Chapter 77 Ivan Is Amazing

Nancy looked back at Ivan and found he was still immersed in drawing. All movements outside seemed to not affect on Ivan.

Nancy didn't want to or dared to disturb Ivan. So she could only come to meet Oliver with the Gee in her arms.

When Nancy arrived in the living room, she saw Oliver sitting on the sofa at first glance. Oliver was talking to some adults calmly despite his young age. He won their praise because of his neither humble nor pushy attitude.

"Oliver."

Nancy greeted Oliver politely and walked over with Gee in her arms.

Nancy used to think Gee would be resistant to being close to Donny, so she planned to let it go. But she didn't expect that Gee, who was afraid of Donny yesterday, was quiet and well-behaved. It nestled against Nancy's chest, its furry tail wagging and its ears cocked. It also stretched out claws and tried to 'attack' Donny.

Maybe Gee was still scared of Donny, so it only clawed the air at a distance of less than one centimeter from Donny's nose.

Nancy bared her nice square white teeth in a grin.

"Nancy."

The fifteen-year-old Oliver smiled at the sight of Nancy. Then he formally handed out an invitation.

"It's my grandpa's birthday in three days. I want to invite you and Ivan to attend my grandpa's birthday party."

Nancy took the invitation and looked at her parents in confusion. She never had such an experience before, so she didn't know what to do.

Windy stroked Nancy's head and smiled, "Since you are friends, you can accept the invitation. We will go with you at that time."

Nancy didn't hesitate anymore after she knew her parents would go with her. Nancy accepted the invitation with a tender smile and thanked Oliver.

Donny stealthily walked up to Nancy and sat beside her. Gee managed to claw at Donny's nose and quickly withdrew its paw. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gee was a coward and just bullied Donny relying on Nancy's influence. It retreated cowardly after it hit Donny.

"Where's Ivan?"

Nancy replied in a soft voice, "Ivan is painting. I didn't tell him you came here because I was afraid to disturb him."

Oliver asked Nancy, "Do you want to walk the dog with me?"

Nancy nodded at Oliver.

Then Nancy and Oliver put a leash on Donny. Nancy walked the dog with Gee in her arms.

Donny was docile and wouldn't drag its owner forward like a Siberian Husky or a Samoyed. Donny followed the pace of Nancy and Oliver steadily.

When Nancy was about to go out, James started to worry about her again. He always felt Nancy wasn't safe outside and wanted to tie Nancy to himself.

Windy rolled her eyes, "Nancy is free to make friends. You can care about her, but you can't disturb her social activities."

James resisted the desire to go out together with Nancy and said goodbye to Nancy at the gate, with tears in his eyes.

"Nancy, remember to come back with Oliver early. Call me if anything happens. I will come to find you right away and..." James said a lot with concern. Nancy listened carefully and also nodded in response.

"Well, Dad, I got it."

When James wanted to say something else, he was dragged back by Windy, who covered James' mouth with her hands.

John was speechless.

John wondered what made James change from a sly businessman, who used to make others tremble with a hypocritical smile, to a garrulous father.

"Oliver, where are we going to walk Donny?"

Oliver said casually, "We can walk Donny around."

The people living in this housing estate were either rich or influential. Some houses with a long history were close to each other. Even if these ancient houses were renovated later, the distance between them could not be changed.

"Granny Hill grows strawberries in a polytunnel and they taste good. She often stays at home alone. If people around want to eat strawberries, they can go to her house to barter for strawberries. Do you want to go?"

Nancy held Gee in her arms and looked at Oliver with her bright eyes, "Can I pick strawberries myself?"

Oliver nodded, "Yes."

Then Nancy and Oliver went to Granny Hill's house.

Just as Oliver was about to knock on the door, the brown-red wood door suddenly opened. An old man in black cloth shoes came out. He was also carrying a red bucket in his hand, in which a few koi were flopping happily. Granny Hill with gray hair closely followed the old man and kept grumbling, a shoe upraised in her left hand.

"How dare you steal my fish again? Stop right now!"

The old man was blocked by Nancy and Oliver who stood in front of the door and couldn't get out. So he was caught by Granny Hill who was chasing after him. Granny Hill used her right hand to hold the shoe so that she could tweak the old man's ear with her left hand.

"How many times have I told you? Don't catch my fish! How can you be so annoying? You have caught almost all my koi!"

Granny Hill didn't tweak the old man's ear roughly. But the old man put down the bucket and tilted his head, letting out screams of pain.

"I just caught a few koi. I'll buy you more for breeding. Don't tweak my ear. These two children are watching us."

The old man didn't want to lose face in front of Nancy and Oliver.

Granny Hill snorted and released her hold. She smiled kindly at Nancy and Oliver.

"Ollie, Come in. What do you want to eat today? I will cook it for you."

After Granny Hill finished speaking, her eyes fell on Nancy. She immediately beamed a warm smile.

"Who are you? You are so beautiful. What's your name? Welcome to my house. Tell me what you want to eat. I am a fabulous cook."

"My name is Nancy." Nancy wrung her hands shyly and said in a soft and sweet voice.

Nancy was suddenly praised by Granny Hill and was bashful. She blushed scarlet and her eyes gleamed with pleasure, which made her face as fresh and beautiful as peach blossoms. Both the old man and Granny Hill liked Nancy very much.

Granny Hill's sons and daughters had grown up, and her grandsons seldom came here. The older she was, the more she liked lovable and meek children.

Granny Hill enthusiastically brought Nancy to her house, "Nancy, you have a good name. I haven't seen you in this housing estate before. Are you Ollie's relative?"

Oliver seriously corrected Granny Hill, "Please call me Oliver instead of Ollie. Nancy is the daughter of Windy who is from the Barton family. We just became friends yesterday. Are your strawberries ripe? I take Nancy here to eat strawberries.

"I welcome Nancy no matter whose daughter she is. You've come just at the right moment. My strawberries are ripe. Let me take you to eat strawberries. Ollie, follow me."

Oliver said, "My name is Oliver, not Ollie."

"Well. Ollie, it will be your grandfather's birthday in two days, right?"

Oliver corrected Granny Hill again, "Yes. And please call me Oliver."

Granny Hill nodded and happily led Nancy and Oliver to the polytunnel in the yard.

"Ollie, pick some strawberries together with Nancy. Bring some back to your grandfather."

Oliver was speechless.

Nancy almost burst into laughter when she looked at the helpless look on Oliver's face.
