In the early years, my aunt's house was relocated and they received several apartnts as compensation. She lives in one, her son in another.
The rest, along with a couple of storefronts, are all rented out.
Jodie Edison wasn't empty-handed when she arrived, bringing the fruits she bought on her way, "Auntie."
"Jodie is here, co in."
"Who's here?" Gary ca out from inside.
He walked outside and laughed, "Oh, it's Jodie!"
Jodie grinned, "Uncle, I didn't realize you were ho today."
Uncle Gary was sixty-six years old that year.
He had been retired for a year.
His biggest hobby was fishing, so it was rare to see him at ho.
Gary nodded, "It's been too hot lately, your aunt won't let go out."
Hearing this, Hazel Edison was displeased, "Just the other day an old man died from heat stroke while fishing. Jodie, what's your take on this? Isn't my stopping him from fishing a good thing?"
At her words, Jodie laughed and looked at Gary, "Uncle, my aunt really is thinking about your health! You're at the age to enjoy life!"
Gary quickly poured Jodie a glass of water, "Jodie, are you staying for dinner tonight? It's been a while since you visited."
"I'll take you up on that. I have sothing I need to discuss with you actually."
"What is it?" Gary was sowhat curious.
Jodie then said, "I'd like to introduce a girlfriend to my cousin."
"That's great!" Gary was extrely delighted, "Where is the girl from? What's her situation?"
Ever since his son got divorced, Gary had been worried day and night.
He wished nothing more than for his son to remarry imdiately.
Unfortunately, it's hard to find the right person.
Jodie told the truth, "She's a parent of one of my students, she's thirty-one this year, and she..."
Jodie told them everything about Dolores Frieman, not holding anything back.
Gary didn't react like Mrs. Edison did when he heard Dolores Frieman only had an elentary school education, stomping angrily. Instead, he said appreciatively, "It seems this girl is exceptional. Even though her education is lacking, she's capable! I just don't know if she and my boy will hit it off!"
Since his divorce, many people had introduced Kevin Ainley to potential partners.
Both divorced and never-married won.
Unfortunately.
There was no spark.
Jodie laughed and said, "Uncle, don't worry. The thing about fate is mysterious. We'll know if there's any chemistry after they et."
Hazel left the kitchen to ask, "Jodie, based on what you're saying, has the girl agreed to et?"
"Yes." Jodie nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this trip."
Hazel imdiately took out her phone, "I'll call Kevin to co over."
No sooner had she said this than they heard the front door open, followed by footsteps.
Jodie looked up, a bit surprised, "Cousin!"
"Kevin's back?" Hazel also ca out of the kitchen.
Kevin was holding his briefcase, smiling at Jodie, "Jodie's here."
"Uh-huh."
"Jodie and I were just talking about you! And you showed up!" Hazel laughed.
"What about ?" Kevin asked curiously.
Hazel glanced at Jodie, "We were talking bad about you!"
Kevin knew his mother was joking. He hung up his briefcase and said, "The law firm is closed for three days starting tomorrow, so I thought I'd co ho and see you and Dad."
Hazel looked at Jodie, "You see Jodie, your cousin hasn't co ho in over two months! Isn't this fate?"
Jodie nodded, "It indeed is."
Kevin was puzzled, "What fate?"
"Your cousin is introducing a girlfriend to you!" Hazel laughed.
"A girlfriend?" Kevin furrowed his brows a bit.
Ever since his divorce, Kevin had heard people offering to introduce him to potential girlfriends almost every day.
But the more he t, the less inclined he felt to remarry.
Hazel nodded, "Don't you trust your family, Kevin? Don't worry, your cousin won't deceive you."
Though Kevin was initially reluctant, he swallowed his refusal. After all, Jodie was his cousin and she ant well by introducing him to soone. To refuse outright would be ungrateful.
"Thank you then, Jodie."
Jodie laughed, "We're family, cousin. You're being too formal!"
Striking while the iron was hot, Hazel said, "Kevin, why don't you free up so ti to et the girl tomorrow?"
"Okay." Kevin nodded, then rolled up his sleeves, "Mom, what's for dinner? I'll help you."
