Chapter 18 Being Reluctant to Leave
Nancy sat quietly with a stuffed rabbit toy in her arms. What an adorable girl!
Alex glanced at Nancy and thought she was meek and quiet. He understood why Mr. Brook liked her so much. Alex also became more certain that the Brook family had found its missing daughter.
The tablet computer was put on the small table, and there was a plate of fruits on the left side of the computer. The fruits were all washed and various, including grapes, strawberries, bunny-shaped apple slices, bananas, and oranges.
There was a cup of milky tea next to the plate of fruits. On the right side of the computer were all kinds of dried fruit and candies. Nancy was inundated with all kinds of delicious food and snacks.
Nancy held the rabbit toy in her arms, her chin resting at the top of the toy. She stared at Alex, who was busy putting all he bought on the table. Everything was handily placed for Nancy.
Alex reminded Nancy of Mr. Benjamin, who would also place food in order as Nancy ate.
"Thank you, Uncle Alex."
Nancy thanked Alex sweetly.
Alex wore a gentle smile.
"Miss Brook, you can call me at any time if you need anything else."
Nancy nodded. Alex looked at the Elderly Mr. Brook, "I will take my leave if you don't have any needs."
"Ok. You did a good job."
The Elderly Mr. Brook looked at Nancy and felt satisfied.
Alex left with a glimmer of a smile in his eyes. He looked calm, but actually, he was excited, almost to the point of jumping up after he closed the door.
Alex thought Nancy was polite and cute with her sweet smile.
Alex was also delighted that he was praised by the Elderly Mr. Brook!
"Grandpa, have some bananas."
Nancy carefully put her rabbit toy aside, then peeled a banana and handed it to her grandpa.
"Good girl. Nancy, have some more fruits."
"I got it."
Nancy nodded and ate a grape. One side of her cheeks bulged out and a smile brightened her face. Nancy looked so lovely.
Because of Nancy, the Elderly Mr. Brook thought the grapes looked delicious.
The Elderly Mr. Brook couldn't help but eat a grape. It tasted sweet!
Nancy ate grapes and fed grapes to her grandpa while she watched cartoons. After eating five grapes in succession, Nancy ate a strawberry. It tasted sweet and a little sour, and was juicy. Nancy could smell grapes and strawberries on her breath.
"Grandpa, the strawberries are also delicious."
The Elderly Mr. Brook happily had some strawberries, and then pointed to snacks, "Nancy, have some snacks."
Nancy said softly, "Okay."
