My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1020
He smiled and said, "Ziglar is an old man. I guess Mr. Roberts wanted to keep him company a little longer. I heard that Ziglar also lives alone on weekdays. Occasionally, his granddaughter comes to see him. The old man is old and likes when the youngsters gather around, it's more lively."
That's true!
I nodded and said, "Okay, will it be held at the tourist attraction site again?"
He nodded. "I'll be bringing some things over, so there won't be much room in my truck. Mr. Roberts and the others will be taking the car, you can follow them!"
"Alright!"
Hugo continued, "By the way, Ziglar heard that you picked the fruits, so he asked for you to head over as well! Go ahead!"
I was stunned. "Didn't we pick a lot just now? Have you all eaten?"
He nodded. "Yes, yes. Evan gave us a big bag. Anyway, we're tired of eating the fruits from the orchard so there's no need to think of us."
After that, I headed over to Ziglar's office.
Upon reaching the door, I heard joyous conversations coming from the room.
It was Ziglar's voice. "Rowane, you are really good at talking. As an old man, I haven't been so happy for a long time."
Rowane replied, "Master Attwood, don't say that. It's an honor for us, youngsters, to be here talking to you. If you're happy, it's a great blessing!"
When these words were said, laughter immediately erupted. I can't deny that Rowane does have more of a knack for conversing than me.
As I raised my hand to knock on the door, the conversation inside continued. Ziglar said, "Hendrix, when you and Miss Zanes got married, I was ill. I was afraid that my body couldn't handle the trip to and back. So I had to sit out."
As he said this, he took a small and refined box out of his suit pocket and handed it over to Miss Zanes. "Rowane, my dear, this is a little gift from me. It's not something grand or expensive. It was from when I was still fighting the war in Myanway. My wife gave this to me. All these years, I've kept it dearly. It's a jade bracelet of a dragon and phoenix. Take this as a little token of my regard."
Rowane was somewhat flattered and looked at Hendrix. Her eyes was clear with one intention, asking if it was okay to accept this.
Hendrix probably did not expect Ziglar's gift. After a slight pause, he reached out and took the box from Ziglar's hand and said, "Grandpa, we appreciate your kindness. This bracelet is a memento of Grandma, we can't accept this!"
When the old man saw that he refused, he was a little unhappy and said, "Who asked you to take it? This thing is my gift to my granddaughter-in-law. Don't touch it, it is for Rowane!"
As he spoke, he opened the box, took out the bracelet and put it on Rowane's wrist. He smiled and said, "Rowane, in the future, you must have a good relationship with this little brat!" Rowane probably didn't think that she would receive such a gift as well. She looked at Hendrix, dumbfounded.
Hendrix frowned slightly, but when he looked at the happy old man, he couldn't say much.
With the initial intention of wanting to knock on the door, I held back as I saw the people inside being engrossed in their own conversations. Not wanting to disturb, I turned back and prepared to leave. "Madam, you're here!" Evan suddenly appeared behind me, holding a plate full of cut fruits.
I was shocked. I took a moment to calm down before I asked, "Did you go to cut some fruits?"
