The Farming Saint in the Starry Wasteland (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 I’m Back Now

Wallace did not know himself

It had simply become a habit.

During those few months, he came to Mercury Plaza every single day without fail. He would stand for a while where Elizabeth’s stall used to be, chat with a few familiar regulars, then quietly head home again.

Later, the major shipping companies restored the route operations, but the Tycoon Farm owner still never returned. Many of the old customers stopped coming too. Instead, they simply took transport ships straight to Planet A001 and visited the farm itself.

But Wallace still came.

Every day, he would stand on that empty patch of ground for a while.

Sometimes for half an hour at a stretch.

His wife said he had become obsessed. He did not argue with her.

Just like today, he had come again.

And today, as ever, nothing was different.

As usual, Wallace stood silently in that familiar spot, looking at the newly renovated plaza that had already finished reconstruction, and let out a quiet sigh.

Those days back then had been so good.

Lining up early in the morning to buy sweet potatoes and potatoes, chatting and laughing with the others waiting in line beside him.

Those sweet potatoes, potatoes, and strawberries…

Just thinking about them was enough to make his mouth water.

After the shipping routes reopened, he had looked into ticket prices before. They were expensive.

If he tightened his belt hard enough, he could probably afford one trip a month.

But the people over there… they were different from ordinary folks like him. Just standing among them made him feel restrained and out of place.

How could it compare to the easy comfort of the old stall back at Mercury Plaza?

His device suddenly vibrated.

Looking down, he saw it was his wife.

“Wallace, when are you coming home? Breakfast’s ready!”

Wallace was just about to reply when he suddenly heard the roar of engines in the distance.

He looked up and froze.

Several hover vehicles were approaching from afar in a neat line, steadily driving toward the plaza.

The models looked strangely familiar. It was a small passenger transport vehicle. And on the sides, there seemed to be some kind of logo…

Wallace narrowed his eyes, trying to see more clearly.

The hover vehicles drew closer and closer before finally stopping directly in the plaza.

The doors opened. A group of people stepped out.

Leading them was a young woman dressed in practical work clothes, her long hair tied into a ponytail as she directed the others unloading supplies behind her.

Her movements were quick and efficient, her voice crisp and clear. “Fiona, go check whether the water and power are connected first! Erin, take your team to set up the display racks. Make sure to keep them in order!”

Wallace’s eyes widened more and more.

That figure. That voice. That…

He rubbed his eyes hard. Then rubbed them again.

He had not mistaken her.

It was Ms. Schofield.

It was Ms. Schofield from Tycoon Farm!

A surge of heat shot straight to Wallace’s head, making his legs weaken slightly.

Steadying himself against a nearby railing, he hurried toward her. Faster and faster. Until he was almost jogging.

Schofield!”

“Ms. Schofield!” he shouted, his voice cracking from excitement. “Ms. Schofield!”

Elizabeth had been speaking with Fiona. Hearing someone call out to her, she turned around.

The moment she saw Wallace’s flushed, emotional face, she paused briefly before breaking into a smile.

“Mr. Lichtden!” Her eyes curved into crescents. “What are you doing here?”

Wallace hurried over to her, breathing heavily, unable to speak for several seconds.

He looked at her. At this young woman he had not seen for months. He suddenly felt his eyes grow hot.

“I–I came every day…” he finally managed to squeeze out. “Just to check… to see whether you’d come back…”

The smile on Elizabeth’s face deepened.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting,” she said gently. “I’m back now.”

Wallace nodded so hard it looked like his neck might snap.
