Glenn pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling and saying, This is the tableware from our hometown. Let me show you.
As he spoke, he skillfully picked up a piece of fried meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew.
Leila and Bonnie looked at each other, both of them had a look of deep curiosity in their eyes.
They imitated Glenn's gestures and tried clumsily. Perhaps they found the trick, and they were able to pick up the food very quickly, which surprised Glenn.
He was ready to grab a fork and spoon.
I let them try using chopsticks just out of interest, but it seems they don’t need them anymore.
When she took the first bite of the dish, Leila couldn't help but squint her eyes. The taste was intoxicating. Although it was not enough to make her lose her composure, it was enough for her to enjoy.
There is no need to mention Bonnie. Perhaps because she is naturally romantic, she does not hesitate to praise others.
Oh! This smells so good!
These words made Glenn feel indescribably proud, and he almost couldn't keep his composure on his face.
You are still students, right? You have a day off today? Glenn asked casually while picking up some food.
Yes sir, Bonnie and I are both students at Mays College. Today is indeed a holiday, but we have to go to school tomorrow. Although Leila wanted to enjoy the delicious food like Bonnie, she was a polite girl, so she took the time to answer Glenn's questions.
Oh, Glenn nodded slowly, and then asked, By the way, can I ask, is there magic in your subject?
Hearing this question, Leila looked at him strangely, and even Bonnie raised her chubby little face with the same look in her eyes.
To learn magic, you have to go to the Magic Tower and find a special instructor. The academy doesn't have that, but there are some basic common sense involved.
Leila explained in a soft voice.
Um I don't know much about this. Glenn looked embarrassed.
So that's how it is. Leila didn't ask any further questions.
It’s not Glenn’s fault. The original owner really had no knowledge of this in his memory.
The original owner had not been to school for many years, and the knowledge he possessed was equivalent to that of an elementary school graduate on Earth. As a rich second-generation, of course he would squander his parents' wealth. Who would choose to go to school?
This also led to his lack of understanding of many common sense.
Soon, the three of them were full. Glenn had a big appetite, so the portion prepared was a lot. He only needed to eat a little, and the rest would be enough to entertain the guests.
During the meal, the casual conversation between the three of them brought them closer together, and the two girls gradually relaxed, showing their lively side.
Glenn was no longer stern-faced as he was at the beginning, and could make the girls laugh by making jokes occasionally.
The lunch that Mr. Glenn makes is really delicious. I would do anything if I could taste it every day. Bonnie patted her belly and muttered contentedly.
Who is willing to cook for a greedy cat like you? If there is, you will eat him out of money sooner or later. Leila teased at the right time.
Of course I'd be happy to let you taste more dishes, but you have to be brave enough to come, Glenn also interjected.
Bonnie thought of the strange atmosphere of this small town and immediately shrank her neck, Let's not
Seeing the little girl's silly look, Glenn and Leila couldn't help laughing.
After Glenn put away his bowl and chopsticks, Leila said in an apologetic tone, This is a less than perfect visit. My thank-you gift doesn't seem to be worth this lunch. If my mother knew, she would definitely blame me.
The basket that Leila carried contained some fruits, vegetables, bread and the like, but no meat. In that era, the value of meat was very high, so Leila said this.
To express gratitude you don't need to rely on the value of the gift. It's enough for me to feel your sincerity. Glenn said what was in his heart. He liked this well-behaved girl very much. She was the first friend he made in this world.
Leila was touched by his words.
These words are commonplace on Earth, and anyone with a little knowledge of the ways of the world can say them, but here, they sound very thought-provoking.
I will keep your words in mind. Leila said solemnly.
Me too. Bonnie was also touched and echoed.
The three of them chatted casually for a while, and the two girls asked about the town from time to time, but Glenn himself didn't know much about it, so he could only tell the truth.
Finally, Glenn saw that they wanted to leave, so he offered to see them off.
Well, this place is not that close to your home. It would be bad if it gets dark halfway. Go home quickly and don't let your family worry too much.
Leila and Bonnie also realized that what Glenn said made sense, so they said goodbye politely.
After sending the two girls away, Glenn secretly ordered the Beast to protect the two girls. He had already decided on a way to make money and was ready to implement it.
Mr. Glenn is a very interesting man. Perhaps we can spend more time with him in the future.
Leila said as she walked along the quiet dirt road.
I think so too, but, Leila, I still think it's not safe here. It's better to be with friends. Bonnie nodded in agreement and suggested.
Hmm Leila thought for a few seconds, then smiled and said, Then are you willing to come with me?
Bonnie rolled her eyes, You should find a strong boy. You and I together are not safe at all!
Poke? No, he's even more timid than you. Leila couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the chubby red-haired boy shivering here.
Hearing this, Bonnie said unconvincedly: I'm quite courageous!
Thinking of Poker again, she wondered, Didn't that guy always say he wanted to be a knight? How could he be so timid?
It's just that you don't understand him Leila seemed to be about to tell some embarrassing things about Poke, but was interrupted by a familiar voice.
Thank God, Leila, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Fortunately, you are okay.
A short middle-aged man with a dark brown beard walked up from the front, followed by two burly men who were a head taller than him.
When Leila saw this man, she was stunned and said in a slightly surprised tone: Dad
The man who came was Leila's father, Bob.
Bonnie looked at the person who came, then at Leila, not knowing what to say.
My child, you don't know how worried I was when I knew you came here. It's very dangerous here! Come on, follow your dad, I will take you back. Bob smiled kindly and waved.
However, the two people behind him always had cold faces, which made the two girls very uneasy.
No, I don't want to go back with you! You almost killed my mother! Leila thought of her mother's miserable appearance in the clinic, and she suddenly became furious and spoke in a firm tone.
Bob's eyelids twitched, and his expression was a little stiff, but he soon defended himself helplessly: My dear child, it was just an accident. I was drunk at the time, and your mother was also at fault. She should have given me the money, otherwise that would not have happened.
Okay, Bob, we don't have time to watch your father-daughter love, let's just get started!
A burly man behind Bob interrupted the conversation impatiently and walked straight forward, trying to grab the two girls.
Seeing that the visitor had bad intentions, the two girls were scared and turned around to run away.
But the two little girls obviously couldn't run faster than the grown men. As soon as they took a step forward, two big hands grabbed their shoulders on each side.
There was a huge force, and Leila and Bonnie were pulled to the ground. They wanted to get up and struggle, but the two strong men had already held them tightly and dragged them back the way they came.
Let us go! You bastards!
The two girls screamed.
Be a little gentler, she is my daughter after all. Bob shouted in a low voice.
Daughter? Haha she is no longer a daughter since you sold her to the boss.
