"All good. Why don't I show you?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked, looking at Nicole.
"Great." Nicole accompanied Mrs. Wallace Sr. into the garden.
"Wow! Did you grow all of these?" Nicole marveled as her eyes ranged over the greens in the garden.
"Yeah, your grandma takes care of these vegetables with utmost care!" Tia admired from the side.
"Grandma, you are not exhausted from all that farming, are you?" Nicole asked with concern.
"Nah, this is much less than what I had grown when I was in the countryside. It would be better if there is a bigger field
for me to work with. ’ Mrs. Wallace Sr. said with an avuncular smile on her face.
"Grandma, there are only a few of US living here, and we don't have to sell any of it, so this is more than enough," Nicole
said. "I wouldn't have allowed you to plant this much if I were home."
As Nicole and Mrs. Wallace Sr. were deep in conversation, a car pulled up at the courtyard of the Sea View Villa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was then that Harvey got out of the car to see Nicole, Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia chatting in the garden. "Hey,
Nicole."
"Harvey, come over and take a look." Nicole waved her hand to beckon him over.
Harvey got out of the car to make his way toward the garden, and as he came up to Nicole, he greeted Mrs.
Wallace Sr. before asking Nicole," What's up?"
"These are the vegetables that Grandma had planted, and when they mature, you can have some of them," she
said.
"Grandma planted all of these? So this is how we grow all of the vegetables we eat?" He eyed the vegetables in the
garden in amazement.
He had never planted anything before, so the idea of growing vegetables was for him.
"Yes, if you have empty plots at home, you can try it, too. Just treat it as an educational hobby." Nicole quipped,
unashamedly asking a CEO to grow vegetables.
"Did you bring US the gifts?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah, they're all in the car," he replied.
"Grandma, let's check the souvenirs out, shall we?" Nicole helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up and walked her to Harvey's
car.
"Why don't you help Grandma inside while Tia and I bring the gifts in? It will be easier for all of US." Harvey
suggested as he looked over at Nicole.
"That would be nice," she said, and made her way back to the living room with her grandmother.
’Tia, come over and help me out." Harvey looked at Tia.
"Okay," Tia uttered, and followed him.
Before long, the both of they came waltzing back into the living room with gifts in their hands.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at them and said, "Why have you bought so much stuff? What a waste of money."
"It is not much, really. These are just some of the local specialties," Harvey, who knew best, explained, as he was the one
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwho had bought them the souvenirs.
Nicole turned to Harvey. "Thank you so much. How much do I owe you? I will pay you back."
"Are you looking down on me, thinking I can't afford a bunch of things I've only spent pittance on?" Harvey playfully gave
Nicole a disgruntled look, after which he walked over to Mrs. Wallace Sr. and placed the gifts in front of her.
"Mrs. Wallace Sr., these are all for you," he said with a smile on his face as if she were his very own grandmother.
Perhaps, due to the fact that his own grandmother had left him when he was very young, he envied Nicole for having a
grandmother with her.
"Thank you so much." Mrs. Wallace Sr. beamed at Harvey.
"Don't mention it. This is what we, the younger generation, should be doing. If you like me, why don't you take me as
your grandson?" Harvey suddenly suggested.
Nicole frowned upon hearing that, thinking that Harvey must be out of his mind for making such a suggestion.
She immediately chimed in before her grandmother could say anything. ’ Don't you have a grandfather, Harvey? Why
would you want to take my grandmother as yours? Don't even think about it."
