Chapter 74: Unexpected Encounter
A week later.
Iris started to adjust to her new life in Silenthill, living with her new identity as young Iris Gray. She grew closer to her grandmother, and all doubts her grandmother had about her were now gone. She also completed her first exam and could feel her body becoming much stronger. Thanks to her daily workouts at Xavier’s gym.
During the past week, Iris had spent most of her time at Xavier’s house rather than her own. She would arrive there early in the morning and return to her house only before midnight.
However, she planned to skip going to Xavier’s house today because they were officially on winter break. She wanted to take a day off from training and visit Daisy’s shop since she had received a call from Daisy, informing her that the stuff she ordered online from another country a week ago had arrived yesterday.
As Iris finished getting ready, she heard her grandma calling her from the first floor. She immediately went downstairs and was surprised to see Xavier casually talking to her grandma in the living room.
With slow steps, he approached them.
"Hi, Xavier... You came," she greeted him casually, even though she felt puzzled. She remembered telling him last night that she wouldn’t go to his house today, she wanted to stay home. So, why had he come?
Before Xavier could answer Iris, Cassandra said, "My dear, are you going with Xavier?" She asked while smiling happily at Iris. Then she called Iris to sit beside her before continuing, "Go, have fun... You guys have worked hard studying."
Iris was speechless. She glanced at Xavier, wanting to ask his opinion, but the man seemed to ignore her. With a weak voice, Iris could only say, "Yes, Grandma, we will go have fun!" She grinned.
