A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 39

When Thomas heard the noise, he looked at Maria.

"Thomas, it's not right for you to keep disturbing my sleep." The latter smiled and spoke gently.

However, Thomas and the audience watching the livestream could feel her annoyance and disgust.

As Thomas stared at Maria, he wondered, "What do you mean that I kept disturbing your sleep? Didn't I just wake you up three times?"

Despite that, Thomas remained cordial. "I'm sorry, Ms. Dane. I want to talk to Demi.

"She doesn't want to talk to you, so why do you keep knocking on the door? You're disturbing our rest! I'm pretty tired from cracking walnuts. You can't prevent me from sleeping, right?" Maria asked rudely.

Hearing that, Thomas hesitated for a while before apologizing.

Even though he was furious, Maria was more experienced than him. So, he couldn't retort and could only leave quietly.

He thought, "Demi must be visiting her grandmother at Lindton recently.

"Once the show ends, I'll visit her grandmother's house."

…

Everyone gathered in the production team's courtyard at 3:00 pm again.

"Today, we're going to have a tea party. All of you will have to eat the fruits and dried goods from Creek Village," Matt announced, pointing to a nearby table.

There were many fruits and dried goods on the table.

Water droplets remained on the surface of the freshly washed food.

After that, the staff introduced the food while the guests ate them. Occasionally, they gave a thumbs-up and praised the fruits.

"I hope that a few good businesses will collaborate with Creek Village so that the clean, tasty, and affordable agricultural products can be sold," the staff told the camera.

"Alright. Once everyone eats their food, we'll leave this place. You can choose to leave either by riding a tractor or a donkey. What is your choice?" Matt questioned cheerfully.

"We'll ride a donkey!" Everyone chorused in unison.

…

One hour later, everyone rode their donkeys as they made their way out of the mountain.

The comments poured in again.

"It looks so peaceful!"

"I want to ride a donkey too!"

"Riding a donkey seems to be more comfortable than riding a horse for girls. Donkeys are shorter and more gentle, so we won't have to worry about accidentally falling off."

"I've decided to visit a village when I'm free. I want to ride a donkey."

…

As the sun set, everyone arrived at the place they gathered at the previous day.

Hearing that, Thomas was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled stiffly. "Can you give me your new number?"

Though he felt very uncomfortable and upset, he told himself that he owed Demi. As such, he had to bear with it.

"No!" Demi declared, her gaze indifferent and condescending.

Thomas fell silent.

George, Chad, Wendy, and Nigel looked at each other in surprise when they heard that. However, no one probed further.

Meanwhile, Ana glanced at Demi, then looked down.

She hoped that the latter would remain like this. So, the Pitt family's regret and patience would one day disappear.

…

At the same time in Lindton, Margaret knew that Demi would come back that night, so she started looking around from 4:00 pm.

At first, she just looked at the entrance. Then, she gradually stood there without walking away.

"Have you recovered, Mrs. Moone?"

The neighbors who passed by were stunned by her appearance.

"When you fainted that day, we were so scared. We hurriedly called the doctor, but he said there was no hope left. They even told us to prepare your funeral."
