"By the way." Mr. Collins suddenly recalled something and looked at Elena, asking, " Your mother's Sandra Tyler, right?"
Elena froze and looked helplessly at Theo.
Theo smiled slightly and responded on her behalf, "Ms. Tyler raised my wife for many years and I'm really grateful to her."
I looked at Mr. Collins in astonishment. He knew my mother.
Although I was curious, I did not ask any questions.
If Shannon was really Mr. Collins’ granddaughter, then I must ask her to take me to visit him alone.
I was really curious about Mother’s story. All along, I thought she was just an ordinary person. However, she later passed me a mysterious box and it turned out that she knew so many people such as Grandmother and even the Collins from Hommiton City. That was enough to show that her life was not that simple.
"Ms. Lane!"
I came back to my senses and realized that Krayden had called me a few times. I looked dazedly at him, and he said a little helplessly, "Mr. Collins is speaking to you."
I froze and quickly looked at Mr. Collins.
Mr. Collins looked at me with a grin. His gaze was kind and warm. "You’re daydreaming, girl."
I quickly stood up and apologized, "I’m really sorry, Mr. Collins. I didn’t mean to do
that.'
Mr. Collins guffawed. "It's okay. Young people like you prefer a vibrant environment. It's hard not to feel bored eating with this old man. I understand.”
I blushed instantly. This was simply awkward. I was just about to explain myself when Theo said to Mr. Collins, "She has always been like that. Please don’t take it to heart, Mr. Collins."
