Chapter: 650

Gil stood up and said, "Norah, come back with me today. My wife heard you were going home with me, so she prepared some delicious food for you."

"What? When did I say that?"

Norah was confused. She recalled entering with the documents while Gil was on a phone call. He had given her a mysterious smile.

It had to be his wife on the Line.

He mentioned his wife had already prepared the meal. Turning it down now would disappoint them both, wouldn't it?

After a brief hesitation, she agreed.

She hadn't seen Mrs. Davies in quite a while, and this would be a good opportunity to visit her.

Norah checked her phone. She had previously messaged Sean, Letting him know she was with Gil.

"I went back to see my grandpa," Sean texted.

"I'm out. Have you finished?" Sean texted again.

"What do you want for dinner? I haven't eaten yet. How about we go to Solo Mio?" Sean suggested in his next text.

Five minutes ago, the latest message came in.

Norah was typing a message.

“Sean, Gil has invited me over for dinner. Don't wait up for me.

I'll make my way home later." She sent the text, then pocketed her phone and turned to Gil. "Let's head out."

The Cercis Apartments was a well-known aging apartment complex in Glophia, mostly inhabited by the elderly.

The younger generation had all moved out to work, leaving behind their older families.

Stepping into the apartment complex Norah immediately sensed the chill in the air. The walls were speckled with age, and leaves littered the ground.

“It looks like the cleaner hasn't been around for a while, there's quite a bit of rubbish around," Gil remarked.

He pointed towards the leaves and the surrounding greenery, then walked towards a large tree at the center of the complex. “In the afternoon, this is where people gather to play cards and enjoy some tea. It's really pleasant."

Memories flooded back to Norah. A few years earlier, she had accompanied Gil here for dinner. The elderly folks sipping tea and playing cards under the tree would always call out to him.

"Gil, you've brought your granddaughter over for dinner again!"

"She's such a beautiful girl. Does she have a boyfriend yet? I know a few great young men. Would you like me to introduce them?"

Time really flied.
