"Okay."
Without any doubt, Molly kept following him.
She had never thought that Christopher would lie about such a thing, nor did she think that he would lie
to her.
They didn't stop until they almost reached the entrance of Molly's neighborhood.
Christopher slowed down. Molly thought she could take off the coat. She stretched to pull it.
But someone was faster than her.
Christopher had taken off the coat when she just touched it.
Molly couldn't see anything when the coat covered her head. So she had to narrow her eyes for a while
so that they could adjust to the light.
"We're at the entrance of the neighborhood!" Only then did she realize that where they were.
Christopher stood beside her and slowly said, "Go up."
"Okay." Molly nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she thought of something, hesitating.
"What's up?" Seeing this, Christopher looked up at her with a calm expression.
Molly pursed her lips, not knowing how to start the conversation.
She wanted to explain what had happened just now, but Christopher looked very calm as if nothing had
happened.
Since he was so calm, it would sound unnecessary if she explained.
Molly hesitated for a few moments before putting a smile on her face and shaking her head, "Nothing.
Good night."
Christopher lowered his eyes slightly. The light was dim, so she did not see awareness in his eyes.
"Don't forget the event." Christopher reminded her.
Event...
This reminded her of what had happened before. Her face, which had already turned normal, became
red again.
"I see." She quickly turned around, pretending that she couldn't wait to go home.
Christopher smiled, "Just go."
Molly left at once, not daring to linger one more second.
When he couldn't see her, he slowly walked towards his car
He was in a good mood, smiling.
As soon as he got into the car, his phone rang.
His smile faded a little, and he was somewhat helpless.
"Grandma."
"Christopher, are you off work?"
"Yes." His tone also became helpless. "It's so late. Why don't you sleep?"
He didn't know if she had heard him because she asked loudly, "I want to see the little girl from the
Jones'. When will you take her home?"
Christopher lived with his grandma when he was in primary school. He went abroad after graduation.
So he was close to his grandmother the most.
She was in her eighties, and her ears and eyes still worked very well, very healthy. But the only thing
bothering Christopher was that she urged him to get married whenever she saw him.
When Molly escaped from the marriage, she even forced him to swear that he would get her back.
She said he couldn't come back home if he was still single when the New Year came.
"I'll take her back for the New Year? Is that okay?" Christopher patiently coaxed her.
But she fell silent.
"Grandma?" Christopher said tentatively. Did she fall asleep?
