Chapter 157

Yvonne should have learned the lesson.

After spitting out the astringent fruit in her mouth, Yvonne came back with a bitter face.

She walked up to lan, stuck out her tongue playfully, and then snuggled her head against his leg.

“It’s not delicious,” she said softly, her voice laced with disappointment.

lan released the fruit from his grasp, bent down, and gently rubbed the little girl’s head.

He said with a smile, “Since it’s not ripe yet, it’s not delicious, Give it some time.”

“I put magical power in it, but why doesn’t it taste good? Yvonne wondered.

When she lived with her father, she could easily get fruit to eat as long as she put a bit energy in the tree, but this time, though she put a lot in it, it was still disappointing.

Seeing her disappointment, Ian tried a different approach to persuade her.

“It’s trying to improve its flavor. Just give it some time, lan said.

“Is that so?” Yvonne looked up at him.

Yvonne said. “Uncle, I just started kindergarten. You can’t fool me!”

“I’m serious, Ian chuckled. “The longer it takes to grow, the better it tastes.”

“Okay!” Yvonne said.

Gazing back at the branches laden with small oranges, Yvonne leaned against Ian, letting him carry her away.

The small, round oranges behind them were still green, but they looked healthy and beautiful.

The enticing aroma of the orange drew in many passing birds.
