NovelEnglishChapter 97 "Okay, okay. I'm old, and my memory is getting bad. I prepared a gift before you came." George chuckled as he walked to a cupboard. Then, he pulled out the drawer and took out a box.
"Open it up and have a look," he urged.

She opened it up and saw an emerald bracelet. The quality was excellent, and it surely cost a fortune.

"It's a gift from George. Just accept it. It's his token of appreciation." Gloria gestured for Skylar to accept the gift, as it was merely an emerald bracelet.
Gloria had many similar bracelets. Once they were home, Gloria would let Skylar pick a few and wear a different one on different days.
George laughed and said, "It's nothing. Just take it." After listening to them, Skylar could only nod and accept the gift. "Thank you, Mr. Querbach." "Let's go and eat. I told them to prepare the dishes with the vegetables I planted." George walked out of the building and led the way.
Skylar helped Gloria to walk. She could tell Gloria was slightly tired after a series of events that day.
"Are those vegetables planted by you edible? I've just cout of the hospital. I don't want to get admitted again," Gloria teased.
No one would've expected the young George, who used to be a mercenary, would start farming when he got old. None of them would've imagined this at that time.
"I've been eating the vegetables I planted this year. I've not used any fertilizer, and they're all organic." George appeared more gentle as he talked about the vegetables he planted.
Skylar smiled as she watched the two argue. She was also enjoying the views.
The garden was well-managed. It was clean, and the air was fresh, too.

You two should head straight to the hot spring resort." After hanging up the phone, Glória turned to look at Skylar. "Skye, Joe's here and waiting outside. You should go look for him now. Il have a good chat with George. You can cpickup tomorrow." "Go ahead." George chuckled as he waved.
It was great to be young. Even if it were just unrequited love, it would be unforgettable.
"I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting old, but I envy the youngsters sometimes, George lamented as he looked at Gloria after Skylar had left.
Gloria seemed to be reminiscing about something. "Right. We were fearless back then. 1. we And we could just let things slide with a smile even if we were hurt terribly. Look at us now.
We're old." "Does Joe like Skye?" George asked.
Gloria scoffed and replied, "I don't oth after! know who he took after I betchem I wouldn't have gotten married if I hadn't brought Skye to him."- X
