My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 478 It Was not Carl

Uncle saw Gloria come in and glanced at her before saying to Kenny, "Yes there is, but it's not safe. "

Kenny looked back at Gloria and didn't say anything more.

It was still raining for the next few days, and the roads condtions didn't get any better, so even if the county's government sent someone to fix the circuits and signals, they couldn't get in.

Kenny and Gloria could only stay at Uncle's house all the time.

When it rained, the uncle didn't have to go out to do farm work, so he often held his pipe while sitting in the rocking chair at the front door and watched the rain outside, and occasionally cuddled the cat.

The food he ate was all freshly picked from the vegetable garden every day.

Gloria and Kenny lived in the uncle's house, so naturally she would took care of picking vegetables and cooking.

But she still didn't know how to burn firewood, so it's usually the uncle who cooked the fire, Gloria who cooked the food, and Kenny who washed the dishes after the meal.

When she woke up this morning, Gloria listened to the sound of rain on the house.

After listening for a while, she turned her head to look at Kenny's face.

Kenny lay down by her side and his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep. But Gloria knew that he had a shallow sleep recently and when she saw that he slightly frowned, she knew that he was awake now.

As it was, a few seconds later, the man beside her opened his eyes slightly and his voice was hoarse, "Um hum. "

Gloria then went to the other end of the bed, got out of bed and put on her jacket and headed for the door.

The past few days she had known it and every day she got up from the side of Kenny's feet to get out of bed.

She went downstairs, opened the door and walked out.

The house was built on a hill, and there was a small movable platform in front of the door, and then a mountain forest.

At this time, a white mist was rising in the mountain forest.

After long rain and fog, there must be a sunny day.

When it became the sunny day, the circuitry and signal towers would soon be fixed because someone would come to fix the road immediately, and Carl and the others would thus be able to find them as soon as possible.

They would be out of here.

It's only been two or three days, but when she thought back, it seemed like a long time.

Gloria could see the black plastic slippers she was wearing on her feet when she lowered her head, which were a bit too big for her feet, revealing a sliver of the back of her white feet.

She walked in the mud and there was mud splashing up onto the corners of her pants.

"Girl, bring a basket over here."

At that moment, the uncle's yell was heard.

Gloria heard it and looked over, and then she saw the uncle standing in a green vegetable field, raising his mud-covered hand and waving it at her.

The distance was a bit far, and Gloria didn't know what the uncle was doing, raising her voice and responding, "OK, I will come right away. "

Gloria carried the basket over, saw the uncle was squatting in the vegetable field, pulling something from a pile of freshly grubbed up soil.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

After so many days of rain, the ground was soaked with mud, and Gloria pulled her trousers up to her knees and walked over carefully.

The mud was so sticky that Gloria had a thick layer of mud stuck to her slippers' treads.

By the time she reached the uncle, her slippers was covered with mud and was particularly heavy.

The uncle wiped the mud off his hands, handed one thing to Gloria and smiled, "Do you know this? "

Gloria stared at the object for a few seconds before confirming, "It's a sweet potato."

Uncle was full of surprise, "You know this too?"

"I know them, I bought them at the supermarket, but I've never seen one just dug out of the ground." Gloria said, curiously squatting down and taking one up.

After looking at it for a while, she bit the corner of her lip and said, "It's a little small."

"I'll just try to dig up a few to try, and if they have been eatable, I can take these back to cook sweet potato porridge. " Uncle said, and put the sweet potatoes he had shaved into the basket.

Gloria also helped him pick them up together.

Finally, a smooth-skinned sweet potato was left, and the uncle took a knife to peel it and handed it to Gloria, "Taste it, this kind of sweet potato tastes sweet and crunchy too."

Gloria took a bite and it was indeed sweet and crunchy.

"Sweet, right?"

"Well, it's so sweet. "

Gloria helped Uncle to carry the basket and walked behind, Uncle walked in front with a scythe, and they chatted with each other.

When they were almost at home, Gloria shouted towards the house, "Kenny, we dug some greatly sweet sweet potatoes!"

Gloria's words were spoken, but there was no response from Kenny.

Gloria said to herself, "Is he not up yet?"

She thought as she walked back with the uncle.

As she reached the door, she saw that there seemed to be more people in the house.

Gloria was stunned for a moment, and her face slowly faded.

It was Carl and the others who had come over, right?

Uncle squinted as he stared into the house, "Someone is here? "

"It's supposed to be our friends coming to us." Gloria pursed her lips and made a faint smile.

The uncle was also stunned, and it took a few seconds for him to respond, reaching out to take down the basket she was carrying, "Go take a look, and I'll go to cook a sweet potato porridge."

When Gloria turned back, she only saw the uncle turning back and carrying the basket to the kitchen.

Gloria, on the other hand, went to the hall.

There were no windows in the hall, and when she entered from the outside, because of the alternating light, her eyes couldn't see the people inside for a while.

Kenny was sitting on a wooden chair, and the man sitting across from him was not even Carl!

As soon as Gloria entered, they both turned their heads towards her. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Kenny had no expression on his face, his eyes so deep that she couldn't even tell what he was thinking.

The other man, on the other hand, smiled slightly towards Gloria, "Hey, Gloria."

The surprise on Gloria's face could not be stopped before it was too late, "James... Mr.Moore, you... Why are you here? "

Yes, the man sitting across from Kenny is James.

Gloria had known from Kenny that Carl had come over to look for Edith, and had been speculating that the first person to come over might be Carl, but it's more likely that Shi Ye is the one who came over.

Although Kenny didn't bring him out this time, in Gloria's opinion, Shi Ye was an all-powerful special assistant, so powerful that there's nothing he couldn't do.

In any case, she never thought that the first person who came here would be James.

"Of course I came over to find you." James showed a frank and pure smile, as if he simply knew that Gloria was trapped here so he brought someone to find her.

While James made it sound easy, Gloria felt so complicated.

She didn't tell James that she came to find Edith, except for the fact that Kenny knew about it.

She didn't deny that James was capable, but it's simply impossible for him to find her in such a short period of time without knowing her schedule.
