NovelEnglish"Oswald! My name's Oswald."
The look in Felicity's eyes was enough for him to realize she had otten.
But it was no big deal, they were just acquaintances after a chance meeting.
Felicity let out an awkward laugh, "Sorry, my memory has always been a bit like a sieve."
"No worries. Are you here on vacation?"
"No, | wasing back from the Arctic and had a layover here for a day."
"Oh!" Oswald, sensing she might head out, cautioned, "It's getting dark outside."
After all, this was a foreign country, and she was a young woman.
Not safe.
"Yeah, | know." Felicity felt her eyesight wasn't that bad.
Oswald paused, then said softly, "Wait for me, I'll walk you down the street."
"Ah? That's really not necessary. I'm fine on my own."

wouldn't want to see you in the news tomorrow."
Oswald wasn't lying.
Although he did find Felicity quite appealing, he wasn't about to lie to a young lady.
Felicity had thought, given Oswald's eagerness, he'd be a chatterbox.
But once they hit the streets, he truly played the part of a bodyguard, keeping quiet behind her.
She wasn't in the mood to make conversation, either.
Her eyes scanned the people and shops around her, but her thoughts were elsewhere—pondering whether to return hfor
Abigail's wedding.
Not going would, as her mother said, truly hurt people's feelings.
But going...
That meant seeing Langston was inevitable.
No avoiding it.
"Oswald."
"Hmm?" Caught off guard by her sudden call, Oswald quickly stepped closer. "What's up?"
"Where are you from? | bump into you in Eldorria City, then in Anglonia, and now Brusylon?"
Oswald chuckled, his demeanor somewhat goofy.
"Must be fate! I'm based in Anglonia, but work takesto Eldorria City and Brusylon."
"Oh... Your family's in Anglonia?"
"Yeah, Londoria."
Felicity nodded slightly, then fell silent.
Oswald pressed on, "You missing home?"
"Ah? How did you guess?"
Thatment wasn’t particularly funny, but Felicity found herself wanting to laugh.
She thought... Oswald was kind of simple in an endearing way.
In a good sense, simple.

Walking with him, Felicity quickly felt tired.
Her strength hadn't fully returned after her illness.
Back at the hotel, Felicity waved at Oswald, "Thanks for today."
"No big deal! I'd just be lying around in my room otherwise."
She smiled, watching Oswald head to the elevator, then settled into a couch in the hotel lobby, dialing her mom.
"Mom, Abigail's getting married. I'ming home."
"Really? That's wonderful! Your dad and | will get to see you again!"
"Missthat much?" Felicity smirked, "lI haven't been gone that long."
Karen chuckled, "Hehe, I'm actually okay, it's more your dad."
"l knew it!"
"Mhm..."
