After that, the servant tookto the room next door.

The villa was huge, yet Tory madestay in the room next to his. Though curious, | did not ask him anything.

Solomon started investigating the things | told him to investigate, and | could only wait. Apart from waiting, there

was nothing | could do.

Tory was very idle. After having a video conference in the study, he went swimming in the pool behind the villa.

There were only a few people in the huge villa. My mind was a mess. | could not sit still, so | went downstairs to

the courtyard.

| strolled around the backyard and was

surprised when | saw a vegetable garden.

Tory looked like an ungrounded gentry, and having a vegetable garden at hwas very unlike himself. Besides,

the vegetables were growing so well too.

| was sure that the vegetable garden was not tended by a servant as there were a lot of fresh flowers planted

around the garden. A servant was surely not daring enough to make a vegetable garden in the center of the

flowers themselves.

The persimmons in the vegetable garden were already ripe. They were big and round, looking really delicious.

There were simply too many of them. | figured no one was there to eat them, so they were left to grow freely.

Next to the persimmons were cucumbers. There were also a lot of cucumbers on the vine, but as they had been

left too long on

the vine, they had started to yellow and wilt. As | was too bored, | noticed a lot of weeds had grown in the

vegetable garden. | squatted down to clean up the weeds.

When | heard footsteps behind me, | thought it was Tory at first. | did not turn my head back to look. "Were you

the one who planted these vegetables? | didn't know you were so grounded."

The person behindmade no reply, so | turned my head back curiously, only to realize that it was not Tory but

a woman who looked to be about 40 years old. She was wearing a light blue T-shirt, a pair of black jeans, and a

pair of sneakers that were covered in mud.

Seeing the basket in her hand, | figured she was here to pick the vegetables.

The woman wiped the sweat on her forehead and asked with a smile, "Are you Tory's friend?"

| was stunned and began to speculate about this woman's identity.

| figured she was not a servant because she was calling Tory by his name. She must be someone close to him.

Could it be Tory's mother?

Though, could Tory's mother be so young?

Could this be Tory's maternal relative?

Although | was unsure of her identity, | still said with a smile, "Hello, are you the one growing the vegetables in

this garden?

They're really well taken care of."

The woman let out a warm smile and took out a bunch of grapes from the basket. She handed them to me. "Try

them, | just picked them. | don't use pesticides, so you can eat them straight away."

I nodded with a smile, took the grapes from her hands, picked one off, and popped it into my mouth.

| bit it with my teeth and a sweet taste instantly filled my mouth. | praised incessantly, "It's so sweet. Did you

plant this too?"

"Yeah. They were planted last year and only produced fruits this year." The woman was all smiles. She looked at

the weeds | had piled up aside. "Do you enjoy gardening too? I've been wanting to clean up these weeds for a

few days now but kept forgetting because | was too busy. Thanks for the help."

| shook my head with a smile. "These vegetables are already a little mature and can only be kept for seeds."

The woman put the basket aside. "Are you interested in working withto manage this garden? We need to

pick all of these vegetables and remove the seeds to be dried for planting next year."

"Sure."

It was truly tormenting forto just wait here for news without doing anything, so it would be great forto «

do something to distract myself.
