Chapter 290 A New Year
Grandma Starry is buried in Araria City Cemetery, and usually visits Sebastian Willis when she goes to see him.
Snowy days, the cemetery inside not much people, even outside the perennial sale of flowers aunt are closed.
Luckily, she brought a bouquet of lilies inside the florist before she came, otherwise both hands are empty, more or less rude.
Old Mr. Pearson is also buried here, Starry has met Filip and old Mrs. Pearson before they came to visit the grave.
When she was at the Pearson Family, she came to visit the graves every year.
But Old Mr. Pearson’s grave is inside, nearly a kilometer away.
Starry put Lily down, “Grandma, I’ve brought my boyfriend to see you.”
The two were previously married for five years, and every time they came to pay their respects, Starry never mentioned that her grandmother’s grave was also here.
This is Filip’s first visit to Starry’s grandmother, the photo of the old man kind and harmonious, look carefully can also see that Starry’s eyebrows and her have some resemblance.
It was snowing and the two didn’t stay in the cemetery for long.
On the way back, Starry had a rare chance to talk a lot about her grandmother.
Filip listened while driving, occasionally responding to a sentence or two, and inside the carriage was the gentle voice of a woman.
But as he spoke, Starry’s voice trailed off.
Last night slept late, this morning and get up early, the carriage inside the heating is very suitable for sleeping, Starry gradually can not hold on to sleep over.
Filip inclined his head and saw Starry, who had fallen asleep, and he raised his hand to raise the heating slightly.
Starry slept past lunchtime and woke up to find himself in bed.
She rubbed her temples, reached for the coat she had put aside, and was about to put it on and go downstairs to Filip when the door to her room was pushed open: “Awake?”
She was embarrassed for a rare moment, “How long have I been sleeping.”
The opening voice was a little raspy, and Starry felt thirsty.
Filip handed over the cup in his hand, “It’s already past one, get up and have a lunch first.”
“I’ve been sleeping for so long?”
They came back from the cemetery just before eleven o’clock, and she actually slept for more than two hours.
“It was a hard day yesterday.”
Filip put her clothes beside her, “I’ll go downstairs and set up the meal.”
“Good.”
It was cold but nice this weekend.
But out of old Mrs. Pearson this thing, Filip and Starry also have nothing to entertain the mind.
Filip is a man of few words, and Starry plays Go with the old lady while he peels apples.
There were four people in the living room, and he peeled four apples. Even Martha joked, “I’m lucky today to have an apple peeled by Filip himself.”
old Mrs. Pearson gave him a look, “He’s just idle.”
The old lady is also a mouthful, her mouth says she dislikes it, but the smile on her face never stops.
Although the fall of the leg is not so free, broken leg still hurts, but this weekend afternoon, Filip and Starry two people will come over to accompany her, she said no, the next day is looking forward to two young over to accompany her.
Starry has a loose schedule and goes to the old house three or four days a week to spend time with old Mrs. Pearson.
This time the old lady fell, Filip should also be shocked, is also trying to put off social engagements, the evening to go over to pick up Starry by the time to accompany the old lady.
Martha looked at old Mrs. Pearson this time the flesh visible fat, know that she is happy, himself also happy for her.
Time passes day by day, and this year’s Spring Festival is right at the end of the year.
The Chinese New Year came before the old lady’s leg was healed.
Last year’s Spring Festival was Starry leg injury, this year it was the turn of the old lady.
Thinking about this matter, the old lady also privately teased with Martha, she and Starry are quite compatible.
Last year Starry and Filip have nothing to do with each other, naturally it is not good to stay in the Pearson Family for the Chinese New Year.
This year at least hang a girlfriend status, Starry also have little family, plus Edward this year, New Year’s Eve are in the crew inside, New Year’s holiday left her alone, the old lady heard not happy, must she go to the old house to live a few days.
Usually it is good to refuse, this special holiday, Starry and then refuse to go on, but to break the old lady’s heart.
What’s more, there’s a Filip looking on, as if she’s a bad person if she doesn’t spend New Year’s Eve with them.
Starry is really eat soft but not hard, she can not fight the two grandchildren, so she had to promise to go over on New Year’s Eve and stay until the third day of the New Year.
Florence and Lilly went back to the Pearson Family, and there were not many people left in the old house for New Year’s Eve, just the old lady and Filip and Martha.
Martha’s children have all started a family and want to reunite as a family, so naturally it is impossible for them all to be in the old house.
The old lady’s leg was still not well, so Martha was very uneasy. When she learned that Starry was coming to stay for a few days, she was willing to pack her things and go back with her son for a few days of reunion.
Starry went to the old mansion on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, the servants and housekeepers were already on holiday, but the old mansion had hung a lot of red lanterns and put up fortune characters on the windows, a New Year look.
Although I had spent five years of Chinese New Year here before, I came back this year, but it was a different feeling.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was made by Starry, who prepared the ingredients before the maids left.
For three people, she cooked six dishes for good luck.
Starry and Filip had to open a deck of poker, and the three of them played landlord.
old Mrs. Pearson had not been so happy for a long time, and by 10:00 p. m., was not really sleepy at all.
The three of them played until the clock struck twelve and the new year arrived. old Mrs. Pearson took out the red envelope she had prepared and handed it to Starry: “In the new year, all your wishes are fulfilled and everything is satisfactory.”
“Thank you and I wish you good health and all the best for the new year.”
“Good good!”
The old lady smiled and handed the red envelope to Filip: “Peace and prosperity in the new year.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
“I’m going back to bed, you guys can play by yourselves.”
The old lady pushed the wheelchair herself and went back to her room. Filip wanted to help, and she pushed him away directly.
old Mrs. Pearson went back to her room, and Starry and Filip were left alone in the large villa.
Starry was put in the guest room, and Filip instead blatantly abducted people to his room: “My bed is big.”
Starry thought it was funny, “I don’t need a bed that big.”
He smiled and raised his hand and picked her up straight away.
Starry hooked his neck and looked at him, but smiled.
The windows are brilliant with fireworks and the soft king-size bed is very lively.
Starry’s eyes were already a bit open when she was carried back onto the field, “Remember to call me up tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Filip pulled over the quilt, covered the two, and held people tightly in his arms before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
As for the unread messages inside that phone, who cares.
