Chapter 204

I was helpless as Beckett, and I left the doctor’s clinic. He was stoic and hadn’t said a word, but his hand holding me that he was still here. He’s just unsure of what to do next

I let him take me wherever he wanted to go I sat in the passenger seat, basking in Beckett’s solemn company. This wibe t time I’d seen him like this like a bear that was ready to hibernate in springtime. This was forced on him and doesn’t mat i his character

Beckett took the famihar road towards the seaside. We passed by resorts and restaurants, even Sea, Salt, and Bread We wer almost at the boundary of Hawthorne Bay and Brighton City when Beckett entered a dirt path that was sandwiched betwer tree lines on each side

That was the end of my ulence. Where are we going?” I wanted to know because if he were taking me on a vacation again would miss my shift at Sea Salt, and Bay The possibility of my getting fired by evil manager Robert on my second night w high if I went AWOL

“Somewhere,” Beckett murmured Tll make sure you won’t be late for your shift.”

That‘ was good enough for me, so I settled in, enjoying the green scenery along the way. It didn’t take long before fences started to break the tree line. We were entering a private property, the sign said.

This place almost resembled entering Beckett’s estate, except that further inside the property came a wide field of vegetable plots.

There were a few farmers tending the farm some were weeding, some were watering the plots, and others were picking produce.

“Where are we?” I blurted out, amazed by the scenery I was seeing compared to the city. This has that countryside feel 1 wouldn’t be surprised if I saw horses, cows, and goats lurking around.

“We’re just outside the city,” Beckett murmured, his voice gaining that solemn sound to it.

“I can see that,” I said. “But where exactly are we? I’ve been living in Hawthorne Bay my whole life, I never knew it had a place like this.”

Because if I did, I would have moved here a long time ago.

“Because it wasn’t here before,” Beckett explained as he took a turn through the vegetable plots. The gravel groaned bene the wheels, and Beckett rolled down his windows, fresh air slipping through the opening

A few farmers were already wary of the SUV, but when they saw who was driving, their faces hit up. Some velies! Mes ketts name, some waved, and in return, Beckett said hi to everyone. His voice was loud enough for them to hear him, in didn’t convey his gloomy emotions while he was driving.

“You know them?” I asked, stunned. It’s not something new that Becken was recognized in places that we went le but wher surprising is that Beckett seemed to know the people on the farm

“Yeah,” he smiled at me as he replied He actually smiled the kind that reached his eyes and made h

Checks it up?

His mood shifted faster than his sunker, and who was I to complam I was almost are the brink of being contained with his gloomy mood

When I turned to face the front of the car again I saw a hunter had already conged in the dista

mansion, a two–story house with a series of balconies on the second floor, huge pillars, and a well–manicured lawn

The house wasn’t what surprised me at all, but the sheer number of children playing in the playground just beside the mansion. There was a garden, and I already counted ten kids of different ages.

There was a lady in a white blouse overseeing the kids on the slide, and another adult was stationed at the monkey bar Twenty kids, I counted.

“What is this place?” I hushed as I processed everything that I saw. This was like a movie clip where the kids were sent to boarding school. Even the aesthetic of the mansion resembles a school in the lower ground, and quarters on the second floor.

“Come on, let me show you,” Beckett urged as he unlocked the door. He was in a hurry to slide out of the car. I realized the reason when I looked back at the playground. All kids were already barrelling towards Beckett, as if they were children who saw their father coming from a long trip abroad

Beckett scooped the little girl in pigtails and a pink summer dress. She was the fastest of them all, or maybe she saw Beckett first and made a run for him.

Then Beckett ruffled the hair of the boy who was tugging on his shirt, pouting as he reached his hand up, begging Beckett to carry him.

Beckett scooped the boy. Now he was balancing one child in each arm. He’s putting all that gym time to good use. I thought, as I smiled watching Beckett with these kids. I don’t need to hear his reason for driving here. I can see why

I snapped out of my trance when a series of raps echoed from my door. There were already kids outside the car grinning at me, waiting for me to come out. Their excited voice spilled from the driver’s open window, and when I opened my door one kid immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me to where Beckett was now crouched down, trying to listen to all the words these kids were saying.

“He’s got a girlfriend!” The girl in the yellow shirt who was holding my hand yelled,

All eyes were on me, big with wonder, surprise, and excitement.
