chapter 1633
However, the young lady had never been shy.
Zayn was a mature man in his thirties and had been through a lot. He was also reserved and tolerant. Tessa understood that. Therefore, even though Zayn had never taken the initiative to invite her on a date, she had never been bothered by it. In any case, he had always paid for everything every time they went on a date. He was also always concerned for her, bought her many gifts, and took care of her attentively.
The only thing that made Tessa feel embarrassed was that he had never touched her.
He was ten years older than her. Perhaps Zayn was conservative? He had always felt like everything was still up in the air with the girl, so it was not right for him to touch the girl. He just could not do it. Therefore, he had been maintaining the limit that a man should have.
The young lady, on the other hand, was desperately anxious. However, she could only be anxious. On the contrary, she liked this restrained man even more. Since they were not in a hurry, knowing that he certainly liked her was enough. In any case, she knew he absolutely was not a man who could dally with others. ’
Just when the two of them were having a meal together, Zayn received the call from the old woman, she wanted to personally thank them, but she did not know where to find them.
Zayn immediately said, “Ma’am, we’ll go to you now.”
After all, the old woman would have to take several buses to get to them, so it was more convenient for them to meet her. Zayn then took Tessa along and drove to meet the old woman before they got to order their food.
The woman had a glow on her face and was more vigorous compared to a month ago.
When she saw Zayn, she was so happy that she cried. “Mister Smith, I had saved eight hundred dollars this month. It’s enough for my travel expenses to go home. I’m making a trip back to my hometown and I bought you some fruits before leaving.”
Zayn took out ten thousand dollars and handed it to the old woman. “Ma’am, you don’t have to rush to thank me. You can first return home. You can buy me fruits after you’ve settled everything back home and come out to work again. I’m guessing that eight hundred dollars are only enough for your fares. You must have some money on you when returning home, so take this money with you.”
With profound respect and caution, the old woman declined the offer. “No, no, no, how can I take your money? I...”
“Just take it,” said Tessa. “It’s the same if you return the money to US after you’ve earned more in the future. You’ve not returned to your hometown in years, you can’t just have nothing but your fares with you, right? Then, where would you get the money if you want to travel back to South city to work in the future?”
The old woman thought that made sense as well, so she did not insist. The couple then sent the old woman to the train station together. Tessa took care of everything; from purchasing the train tickets and snacks, finding the carriage, escorting the old woman onto the train, to finding the seats.
Looking at such a capable young lady, Zayn suddenly wanted to marry her as soon as possible. It was time for him to settle down and start a family. He could not wait for it. 3 After they had settled all the matters for the old woman, Zayn turned to Tessa. “You should be hungry, right?”
After all, they had not had lunch, and it was already four o’clock in the afternoon. Tessa patted her stomach and whined cutely, “Mm- hmm, you have to buy me two meals later today!”
