T —hey finally arrived at the place which is surrouded with mountains. Compared to the bustling city, this place seemed extremely quite and desolate. The two assistants were suspicious of whether they had taken the wrong path, but Joshua firmly believed that as long as they continued to walk forward, they could get closer to Elizabeth.
After an hour and a half, the assistant got off the car and asked around. They really did arrive at their destination.
This was a small town that was neither bustling nor isolated from the rest of the world. There weren't many populations here, but it is very relaxed and comfortable. As the assistant drove, she asked for directions and arrived in front of a small building on the outskirts of a small town. This small building was quite eye-catching in this town, with two floors and a villa structure. In front of the door was a large garden, surrounded by a wall, and on the wall was a mountain climbing tiger. It did not look like a new one, and it had been more than ten years, but the flowers and plants here were exceptionally fresh in this spring.
"Boss, do you need me to go down and knock on the door? I think that's it! " The assistant hurriedly asked, but discovered that before Joshua answering, he had already got off the car, helding his breath and knocking on the door.
"It's coming!" An old lady's replied.
Then the door opened with a clang. A thin old lady was standing in front of the door. She wore a pair of glasses and held a long bean horn in her hand. It seemed like she was cooking.
"You are.... Elizabeth's boyfriend? " After the old lady suddenly saw Joshua, she pointed at his face, triing to figure out who he was in her mind.
"Grandma, nice to meet you I'm Joshua, Elizabeth's boyfriend. Is she here?" Joshua hurriedly introduced himself, eagerly to know whether Elizabeth is here or not.
"Elizabeth? "She didn't come back." The old lady was surprised, but soon after, she stuck her head out and looked outside in disbelief, "She clearly said that she wanted to bring you back to."
Joshua stood at the door like a statue, the old lady's expression did not seem like he was lying.
In that case, Elizabeth did not return home, but was Lily lying to him?
"Grandma, do you need a phone?" Joshua suddenly wanted to confirm something. He had always thought that Elizabeth's grandmother was really old to the point that she couldn't walk anymore.
"I don't have a phone, but my landline is installed. Kid, did you come alone? " The old lady asked him anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.
Joshua didn't know how to explain. He looked at his assistants,, and one of the helpers quickly returned to the car with a bunch of gift fruits in his hands. He hastily bought them on the way here. " "Grandma, there some fruits for you." As the assistant said this, he carried his things and walked towards the living room.
"Oh, you are so sweet. Didn't Elizabeth come with you?" The old lady only believed him after hearing her explanation.
Only then did Joshua ease his stiff expression and said softly: "She didn't come with you. Grandma, do you live here alone?"
"Yes, I live alone. My husband has been gone for many years!" The old lady quickly made way for him. "Look at me, come in quickly and have a seat. We'll have lunch here."
When Joshua stepped into the garden, he
realized that what was planted was not expensive flowers, plants and trees, but all kinds of vegetables. It was spring, and the air is fulfilled with fresh soil from the garden.
Joshua had never experienced this kind of feeling of a small village before, and he was in a bit of a trance for a moment.
"Comein, kids, Joshua. You are such a gentle man, and my Elizabeth is blessed! The old lady gave him a cup of tea while Joshua held onto the cup.
"Thank you, Grandma!" Joshua said gratefully.
