The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 603

"Sir, lady, have you booked a hotel? I will help you deliver your luggage to the hotel first, and then I will introduce you to the situation on our island."

The three people walked forward together. The boy had introduced himself to Casey and Edith. His name was Gardner and he lived on Moon Island with his parents. His parents were the owner of a small restaurant on Moon Island. His family depended on that restaurant for their livelihood.

Gardner was born on the island. Although he had reached the age of the college entrance examination, the education conditions on the island were too poor. Although there was a high school, there was no chance to hold the college entrance examination.

The wealthy people on the island usually send their children directly to school inland. People who settle on the island like Gardner's family, but were not wealthy, would often choose to let their children stay at home to help.

Now, it was the peak tourist season. The high schools on the island had also closed classes. Gardner came to the place where the cruise ship stopped every day to see if he could take some private tour guide work. In addition to subsidizing the family, he could also hear many things about the outside world from the tourists.

The boy who had lived on the island had been very yearning for the outside world since he was a little baby.

Casey originally wanted to say that he had not booked a hotel yet and asked Gardner to recommend a few good hotels, but after another thought, hotels all over the world were the same. Since he was traveling out, it would be better to feel more like staying in a homestay.

So he asked Gardner with a smile, "Do you have any extra rooms at your home? I want to experience the lifestyle of the local people here. I will pay you at the price of the hotel."

Gardner was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Casey to want to live in his home. He hesitated and said, "There are rooms, but...the conditions of my home are not as good as those in the hotel. Although my house is built by Moon Island and it is a double-story bungalow, the beds in my home may not be as soft as the hotel’s."

Casey said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I just want to experience your local customs. It’s okay as long as your parents agree."

After speaking, Casey asked Edith to see if she had any comments.

Edith said that she always stayed in hotels and wanted to experience the feeling of living in a homestay.

Gardner immediately called his parents and asked about it. After confirming that they could live in, the three of them walked towards Gardner's house together.

On the way, Gardner introduced Casey and Edith a lot of characteristics here. He told Edith and Casey about the advantages and disadvantages of many attractions, and reminded Casey and Edith of those attractions where were so boring and expensive.

The advantage of finding a private tour guide was that you could avoid some boring and money-trapping places and save a lot of time. If it was those professional tour guides on the island, they couldn’t wait to let tourists go to those money-trapping places. After all, the tour guides served scenic spots, not tourists.

It didn't take long before the three of them arrived at Gardner's house. The residents here lived in uniform houses. The rich could also live in the villas in the center of the island. Gardner's family was in general condition. Even if the house was the same as the others’, it could be seen that the decoration was quite poor.

Casey and Edith didn’t care about it.

Gardner's parents warmly entertained Casey and Edith, cooked them a lot of hearty dishes, and carefully cleaned the room they were staying in.

Casey wanted to pay Gardner's family for room and meals at the hotel price, but Gardner wanted to learn about outside affairs from Casey and Edith, so he told his parents that Casey was his friend. It was naturally that Gardner's parents were unwilling to accept the money.
