Crossroads

Chapter 88

Stephanie looked at George and Brad suspiciously. Since they didn’t want to tell her, she would not ask further questions.

“Grandpa, I want to go back to the old apartment to pack some things.”

“Br sale.”

Although George was widely respected and wore a strict face every day, he was not as indifferent and stern as others thought. Compared with his grandson Dominick, George was more open–minded and easier to get along with.

“Got it”

She responded and followed the driver out.

Yesterday, while chatting on the phone with her aunt and bringing up old memories, Stephanie remembered that her small wooden box was missing. Too much had happened in the past few months, and she was not sure where she had put it.

The car drove smoothly and quickly. After thinking for a while, she turned to look out of the window and saw that she had arrived at the old apartment where she used to live.

“I want to stay at the apartment for half a day. You can go back first. If I need anything, I’ll call you, and then you come pick me up.” As Stephanie said it, she opened the car door and walked out.

“Okay, Mrs. Wellington, please pay attention to your own safety.”

The driver nodded towards her and did not dare to accompany her. He stepped on the accelerator and left soon.

Stephanie walked into the shabby apartment building. There was no elevator, so she could only climb the stairs step by step. She took out the keys from her bag while thinking about where her small wooden box was.

“Ms. Reed, you’re here.”

A man walked out of the opposite door and greeted her with a smile.

Stephanie didn’t recognize him. He seemed to be a new resident, so she politely replied, “Hello.” Then she took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.

After closing the door, Stephanie suddenly realized that he even knew her surname was Reed.

Somewhat curious, she lay in front of the door and looked through the peephole in the door. Seeing that the man had locked the door and gone downstairs, she didn’t think much about it. She would go back to Wellington Villa in the afternoon anyway.

After rummaging through this small apartment twice, she still couldn’t find her small wooden box

Stephanie sorted out the messy clothes and stuffed them back. If the wooden box were at Nelson Villa, it would be a bit embarrassing for her to go there and get it,

Suddenly, there was a knock on the doop Stephanie looked startled and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

before she could step forward, the door clicked open.

When she was wondering who had the key, she asked in surprise, “What are you doing here?”

Stephanie looked at Kevin in front of her with a wary and puzzled expression. Moreover, he was carrying a large bag of fresh vegetables and meat in his right hand.
