Chapter 516

Reynaldo’s anxious voice came instantly from the other end of the phone, “Where are you now?”

He knew he was worried about me.

I busily smiled at him and said, “It’s okay, you don’t need to be nervous. Anton just took me back to that small town to see his father.”

The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

I called out to him in confusion, “Reynaldo?”

The man remained silent. Just when I thought the call had been disconnected, he suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Got it, take care of yourself.”

“Well, I quickly…”

I hadn’t finished speaking when he hung up the phone.

I stared blankly at the darkened screen of my phone.

What’s wrong? Is he angry again?

But haven’t we already opened our hearts and promised to trust each other in the future?

Why was he being so petty again?

With a heavy heart, Anton suddenly chuckled and said, “Was he panicking?”

I frowned and looked at Anton, “What do you mean?”

Chapter 16

“That small town, carrying our memories of youth, he’s afraid you’ll remember.”

That is to say, I met them in that small town.

Could it really be the small town where my grandmother lived?

I lowered my gaze, with a hint of curiosity rising in my heart.

The town was about a three-hour drive from the city.

I slept in the car, and when I woke up, the car was almost entering the small town.

Although I didn’t visit my grandmother’s house often, all the roads leading to the small town have undergone significant changes.

But as the car drove into the small town, I immediately recognized it – this was the town where my grandmother lived.

The sign at the entrance of the village still looks the same as in my memory.

A sudden excitement surged in my heart.

I lay on the window, excitedly looking at the scenes on both sides of the street.

However, many low houses and tile houses in memory have now turned into high-rise buildings.

The once scattered small grocery store has now become a neat and orderly shop.

Now, a completely new scene, there is no longer the nostalgia of childhood.

Chapter 16

The excitement in my heart dissipated little by little.

I leaned back in the chair, feeling a little downhearted.

That year, my grandmother was taken to Freybourne by my parents because she was sick.

Even the medical facilities in big cities couldn’t cure my grandmother’s illness.

Two years later, my grandmother passed away.

Now my grandmother is no longer in this small town; this small town is just a strange town to me.

Anton’s car suddenly stopped, and I asked him in confusion, “Aren’t we supposed to go see your father?”

“No rush, let’s eat first.”

Anton got out of the car as he spoke.

I also got off the bus.

In front of me was a small restaurant.

When I walked in with Anton, the landlady gave us an extra look.

I thought it was because Anton was too good-looking.

It turned out that the landlady knew us unexpectedly.

She said, “Oh, is this Anton with Esmeralda?”

I looked at Anton in shock.

Anton smiled and nodded at the landlady, then pulled me into the restaurant.

Chapter 516

I couldn’t contain my astonishment and asked him, “What’s going on? How does she know us?”

“During that time, we used to come here often for meals, and your favorite dish was their spaghetti.”

Anton whispered, glanced around, and murmured, “I didn’t expect this restaurant to still be here, but it’s just not quite the same as before.”
