Chapter 1269: You owe me one
[SKYLINE PLAZA: Zoren’s]
In the guest house, Nathaniel lay comfortably on the bed. He was hugging a pillow, smiling in his sleep as he had a pleasant dream.
In this dream, he was in the middle of a meadow—one he had planted and nurtured, and now, it had grown beautifully.
"So peaceful," he whispered, inhaling the soft wind filled with the scent of flowers. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. He spread his arms wide, enjoying this time of tranquility.
Ever since Penny had asked him to dig, Nathaniel had continued digging and digging. He nearly uprooted the entire backyard until Zoren told him to plant flowers instead. He could’ve sworn Zoren only noticed because someone reported that Nathaniel had almost started digging a foundation for a bunker.
If not for that, Nathaniel would’ve dug his way to hell, and no one would have known.
Still, because of that, Nathaniel had slowly grown accustomed to the life of gardening. He found it peaceful and therapeutic. Although Penny sometimes gave him orders, they were too easy. Now, he was enjoying his time in this household and had been living as quietly as a dead rat.
It wasn’t far-fetched to say Nathaniel wouldn’t mind gardening for the rest of his life. Zoren was kind enough to add him to his payroll, there was free food, and Nathaniel had a room he didn’t need to pay for!
Wasn’t this the greatest?
Another person might say the downside was that Nathaniel couldn’t go out. Not that he wasn’t allowed to, but he knew he might drop dead if he was found by the people he had offended in the underground. Besides, he was an introvert. Therefore, he enjoyed the peacefulness and solitude.
"Even in my dreams, I am at peace," he told himself. "Once everything is settled, I’ll just buy a house somewhere in the province and become a farmer."
A satisfied look dominated his face.
