Chapter 967
Emmanuel still knew Shane very well, as he hadn’t changed at all after all these years.
Red blushed instantly.
She knew that Shane liked her, but hearing it from Emmanuel made her feel a bit embarrassed.
“Haha. Since you’re here, if you don’t mind us disturbing you, let’s go inside and have a seat!”
Terence was in a good mood as it had been more than ten years since he left his hometown. So, he wanted to make some new friends and reconnect with the local community.
“Not at all. If you don’t mind my humble home, please come in and have a cup of tea!” Red graciously invited them, stealing a glance at Emmanuel.
In the past, Emmanuel wouldn’t have been sensitive to this kind of gaze, but after meeting Claudette and Tia, he felt a sense of familiarity in that look.
“Is this woman starting to develop feelings for me too? But Shane likes her!”
Emmanuel pretended not to notice and kept his distance from Red.
“Marilyn, did you bring more people home again?”
As soon as they entered the house, they heard the voice of an old lady.
The old lady’s face was full of anger. But when she saw that Red had brought people home, her expression changed instantly, and she immediately put on a polite smile.
“Haha. Sorry for intruding, Madam! If you don’t welcome us, we’ll leave right away!” Terence said kindly to the old lady.
She seemed a few years older than him; maybe they had known each other before, but he couldn’t remember.
“Grandma, they are my friends. They accompanied me home. So, I invited them in for a cup of tea!”
Red quickly came over to support the old lady.
“Oh, I see! I thought it was your sister bringing some random people home again. I would have kicked them out!”
The mention of Red’s sister made the old lady very angry, but the next moment, she turned hospitable and walked towards Terence with a smile and asked, “Who are you, Sir? You seem familiar to me!”
The term “sir” made ference even more excited as he quickly said, “Haha, I left Anchortown many years ago, and I’m back to visit today! Madam, you’re a local. You should know Alton Blue, right?”
