Just then, the guard saw him and opened the gate to let Krista in.
He sure wasn’t going to mess with Terrence’s wife.
As soon as Krista walked through the gate, she spotted Emery.
“Emery,” she called out with a soft smile as she walked over.
Hearing her voice, Emery looked up, about to call out her name,
but then he remembered others might hear.
Many people thought Krista was his mom.
He ran up to her, beaming, and whispered, “Krista, why’d you
come bring me lunch?”
“I messed up breakfast and felt bad, so I got you lunch from Riverspire Bistro,” she said, giving his little head a loving pat.
Emery took the lunchbox and asked tentatively, “Are you gonna bring me lunch again?”
“Sure, tomorrow and the day after, but not the day after that!”
“Why not?”
Chapter 12
Krista smiled, “I’m off to Southmount for a comic convention the
day after tomorrow. After that, I’m heading back to my country. I
came back mainly for convention, and I got here a few days early
to see you and your dad.”
She couldn’t stay at the school for long. After chatting with
Emery for a bit, she had to leave.
Emery felt upset about Krista leaving, so he called Terrence using
his smartwatch.
“Dad, do you know Krista is leaving in three days?”
Terrence’s gaze sharpened. “Yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? I don’t want her to go.”
Terrence paused for a moment. “You like her?”
“Yeah. I wish I could spend more time with her. But she said after
the comic convention in Southmount in three days, she’s flying
out of the country, and I won’t see her again for a long time.”
Terrence suddenly changed the topic. “You wanna go to
Southmount?”
