Sky knew that if he knocked on the door, he would see Rose.
Before he decided to come here, he was full of enthusiasm, with only one idea in his heart that he wanted to see her immediately. But he did not have that impulse after he was close at hand with her.
He was afraid that Rose would not want to see him and would not forgive him. He himself did not have the face to meet her and ask for forgiveness.
He was a complete jerk!
Sky slowly withdrew the hand that was about to knock on the door, and then turned and walked away.
He dressed casually, carrying a black backpack, with a black luggage in his hand, and then left silently.
Sky had not gone far before he heard a familiar laughter.
He hurried to a corner and hid, poking his head out to look at Rose's grandfather, Rose, and Doris, who were coming back down the path.
They might have gone to the farm, as they had picked some vegetables back, talking and laughing happily.
Sky had not seen Rose laughing so heartedly for a long time, as if she had returned to when she was 16. How much he missed that time. They were so young and sweet by then, but finally they had lost to the reality and Sophie's scheming mind.
Sky clenched his hand and felt his eyes sore.
"We're home at last." Doris said in a childlike voice.
Grandpa unlocked the door, pushed it open, and the three entered, one after the other, and then they shut the door.
Sky looked at the closed door for a while, slowly unclenched his fist, and then left.
By now it was too late to go back to the county and find a place to live, and Sky didn't plan to leave here.
He found a house not far away, which was just across the street from the Young family. There were fields and some fish ponds around here, and Sky could see Rose's and grandpa's activities.
"Auntie, I am going to stay here for about a week. I will give you some money." Sky then took out three thousand from his wallet and gave it to a fat woman.
Sky knew that cash was often used in the countryside, so he brought some with him.
The fat woman was joyful when she saw so much money, "That's a lot. You've only been here for a few days, and our conditions are just so-so... I... I charge you fifteen hundred."
She counted the money and wanted to give the other fifteen hundred back to Sky. Sky refused to accept it, saying, "I still need something to eat these days. So, I might trouble you. Please just accept it."
Seeing that Sky was so generous, the fat woman did not return the money back, "Well, then I will accept it. Mr. Tanner, if you need anything, just let me know. Have a good rest."
"Thank you."
After seeing off the fat woman Sky looked around at the environment here.
He stayed in the biggest room on the second floor. It was simple, but clean. It was far from the big house in the city, but it was worth it as he could be so close to Rose.
He stood by the window, looking in the direction of the Young family, hoping to see Rose.
Rose helped Doris take a bath and then changed the clothes. Grandfather had already killed the fish when she came out.
"Doris, we're having fish today. Do you like it?" Grandpa washed the fish and then put it into a small basin.
"Yes, Grandpa's cooking skill is so great that I feel I have gained weight." Doris touched her face with her hands. "Mom, do you think Dougie will still remember me when I go back?"
