Chapter 72: Grandma Suspicious
"Hi, Iris..."
Hearing Xavier’s gentle voice on the other end melted her heart and forgot what she was about to ask him.
"X-Xavier," Iris greeted him, feeling shy as if Xavier were standing right before her. "Did something happen? Why are you calling me—" She pressed her lips while slapping her forehead. Regret after uttering those words.
A long silence hung in the air, making her blame herself even more for asking him that way.
After a few more seconds, she finally heard Xavier’s gentle voice once more, "...Iris, I just remembered that you were looking for a gym in town, right?"
"Hmm, I want to train myself, but the gym in town seems quite far from my house. That’s why I haven’t decided yet whether I’ll go there or just stay at home." Iris explained.
She had checked the distance, and it would take her about 30 minutes to drive there. It would be tiring to drive for an hour to go to the gym every day. She preferred to train in the woods behind her house, but she couldn’t do that now because her Grandma would be stressed knowing she went there after her accident a week ago.
Actually, behind her house, there was a warehouse where several items left by her father were stored. She had plans to get her grandmother’s permission to turn the place into a private gym, but if she proposed the idea now, her grandmother would be even more shocked by her change, right!?
She refrained from doing it and would only consider it after a few more months.
