âWhere have you been these past two days? Youâre always appearing and disappearing like a ghost,â Lindsey Wolfe frowned.
Greg Jensen said with a silly smile, âI havenât been up to much, just catching fish in the river to sell to Director Xia.â
Lindsey Wolfe glared at him and said, â Where canât Director Xia buy fish? She buys your fish only because she thinks youâre a simpleton. You shouldnât catch fish anymore, itâs an unnecessary burden to her.â
âMmm.â
Greg Jensen agreed readily with his mouth, but internally he was chuckling to himself.
His kind of fish was indeed hard to find, and even if Lois Abbott could find it, she wouldnât dare eat someone elseâs.
âBy the way, theyâre going to raise the roof beams for the house these next two days. You should hurry back and help out.â
âOkay.â
Greg Jensen smiled and walked out of the vegetable store.
Amber Hall sat on the side, looking at Greg Jensenâs broad back, her beautiful eyes full of spring, she mused, âHas Greg gotten even more robust?â
âI donât think so?â
Lindsey Wolfe also looked up and glanced, her eyes filled with an indescribable sentiment.
âOh dear, it looks like itâs going to rain outside. I just remembered that the windows at home might be open. Freya, you keep an eye on the shop, Iâll go home and close the windows.â
âSure, go ahead. Iâll go back too when thereâs no one else here later.â
âOkayâ¦â
Amber Hall smiled, pretending to be casual as she walked outside.
Once she left the vegetable store, her pace quickened as she chased after Greg Jensen.
Seeing that the sky was turning bad, Greg Jensen didnât take the main road but took a shortcut, hoping to get back to Peach Blossom Village quickly.
He hadnât gone far when he heard footsteps from behind.
Then, Amber Hall came running over, panting.
Seeing Greg Jensen just ahead, she slowed down, her face brightened with joy, and she said with a smile, âSilly Greg, were you waiting for me?â
âNo⦠no, I wasnât.â
Greg Jensen forced a smile and involuntarily took a step back.
Amber Hall didnât care about that, she walked quickly up to him and wrapped his arm around her.
Greg Jensenâs body shivered as he felt the softness transmitted from his arm, and a flame suddenly rose in his heart.
âSi⦠Sister-in-lawâ¦â
âShh, donât talk.â
Amber Hall, seeing no one around, pulled Greg Jensen into the nearby cornfield.
By the time Greg Jensen realized what was happening, Amber Hall had already kissed him.
âNot hereâ¦â
The cornfield they were in wasnât far from a small path next to it.
Although that path was not frequently used, it was still outside.
Greg Jensen wanted to refuse, but Amber Hall was insistent, displaying the charm of a mature woman to its fullest.
After several temptations, Greg Jensen finally succumbed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They didnât know how much time had passed when suddenly they heard footsteps and voices in the distance, and the two in the cornfield froze.
âUncle, Greg came back today.â
âThat rascal, he still knows to come back. He must have been up to no good in the mountains.â
The two of them peered through the cornstalks and saw Lindsey Wolfe pushing a tricycle, chatting with Uncle as they walked from a distance.
Greg Jensenâs heart suddenly leaped, tense and motionless.
But Widow Hall just kissed him on the face with a giggle.
Greg Jensen, suppressing the irritation in his heart, glared fiercely at Amber Hall, signaling her not to move. But she simply didnât listen.
Lindsey Wolfe, pushing the tricycle and chatting with Uncle, had no idea that just two meters from her in the cornfield, two people were lying down.
Only after watching Lindsey Wolfe walk away did Greg Jensen let out a sigh of relief and said angrily, âHave you gone mad? Didnât you see Uncle and the others right next to us?â
âWhatâs there to be afraid of, they didnât find out, did they?â
Amber Hall put on her clothes with a look of satisfaction and, looking up at Greg Jensenâs solid chest, dreamily smiled and asked, âComing to my place tonight?â
âGo to hell!â
Greg Jensen glared at her annoyedly and walked home after getting dressed.
âTsk, pull up your pants and forget who I am.â
Amber muttered discontentedly, but thinking of the scene that had just unfolded, a smile crept back onto her face.
She looked in the direction Greg had left, cheerfully saying to herself, âSooner or later, you wonât be able to live without me.â
At this moment, Greg was also feeling somewhat helpless.
Amber, that woman, was just too formidable. Even with some experience under his belt, he still couldnât resist.
The tricks known only to experienced women truly are young peopleâs assassins.
Not just Greg, but even a seasoned veteran might not be able to withstand them.
Greg felt a bit guilty about Lois Abbott, but on second thought, he figured it wasnât a big deal.
Lois had long said she didnât mind if Greg saw other women, sheâd even once offered to find another woman for him.
No helping it, she just couldnât handle Gregâs energy.
Probably if that girl found out about this, she wouldnât get angry, but rather, sheâd likely cheer.
Greg smiled bitterly, shaking his head. When he looked up, he realized heâd already arrived home.
He pushed open the door, only to see Lindsey Wolfe looking at him coldly. âWhere have you been again?â
âI⦠I went to help Lois catch fish,â Greg blurted out a lie on the spur of the moment.
Lindsey Wolfe was taken aback, surprised she asked, âLois is here? Where is she?â
âSheâs already left.â
Greg had an idea and said, âLois said sheâs going to take me to see a doctor in a while. Auntie, Iâm not sick.â
Lindsey Wolfe was startled again, but soon caught on and smiled gently, âYes, Greg is very healthy, heâs not sick.â
After saying that, she couldnât help but express her feelings, âLois is really my benefactor. Sheâs been helping me make money, and now she wants to take Greg to the doctorâ¦â
Seeing this, Greg quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Heâd managed to bluff his way through.
But indeed, he was planning to have Lois take him to âsee the doctor,â so later he could explain to Lindsey why he had become smarter.
âGreg, you havenât visited our house yet, have you?â
Out of the blue, Lindsey stood up, smiling, âCome on, Iâll take you to see our new home.â
As she spoke, she looped her arm through Gregâs and walked toward the next yard over.
The evening breeze blew gently, carrying wafts of fragrance to their noses.
Greg smelled her scent and couldnât help but feel a stir of desire.
âWhat do you think? Itâs going up quickly, isnât it?â Lindsey suddenly said.
Greg, puzzled, looked up only to discover that the foundation of his house had already been laid, and they were now preparing to set up the wooden pillars. Peach Blossom Village was poor, but there was no shortage of timber resources. So, when the villagers built houses, they generally used wood for the beams and columns instead of concrete and steel.
The previous beams and columns had all been burned and couldnât be reused. This time, the wood had been bought from the town by Uncle Er.
It was a semi-idle season for farming, so there were plenty of able-bodied workers in the village. Plus, Lindsey had made quite a bit of money in the past two months, hence the rapid progress in building the house.
Therefore, in just half a month, the construction had already taken shape.
Greg and Lindsey would soon be moving into their new, spacious, and bright home.
