Chapter 56 Once inside .
Kylie was taken aback by what she Xander had a wide inge of interests , collectio is of things one wouldnt even imagine .
Take your time , girl , Xander said , worried that Kyle might get tired .
Noreen , also intrigued by these items , remarked .
I never expected you to gather so much .
If Felicia saw this , shed probably .
call you a spendthrift .
I wish she could come and see it .
Many of these things are oors she mentioned in the past , but Im not sure if theyre real or not , Xander said , with a trace of expectation in his eyes .
I dont know when shell come back , but having Kylie look is just as good .
If Kylie says its fake , then its fake , Noreen added .
Xander nodded eagerly .
Kylie learned from her , after all .
Someone she passed all her knowledge to cant be wrong By this time .
Kylie was fully focused on examining each item carefully .
She had her phone in hand and snapped photos whenever she found something suspicious Meanwhile , the conversation between Xander and Noreen faded into the background as she concentrated on the task at hand .
After examining everything on the first floor , she moved up to the second , where things were a bit simpler mainly ancient paintings adorned the walls .
The building had three floors in total .
By the time she finished inspecting everything on the third floor , it was already dark outside Xander and Noreen were resting on the first floor .
When Kylie came down Noreen waved her over .
Come and rest , dear .
Xander has collected way too much .
You must be exhausted Im fine .
Its been a long time since Ive seen such fascinating items , Kylie replied with a bright smile .
Her eyes sparkled , showing just how much she genuinely enjoyed these ancient objects and their stories .
Xander chuckled .
So , tell me , how many of my treasures are fakes ? Go ahead , make him feel the sting .
Noreen teased Kylie pulled out her phone and began showing the photos .
This piece of colorful porcelain is fake ; its a modern imitation And this painting is not from a Renaissance artist …… .
As Kylie went through the items one by one , Xanders expression grew more serious , and Noreens face darkened as well .
Noticing their expressions , Kylie hesitated about whether to continue .
Sensing her pause , Noreen softened her expression and smiled .
Go on , Kylie .
Were not serious because of the number of fake items .
Its just that two of the pieces you pointed out were gifts from an old friend .
An old friend ? In that case , your friend might have been deceived .
This jade piece once held human bones .
Its fortunate that Xander kept it here .
If it were in the living room or bedroom , there would be a high chance of developing bone cancer , Kylie said , her expression turning grave .
What ? Noreen and Xander exclaimed simultaneously .
Knowing how close Noreen and Xander were to Felicia , Kylie explained earnestly , The jade must be removed by noon 1/3 10:23 Sat , Oct 19 Chapter 36 tomorrow It would be best ip send it to a chapel to prevent it from harming others Got it .
Il take care of it exactly as you said , Xander said with a serious expression .
Noreen turned to him and said in an earnest tone .
You really should be more cautious in the fitture wont be harmed again without even realizing seems that our old age and endurance make us an eyesore to others .
henever someone gives you something , have Kylie check it first , so you Ive learned my lesson .
Ill need to rely on Kyle tom now on , Xander agreed , his expression first stern , then soft as he looked at Kylie With pleasure , Xander , Kylie said while smiling , Noreen gave Xander a playful glare .
Kylie has spent all this time helping you Shouldnt you give her a nice gift ? Laughing heartily .
Xander went to a cabinet and opened a drawer , retrieving a box .
I was just about to .
My memorys not as sharp as it used to be .
I had it ready before you even came Open it and take a look , he urged .
Feeling it would be impolite to refuse such a sincere gesture from an elder , Kylie opened the box .
Inside was an emerald bracelet , its rich green hue flawless and of the highest quality .
This is … too valuable She hesitated , feeling uneasy about accepting such a costly gift .
She hadnt done much , just helped verify some items , yet the bracelet was worth a fortune .
Its a small token of Xanders appreciation .
Take it Noreen said , encouraging Kylie to accept the gift She thought , Its just an emerald bracelet .
I have many such bracelets at home .
When we get back , I will ask Kyle to pick .
some and wear a different one every day Xander chimed in with a chuckle .
Its just a little trinket .
Take it Seeing their insistence , Kylie finally accepted and said , after nodding , Thank you , Xander .
Come on , lets eat .
The dishes today were made with vegetables I grew myself , Xander said as he led the way outside .
Kylie linked arms with Noreen , noticing she seemed a bit tired after the long day .
Are those vegetables you grew even safe to eat ? I just got out of the hospital , and Id rather not end up back there , Noreen joked .
She thought .
Who would have thought that Xander , once a mercenary , would become so serene and spend his later years growing vegetables and tending to flowers ? Back in the day , we wouldnt have even dared to imagine this ! This year , all the vegetables Ive been eating are ones I grew myself completely natural , free from chemical fertilizers , and truly organic , Xander said , looking even more gentle and kind hearted .
Kylie smiled at their banter as she took in the scenery of the estate .
The garden was very well maintained .
It was spotless , and the air was fresh .
As they neared the dining area , Noreen received a phone call .
Youve arrived ? Its so late .
Wait outside for Kylie , shell meet you , and you two can head straight to the spa resort .
After hanging up , she turned to Kylie .
Kylie , Trevor has arrived .
Hes waiting for you outside .

He thought , Its great to be young .
When one passion ing , love feels thrilling and intense , and even a fleeting crush bursts with As Kylie walked away , Xander said with emonon , Ilont know if its just because Im getting older , but sometimes I really envy these young people Noreen had a nostalgic look in her eyes .
Yeah , back then , we had no fear .
Even when we were battered and bruised , we could still laugh it off .
But before we knew it , weve become old Does Trevor like Kylie ? Xander asked Noreen snorted .
I dont know who he takes after .
If I hadnt pushed Kylie into his life , hed probably never get married ,
