Joanne walked Oliver to the door, but she still sounded a little awkward.

“Joanne, can I come by more often?” Oliver’s voice was slightly cold, with a bit of aggrieved vulnerability,

“We don’t sell men’s clothes here,” Joanne said, turning him down politely.

But Oliver wouldn’t let it go. “My mom and my aunt can wear your clothes.”

Joanne paused for a moment. “Suit yourself.”

Oliver grinned with satisfaction, feeling pretty pleased with himself. At least he finally made some progress with her.

But as far as Elton was concerned, what Oliver thought was progress didn’t count for anything.

Oliver nudged Elton with his foot. “Look into her aunt for me. Why does she keep messing with my girl for no reason?”

Elton pointed at himself. “Why are you asking me? How would I know?”

“If you don’t know, then go find out!” Oliver shot back.

Elton, so used to being Oliver’s errand boy, just sighed and went off to do some digging for him.

“Here you go, all the info you wanted. Her aunt is always looking for a freebie. But don’t worry, she wouldn’t dare mess with Joanne. Joanne is basically the family’s favorite, so nobody’s gonna mess with her,” Elton said.

Still, Oliver couldn’t help but snitch on her.

He usually wouldn’t care, but the way her aunt talked to Joanne at the shop that day was just plain rude.

A few days later, Mr. Falls was itching to go back to Oliver’s coffee house, and finish that half-played game of chess.

Oliver was usually at the coffee house during the day.

So when Mr. Falls dropped by again, Oliver wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

“Mr.

“Don’t worry, I remember exactly where we left off. I’ll set it up for you,” he said.

Mr. Falls had felt a bit let down at first, but after hearing Oliver, he couldn’t help but think, “This kid really knows how to work people’

As they played, Mr. Falls asked, “Oliver, you planning to settle down here? Not going back to your country?”

Oliver didn’t bother hiding his intentions. “I’m gonna stay here for a couple years. Once I get my girl back, then I’ll head home.”

Mr. Falls was at a loss for words.

‘Hold on… his ex-girlfriend is my granddaughter?’ Mr. Falls realized, a bit taken aback.

“Oliver, you know, sometimes you should look to the future. Just because something’s behind you doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for you,” Mr. Falls advised.

Oliver just shrugged it off. “Mr. Falls, I really think Joanne and I are meant to be.”

Mr. Falls snorted. “If you two were so right for each other, you wouldn’t have messed with Joanne!”

“I never gave her a hard time, Mr. Falls. But when I stopped by Joanne’s shop the other day, her aunt was acting pretty tough, grabbed some clothes and didn’t even pay. Now that’s what I call bullying.” Oliver replied.

Mr. Falls’ ears pricked up. “When did that happen?”

Oliver gave a laugh. “Just a couple days ago. Didn’t Joanne mention it to you?”

Mr. Falls suddenly lost all interest in the game.

After seeing Mr. Falls off, Oliver headed upstairs. One of the staff asked, “Mr. Grant, should we put the chess set away?”

“Just leave it. I’m too lazy to set it up all over again next time,” Oliver said.

*********

When Mr. Falls walked through the door, the first thing he saw was Joanne’s second aunt, dressed to the nines in flashy jewelry.

Joanne’s aunt spotted her father-in-law as she came in, her smile faltering a little. “Looks like you went out today too, Dad?”

Mr. Falls snorted. “So you get to go out every day, but I can’t?”

“Mindy, sometimes you really need to lead by example. You’re always splurging, and now your two sons are just as reckless. And that whole mess with the actress, don’t even get me started! I’m done talking about them!” Mr. Falls said.

Her two sons were complete playboys, the total opposite of Joanne’s brother Jason.

Every good trait Jason had, her two sons were the exact opposite.
