after taking just a few steps

The dim light revealed that the furnishings in the room had hardly changed, except for having collected

a layer of dist.

While her grandfather shuffled into the room, Melanie stood in the living room, surveying the old house.

She had always wanted to bring Eugene here, to the place where she grew up.

However, the man had always been too busy, too occupied to even spare some time to learn the name

of this neighborhood.

Melanie used to console herself, thinking it was okay and that there was still time. Time: gradually

obvious, she still clung to her unrealistic fantasies.

When her grandfather came out, his eyes were tinged red. Melanie could tell he was overwhelmed with

emotions and likely thinking about her grandmother.

After helping the old man back into the car, Melanie drove them to a nearby restaurant instead of

sending him back to the nursing home.

It was an old establishment that her grandfather often brought her to when she was a child.

“Since you don’t have much of an appetite tonight, I figured why not try having some of Mrs. Zawn’s

soup?”

Melanie spoke as she helped her grandfather into the restaurant. The establishment was quite old, and

its decor was vintage. The glass door swung open, revealing the entire dining area.

At a table directly in front of the entrance sat a middle–aged couple. Melanie felt like she had seen the

man somewhere before but could not quite put her finger on it.

After seating her grandfather at a table inside and placing their orders, Melanie noticed the glass door

opening again. She immediately heard a voice that made her eye twitch. “Mom, Dad, we’re back.”

Viola placed the bag in her hand on the table and said with a smile, “Dad, these are the supplements

Eugene bought for you. He said it takes at least a hundred days to recover from your injuries, so you

need to rest more.”

Melanie’s fingers stiffened slightly. Then, she heard a slight creak as the door opened again. It was

followed by Eugene’s deep hum..

Her grandfather, of course, also caught onto Eugene’s voice. He turned around to look at him, his

expression growing stern. He stood up and said to Melanie, “Melanie, take me back.”

It was evident that he did not want to see Eugene and Viola together. Due to her grandfather’s words,

Viola also ended up noticing them.

She hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold Eugene’s arm. She cooed

affectionately, “Eugene, it seems like my dad’s recommendation for this restaurant is spot on. Even

Melanie is eating here.”

Eugene was as composed as he usually was. “It’s indeed not bad.”

Seated in the worn–out chair, Melanie could not help her thoughts as they drifted to another matter.

Eugene was usually very picky about food and typically looked down on these small, street–side

restaurants at least when he was with her.

She no longer felt much toward the man but could not help comparing and wondering how Eugene

would act when he truly liked someone. It probably would not be like how he was with her. After all, he

did not even have the time to accompany her back to the old home.

A faint smile played on Melanie’s lips. She suddenly felt like a bystander, an onlooker who was not

entirely upright. She could not help but want to compare, to see how far Eugene could go when he truly

loved someone.

It definitely would not be like how he acted with her. He did not even have time to accompany her back

to the old house.

Melanie’s lips curled slightly. She suddenly felt like a silent observer. She wanted to know how Eugene

would express love for someone.
