Peaceful and Elegant
Peaceful and Elegant
The one who had been secretly spying on her seemed to have lost interest. and disappeared.
Lucille raised an eyebrow.
She threw her backpack to her feet, then turned to look at the two-story villa next to Madam Grant's house.
That was her grandmother's old house,
In her memories, the house was peaceful and elegant. However, since no one had lived there for decades, weeds had grown all over the yard. The gate of the courtyard was covered with rust, and there was a piece of broken glass from the window on the first floor. It looked dark and eerie.
Lucille's gaze darkened.
With her level of knowledge, she could clearly tell that someone had snuck into the old house.
There was a vague black mark on the window, which was a footprint left by someone when they jumped in through the window.
Someone was sneaking into her grandmother's house. Why?
Could it be that her grandmother had left behind something that others. still remembered?
Many thoughts flashed across Lucille's mind.
In the end, she could only pretend as if nothing had happened. She picked. up the backpack on the ground and walked into the room that Madam Grant had prepared for her.
The room was not big, and the furniture was very old and basic, but it was spotless everywhere. Obviously, much attention had been put into cleaning.
Lucille poured herself a glass of water.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door. A childish voice was heard. from outside the door. "Are you resting, Lucille? Mom asked me to tell you to come downstairs for dinner." "I'm coming."
Lucille opened the door and walked out.noveldrama
The little boy in front of her was at most seven years old. He was gentle and well-behaved, looking fair and clean. He seemed like an amiable
person.
He was likely Madam Grant's son, who had just entered elementary school.
Lucille asked, "What's your name?"
The little boy answered obediently, "My name is Eason Grant."
"Eason. That's a good name," she praised.
Lucille stroked Eason's head with a smile and said, "Let's go eat."
On the table, four dishes and one bowl of soup had been prepared.
There was duck soup, half of a braised duck, two plates of vegetarian dishes, and some stir-fried vegetables.
The fragrance filled the air.
Madam Grant had prepared three plates for them. With some embarrassment, she said, "I'm not sure if you'll like it, Miss Lucille."
"It smells good. I'm not picky when it comes to food." Lucille sat down on the stool and took a bite. The taste was unexpectedly good. Seeing that she was quite satisfied, Madam Grant finally let out a sigh of
relief.
During the meal, Lucille noticed that both Madam Grant and Eason only ate the two vegetarian dishes. They didn't touch the soup and meat at all.
No matter how greedy Eason felt, he was trying his best not to eat too much.
Peaceful and Elegant
Lucille was stunned for a moment and then took the initiative to place a chicken wing in Eason's place. She told Madam Grant, "I can't eat this much. We shouldn't waste all this food. Please eat more, Madam Grant." Madam Grant was a little flustered and hurriedly said, "Miss Lucille, this is all for you. And... even if we add in the cost of food, this can't have cost more than 300 dollars. I'm already taking advantage of you, how can I..." "Not at all. I'm blessed with this delicious food."
Lucille's brows curved as she smiled.
When she wasn't smiling, she looked distant and indifferent. She seemed unapproachable. However, when she grinned, her eyes were glistening like shining stars, beautiful and bright.
Madam Grant was stunned for a moment. Originally, she thought that a rich young lady from Shein City would be picky. She didn't expect that Lucille would be so sociable and that she wouldn't put on any airs at all, She immediately felt a huge wave of relief. When she looked at Lucille again, her eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
Lucille ate slowly, and then she asked in a curious tone, "Madam Grant, is the house next door abandoned? Does no one go in to take care of it? It's full of weeds. It looks a little scary."
