Chapter 605
Alessandra was on the verge of making a phone call to find out where Benny
and his family had gone, hoping to hitch a ride back to the countryside with
them. They had agreed to travel back to the village together on the first day
of the New Year, intending to honor their ancestors and reconnect with their
fellow villagers.
Just at that moment, a mountain bike suddenly emerged from behind them.
Despite having undergone renovation, it was evident that the mountain bike
was possibly over a decade-old model with an assortment of flashy
accessories. It skidded to a sudden stop and created a dust cloud right
before the Lowe family.
Roselynn’s brows furrowed in anger. What’s wrong with this driver? Is he trying
to flaunt his driving skills? Or does he want to pick a fight?
In the following moment, a round head emerged from the window of the
mountain bike and called out to Alessandra, “Well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Cadigan?”
The rider turned out to be a chubby man, whose gaze shifted to Roselynn.
She was dressed grey stockings that highlighted her well-defined and
shapely legs, a stretchy skirt underneath, and a fur coat, exuding a
commanding presence at first sight.
The chubby guy’s mouth hung slightly open as if he was on the verge of
drooling, but he suddenly froze-and-exclaimed excitedly, “Wow, it’s you!
Roselynn!”
“Hey, you’re that chubby little guy!” She also recognized the round-headed
individual. Isn’t he Emmanuelis junior back in the day? What’s his name
again? She could not recall it for a moment! Oh well, let’s just call him
Chubby.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, had a good memory. He walked forward to
greet him. “Shane, is that you? It’s been so many years. I didn’t expect you to
have grown so much!”
“Haha, what do you mean? Does being handsome mean you won’t grow up? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Manny, you’re still a four! You haven’t changed much!” Shane swung open
the car door and leaped out, trying to showcase his agility with exaggerated
moves and striking a pose upon landing. Regrettably, he resembled a large
watermelon with a height of slightly over 5 feet, a round physique, and clad in
green attire.
“What does ‘four’ mean?” Alessandra could not help but ask when she
noticed her children ignoring this adorable guy.
“Haha, when you divide two from four, you still get two, and when you
subtract two, it’s still two. What I mean is that Emmanuel is just as I
remembered… Ms. Cadigan, aren’t I talented?” Shane smiled and raised his
eyebrow as if anticipating praise for his talent.
Emmanuel and Roselynn were rendered speechless, while Alessandra also
chuckled awkwardly. “Shane, you’re still as adorable as ever!”
“Ms. Cadigan, while what you said is true, it’s not entirely accurate. You
shouldn’t overlook my handsomeness just because I’m adorable!” He
adjusted his brand-new attire, tapping his shiny shoes. However, despite the
newness of his clothes, they gave him the appearance of a child playing
dress-up in adult attire.
Unable to bear it any longer, Roselynn exclaimed angrily, “Some things never
change. Shane, stop trying to show off. You’ve kicked up dust all over us. I
won’t hold it against you, but you must take us to the village now!”
“Alright!” Surprisingly, he complied with her request. Emmanuel was not
surprised either, as he knew Shane very well.
He was an orphan Santiago adopted years ago. Emmanuel was considered
his senior as he learned martial arts from Santiago during his youth. Since
their early days, Shane had recognized Roselynn as his sister and used to
follow her around constantly.
