The old hut, the bed was moldy, and the air smelled like dust.
But all the same, there was the smell of sunlight.
“Matthew, why are you so nice?”
Blanca swooped over and tried to hug Matthew and plant a kiss on his chin, but was dodged by Matthew’s deflected face, “Dirty.”
He did have a feeling of resistance at first when he was just cleaning, but it soon disappeared.
Because, the thought that this is the place that has nurtured Blanca for twenty years, the mood is good.
“Then go back and kiss again?”
Blanca tilted her head and laughed brightly, Matthew raised his eyebrows non-committally.
The room’s things are still there, the gray walls with a large frame, you can see the little girl in twisted braids inside full of smiles, still wearing a large red flower cotton jacket.
The back of the order is some of the old edge and even began to yellow the photo.
The girl in the picture is always smiling, as if although the family is poor, but very happy, the old lady behind is hunched over, smiling love pit looking at Blanca, just from the old lady’s kind eyes, Matthew knows she is really good to Blanca.
“This is Grandma, right.”
“Hmm.” Blanca nodded, took out a wet tissue from the small bag she carried and wiped it on the picture frame, “I also learned later that Grandma never married in her life.”
Although she didn’t know how she was “abandoned,” she later learned from Old Mr. Butler that the nanny had worked for the Butler family when she was young, for more than a decade, and had never married.
“Grandma was really good to me, Matthew, let’s go pay our respects to her tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Matthew reached out and rubbed his hand in Blanca’s hair.
Matthew had already ordered down when he came before, so Curtis had almost everything prepared, – he was actually not good and knowledgeable about these things, so he still asked Isabel for advice in many places.
Of course, Isabel called her mother to ask her about this, and she once wondered if she had a boyfriend, and even worried if Isabel’s boyfriend was a parent who had died, and was going to pay respect to her mother-in-law?
Isabel explained again and again, and then her mother believed her.
The offerings were well prepared.
…
At this time, Isabel has moved all the luggage into the room, in fact, not much, a small curry-colored suitcase, this time she came as a business trip, but still brought a lot of beautiful clothes, the girl’s nature well.
“Curtis assistant, I remind you again oh, if you do not want to live with me can also sleep in the hallway, sleep in the hall, I think that sofa in the hall is actually quite good.”
“…”
Isabel propped up her suitcase with one hand while leaning lazily against the door frame.
The first time I saw her, she was afraid that Curtis’ assistant would bully her.
She also has someone to back her up, okay?
“Why aren’t you sleeping on the couch?” Curtis calmly raised his eyes, suddenly thought of something, a flash of complex emotions in his eyes, “did not you say that there is nothing to sleep with a man?”
“Words, words are so …”
“Then I’m coming in.”
Curtis said already pushed the door open, but was blocked by Isabel’s quick eyes, “You can’t come in!”
