518 How Time Flies
Anna knew it was pointless to say anything since the venue had been torn down. However, she was relieved when she realized Isabella was in a good mood and wasn't as annoying as Jasper described.
Then she said to Peace, "You should stop causing trouble, Peace. Jasper has always been generous to Isabella. He rents out hotels in the area for her, and he might have rented the entire island if | hadn't stopped him."
"It's because Isabella is deserving," Peace said as she looked around.
With a smile, Isabella explained, "He didn't actually rent the entire island. We only decided to book the venue last month, and half of it has already been taken. You can hang around our hotel. It's safe here, and you can see the hotel staff everywhere. But take a look over there.’’
Then Anna cast a glance in the direction Isabella pointed. And she saw a police line drawn along the shore a short distance from the stage.
"Someone else owns that side. I'll have to warn the kids not to go there later. That place doesn't belong to us, and | think it's not very safe there.”
Anna looked away in doubt and asked, "Why is it not safe there? "
"| arrived here two weeks ago. | had no idea about this back then, so | accidentally broke into that place. And | noticed that everyone inside the garden over there is armed."
"What kind of people are they?" Peace asked nervously as she removed her sunglasses. 517 How Time Flies
Isabella said, shaking her head, "I don’t know. Jasper had his assistants investigate it, but they found nothing. He even wanted to change the venue because he was worried. | thought this place was ideal, so | asked him to stay here"
"Don't worry. After all, we're not in England now. It's common for people to keep firearms on private property in foreign countries. I'll talk to the kids later and tell them to avoid that area.”
"Right," Isabella said, nodding.
Peace sat back down, put her sunglasses over her eyes, and grumbled, "Please don't tell Martin. He's been getting on my nerves recently, and | want to teach him a lesson. It appears that | won't even have to do it myself.”
"Isn't that Gary?" Anna asked, pointing to the young boy in the distance who was piling sand on the beach. He appeared slimmer and taller than he had been a few years ago.
"Gary, come here!" Isabella nodded and waved to the little boy in the distance.
The little boy immediately dropped his shovel and ran toward them. The sun had made his face flush. He walked beneath the awning, looking at Anna and Peace.
"Gary, do you still remember me?" Anna softly asked.
"Yes. Hello, Aunt Anna and Aunt Peace,” Gary said with a shy smile.
Since she and Gary left for America, Isabella didn't come back for many years. Anna looked at Gary carefully and noticed his features were similar to Ada's. On the other hand, his hair was as red as a blazing fire. He appeared slightly different than when he was younger.
‘‘Gary, you'll be going back to Birmingham with them later. You'll do 517 How Time Flies great, right?" Isabella asked.
Gary nodded, "Yes, III be a good boy. | haven't seen Tammy in a long time, and | really miss her."
"I've prepared gifts for everyone. But because they were too heavy, | asked Dad to have them sent to Birmingham for you. I'll give you the gifts When | get to Birmingham." he said.
