at the town, she sent a message to Angela Li, telling her that she arrived at home
safely. Even if they forgot, she didn't want to live up to them, so she told them she was safe.
When she arrived at the gate, it was already late. Gail thought her grandfather would be very happy.
Gail knocked on the door and said, "Grandpa, I'm back." She had called grandpa and he must be
waiting for her.
As Gail expected, she heard the dog in her family, Andre, running to the door as soon as she knocked
on the door. The old wooden door creaked, "Is Gai back?"
"Yes, I come back. Grandpa." Hearing the voice of her grandfather, for some reason, Gail's eyes were
filled with tears all of a sudden.
The door opened, her grandpa laughed happily with the flashlight, "Gai, it's so late now. I remember
that you had to stay in the town for a night before. It's hard to walk through dark road, why do you come
back so soon?" He blamed her for not safe for a girl walking alone the night road.
Gai took her grandfather's arm and closed the door. "Grandpa, I miss you very much. I want to come
back to see you soon. I don't want to go to the town and stay in uncle's house. They are going to deal
with family matters. It is not good for me to stay there.
"Okay, okay, you're back. Ha-ha!" Grandpa walked happily. The dog Andre ran happily under Gail's feet
and put its forelegs on her legs from time to time.
"Andre, I'm back. Have you taken good care of grandpa?" Gail lowered her head to touch Andre's
head, which immediately fell to the ground and wanted her to tickle it.
Gail turned her head and wiped her tears, because she could feel that her grandpa walked slower and
had less flesh on his arms.
When they went back to the room, the lights in it were still so dim, because grandpa wanted to save the
electricity, and didn't like to use high-wattage light bulbs. Gail couldn't change his mind. Her grandpa
told her that he went to bed early and the light bulbs were just decorations.
