I widened my eyes and wanted to scold him but did not know what to say.
In order to get rid of these two lunatics as quickly as I could, I decided to climb the fruit tree in the end.
Tyler often fooled me into climbing trees to pick fruits when we were young. He would say that I was short and thin, so I would not snap the branches if I climbed trees to pick fruits. I always believed him and foolishly climbed trees, whereas he would stay at the bottom to catch the fruits.
I was really good at climbing trees at the time, but I had not climbed trees for a long time and felt a little scared.
I looked up at the fruit tree of 13 feet in height and took a deep breath.
Fine. Falling from a tree was still better than being annoyed by Elena.
Seeing that I still had not climbed the tree after so long, Elena sighed. "It’s fine if you can't get up there, Ms. Lane.”
Theo did not say anything and merely looked faintly at me.
I was too lazy to entertain them and grabbed the trunk of the tree and climbed u p the branch.
After climbing some distance away, I looked down at the ground and said indifferently, "Please pass me the bag."
Theo handed me a bag, watching me with n o emotions in his eyes. He said in a lukewarm tone, "Careful. Don’t fall."
I nodded. "Thank you."
I took the bag from him and continued climbing upward, stopping only when I could reach the fruits above.
I picked a fruit and put it to my mouth to take a bite, realizing that it was indeed sweet.
Elena was right about this one.
After picking half a bag full of fruits, I planned to descend.
I had just started when Elena shrieked. ' There’s a snake!"
Her shriek was so ear-piercing and coupled with the fact that she saw a snake, I was astounded and slipped. I immediately fell from the tree.
