We took in many sights along the way. We spent quite a long time walking, and I was a little hungry. Theo noticed that there were some snacks not far away and ran to get me some after asking me to wait for him some distance away.
I had not felt this way for a long time.
Sitting on a small stool by the side of the road, I waited for Theo to return. I was looking down at my phone for a bit when a shadow fell into my vision. Thinking Theo had returned, I looked up and was stunned to see the person who had arrived.
"Mr. Nibel, why are you here?"
It puzzled me greatly to bump into Mr. Nibel in this old town.
Hands in his pockets, there was amusement in his eyes. "I heard this place is very special, and since it's not far from Whaldorf, I was suggested to come and take a look. I didn’t expect to meet you here, Miss Wanda.”
I frowned. This somehow felt like it was not a coincidence. However, I could not say anything about it and could only smile slightly. "It's not bad here. I came out for a stroll with Theo this weekend as well.”
"Oh? President Grant is here too? Where did he go?" Nibel began looking around for Theo as he asked this.
"He went up ahead to get me some snacks. He should be back soon."
Nibel looked in the direction of my finger. "It seems I’ve interrupted you two. I shall take my leave first then.”
I had no intention of keeping him, so I just smiled and said nothing.
Theo returned with the snacks the moment he turned to leave. He was also surprised to see Nibel. "Mr. Nibel, you’re here…"
“I came to sightsee and ended up bumping into you two. I’d rather not be a third wheel.”
“Since you’re already here, let’s stick together, then.”
I did not understand why Theo would want to keep him around. I glanced at him, but he did not look at me.
“I’m fine with it, but I don’t know if Miss Wanda minds my presence.”
