Kylin wasn't surprised by the fact that Yesseca wanted to buy some fruit but the rest of her words.
It had proven that she was indeed very attentive.
It also meant that she was very thoughtful.
Soon, she had a basket of fruits in her hands, and she was about to pay for them when he stopped her.
"Let me do it. How could I ask you to pay for them?" she said.
In her opinion, she should pay for the fruit she was the one who came up with the idea to get them.
"It's fine. How could a gentleman let a woman pay?" As soon as he finished his sentence, he looked at the vendor and said, "Don't you agree?"
With that, the vendor took the cash from Kyi in's hand instead of Yesseca's, saying, "He's right. How could he have let you pay? Miss, you have a wonderful boyfriend."
Hearing his words, she blushed. "H-He isn't my boyfriend."
However, the vendor laughed. "Soon I see."
While Yesseca was feeling embarrassed, Kylin had a calm expression on his face.
After getting in the car, she hesitated for a moment before saying to him, "Kylin, I don't think it's right to make people misunderstand our relationship."
He smiled as he replied, "Yesseca, you can't control everyone's thoughts, can you?"
Thinking about it, she had to agree to his words.
If others thought so, there was nothing she could do.
"Besides, for him to say that about us means we're a good match," he added.
She was rendered speechless.
Glaring at him, she said, "Nonsense!"
This time, he said nothing in response, but his lips were curled up.
In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the old folk's home.
Yesseca and Kylin got out of the car.
There was a group of elderly people chatting with each other when they arrived. The man was sitting alone on the other end with a look of envy and loneliness.
The other elders were chatting about their children.
"My daughter just called me and asked me how I was doing. She has been busy with her work recently. I have already asked her not to call so often, but she still did. Geez," one woman said.
Although she was blaming her daughter, she looked quite proud of it.
"My son came to see me yesterday and bought me a lot of things. I told him not to spend this much money on me, but he wouldn't listen."
"Kids. Mine is exactly like this too."
Most of those who were at the old folk's home had children of their own. However, they sent them here because they were busy with work or for some other reason.
Though it was unsure how their children treated them, the elders were only saying these to comfort themselves.
Right then, the old man was sitting beside them, listening to their conversation about their children with a look of envy. At the same time, he was feeling lesser than them.
Yesseca saw it.
With that, she ran over towards him.
"Uncle Tadeus, I'm here to see you."
She had found out his name when he helped him the other day.
Hearing this, he was stunned.
Someone said to him, "Are your relatives here to see you?"
