Chapter 886 Hints Everywhere I was just about to ask another question when Atlas's hand tightened, clearly signalingto stop.
Then, I heard Ava say, "Grandpa, I brought my mommy and daddy to watch you planting trees. Grandma said to hurry and finish up so we can have dinner soon." I quickly composed myself and looked over. I saw my dad wearing a straw hat with a towel around his neck. His face was covered in sweat, and his complexion had becconsiderably darker.
But he looked much healthier, considering he used to be a pale, scholarly man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, he looked like a farmer toiling in the fields.
"Why are you so tan, Dad?" I pointed at my dad's face and laughed.
He was delighted to seeand Atlas. He pointed to the woods behind him with a sense of accomplishment and said, "Look at what we've done! There's no way we can avoid getting sunburned while doing all this, can we?" Then he pointed to all the differently shaped plants in the distance. "Those are our creations. Not bad, right?" Atlas looked over admiringly. "I saw them on the way here. They're very impressive, and the vegetables in the garden are growing very well too. You're becoming quite professional at this, sir." My dad grinned happily at this recognition from Atlas. "Con, I'll take you to the orchard. All kinds of fruits are in season right now. Ava has never picked any fruit before, so she can give it a try." "We've never picked fruit either, Dad. I have no idea what the orchard looks like." When Atlas heardsay that, he quickly pulledover and said to my dad, "Let's go, sir. You've made Chloe really eager to try plucking sfruit." The two little girls were even more excited. They started screaming in excitement, their voices echoing far away. The uneasy feeling in my heart instantly dissipated.
As my dad led us to the orchard, he told Atlas about their achievements.
Atlas said sincerely, "This all seems like a lot of work. How about hiring a few more gardeners to help out starting tomorrow?" My dad quickly opposed his idea. "No, that won't do! Jay and I will just take it slow. If we finish it all at once, we won't have anything else to do. This work requires simultaneous execution and design research.
"Jay is an excellent companion. He's skilled and specializes in this kind of thing. We get along really well too. We work together smoothly." My dad spoke convincingly, showing that he was on the right track.
"So we really don't need any more people here. This is our family's yard anyway. If we hire too many people, we'll mess up the whole process Just the two of us can handle it. Besides, those people in the orchard are doing well. They can join us whenever they're free. It's perfect." Atlas gave in. "Well, take your time. Your health is important. Don't overwork yourselves. If you need any seedlings or flowers, just let Nigel know. We can bring them over." My dad laughed excitedly. "Nigel brings in more than enough precious flowers and plants. My eyes have really been opened. I've never seen so many different kinds of flowers, plants, and trees before. Our yard is filled with treasures now. Even the books say these are srare plants!" I felt truly content as I saw how enthusiastic my dad was.
"Do you still want to go back to our hometown?" I asked him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knew I was joking and smiled. "We'll definitely go back, but it has to be when we have time. I want to go back with your mom to look around." I patiently reiterated to him, "Just
sell the house already, Dad. We're staying here for good. You've already gotten used to used to life here, and I can't go back there. My whole life and family are all here. Why would you wantto be distracted?" I almost spilled the beans, but no matter how I explained, they always found reasons to evade me.
"The climate in our small town doesn't suit you, and look at the year att you've spent here. Have you had any health issues? So why do you still want to keep that house?
"I've told mom this too. If you don't want to part with your books, we can arrange for someone topack them and send them here. This place is huge. We can set up your study and make a laboratory for you without any issues." After saying that, I looked at my father. But in that instant, I suddenly noticed his expression stiffen.
Something felt strange to me.
