Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 312

I smiled, carried the basket with one hand, and held the watermelon I had just picked with another. I walked over to Alex and said, “What has brought you here? Didn’t you say you would be busy with work lately?”

Alex put down Clarie Bear, took the basket and the watermelon from me, and said, “Because I know the fruits here are ripe, I have to come over to stay for a few days and enjoy them. Will you allow it, Ms.Clara?”

“Sure!”

Alex had opened a psychological counseling studio in Newton Town. It had been running well over the years.

He used to visit Clarie Bear and me often in the first couple of years when I had moved here in the HL Area. But he had become busier in recent years and could only visit us once or twice a year now.

After dinner and some fruits, Clarie Bear was clamoring to go out for a walk. The sun went down late during summertime.

After all, everyone had nothing else to do, so we went ahead to take a walk along the alley together.

There were a lot of roses planted on both sides of the alley, and they were flourishing in midsummer. Clarie Bear liked to play nearby there, especially liked to bring Nathan and Joey with her.

Because every time Clarie came, Nathan would buy her an ice cream whenever she asked for it.

Nathan came out of the cold-drink shop, with three ice creams in hand. He gave one to Clarie Bear and Joey each, then handed one to me.

I couldn’t help laughing - I was treated like a child after all.

Clarie licked the ice cream carefully, looked up at Nathan, and said, “Uncle Nathan, why do you always buy one for mom? Mom says only kids eat ice cream, adults don’t.”

Nathan smiled, “Your mother is a kiddo just like you.”

Clarie was confused. She took a look at Alex, and then she said to Nathan, “Uncle Alex is the same age as my mommy, so he is a child too! Why didn’t you buy one for him?”

Alex was taking a sip of water and immediately spit it out. And then he looked at Clarie and said, “Sweetie, Uncle Alex is a grown-up man, not a kid. I don’t eat things like this. And I am different from your mother - She will always be kiddo, no matter how old your mommy is.”

Clarie nodded, but she didn’t seem to understand it completely.

Night fell slowly. The street lights on both sides of the alley were on, and I couldn’t help but space out - Luis and I seemed to have walked through such a long alley a few years ago.

The alley was also full of roses of various colors. It was just that there were no night markets or hot-pots at the end of this alley.

“What are you thinking?” Alex patted me.

I realized that Clarie and Joey had run farther away, and Nathan was following behind the two children.

Facing Alex, I shook my head, coming back to my senses.

Alex looked at Nathan who was protecting the children. He looked at me, raised his eyebrows, and said, “The personality and appearance are not bad, except for being a little older, he is a keeper.”

I was confused by Alex’s inexplicable words. I looked at him, frowning, “What are you talking about?”

He shrugged, “Trying to find someone for you!”

I laughed, “It seems that you are not so busy with work lately, are you?”

Alex curled his lips and said with ease, “Honestly, I think he’s a great catch. He’s been great to you, and he’s been looking out for you and Clarie Bear these years. You are in your early thirties now, it’s time for you to truly move on from the past and start planning the rest of life properly and nicely. Find someone who can keep you company, love you, and care for you. So you won’t be a lonely old lady when Clarie Bear grows up and leaves home.”

I was speechless, ignored what Alex had said, and kept up with Nathan and two kids walking in front of me.

He followed me and kept on his persuasion, “Hey, listen to me. I mean it - Dennis George is about to get engaged. Now that you’ve let go of the past, you should think about your future seriously.”

I stiffened suddenly, but it was just for a moment. I was stunned for a few seconds, and then I looked back at Alex, and asked casually, “Dennis is getting engaged?”

He nodded, “With Olivia Pearson. After all, Olivia is his responsibility. Even when there is no love, there is still the responsibility. It won’t make that much of a difference even they do get married. But for you... I think Nathan’s great.”

I didn’t say more, sighed slightly, and continued to walk along the alley. The night was getting darker and darker.
