Chapter 115: He took in a deep breath
"So, gramps, when are you gonna invite me for dinner?" Alice asked and Adolf chuckled.
"I believe I saw this coming." He said, smiling at the little foodie in front of him. "These things never get past you, huh?" He snapped his fingers. Marcus stepped forward and gave her another card with his house address on it. "How’s Sunday evening?" He asked. "My grandson will be present, so I’ll use the opportunity to introduce you two."
Alice snatched the card from Marcus, looked at it, and said,
"Sounds great." She didn’t care who would be present. As long as there was enough food, she didn’t mind. But she had her favorite in mind. "I fancy chicken a lot."
"What was that?" Adolf asked and she raised her head, smiling sheepishly.
"I fancy chicken a lot. So, if the main menu could have lots and lots of chicken then I’d be glad." She said, and Adolf nodded.
"I understand,"
"And when will you drop the formalities, gramps?" She asked. "I mean, I’m old enough to be your granddaughter, so let’s stop with the ’Miss’."
"It’s not a big deal. I just prefer formalities with my acquaintances." Adolf said and then ruffled her hair. "But if this young lady wants me to drop it, I do not mind. Now, be on your way, Alice. I will see you on Sunday."
She smiled but she was not done yet. She couldn’t leave yet. She remembered she had to drop off the healing potions.
She’d like to believe that part of this break was her fault and the other part was the fucking crooked beings who just couldn’t take a seat, get popcorn and watch a nonviolent show. Sheesh, why was violence on their agenda?
