Chapter 72 Wait For Me

All the way, Louis wore a sour expression, with Sam feeling jittery.

Suddenly, Louis turned to look in Blanche's direction and instructed Sam something. On hearing this, Sam nodded.

Blanche was quietly picking oranges, but she was still feeling bitter. She was even called crazy. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Blanche plucked a piece of wild grass next to her and snapped it off in frustration.

"You are the one who's crazy."

The phone rang, and Brendon answered it. After hanging up, Blanche saw him looking at her with an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you to pick oranges anymore. I need to go home."

Blanche nodded. "You go ahead."

After saying this, Brendon turned around and left.

Turning her head, Blanche tried hard to divert her bitterness. She looked at the people scattered all over the hillside, thinking that with so many people, they must be able to pick a lot of oranges. All the welfare institutes in Cloud City should be able to get some oranges.

Yet, the reality was a stark contrast. Before long, murmurs of conversation began to flow from those around.

"What's so good about picking oranges? Don't let me get tanned. Whoever wants to pick them can go ahead. Anyway, I'm not willing to. My hands are precious."

"That's right. We will just pick a few to deal with it later. This activity is supposed to be for relaxation. Mr. Herbart is not really asking us to pick a lot of oranges."

"Let's go under the tree to cool down. I've recently set my eyes on a makeup product that launched today. I need to grab it fast. Slow hands lose."
