Limited Time Marriage: Nice to Meet You Mr. Foster
Chapter 194 - 193: The Celestial Dog Devours the Moon, I Devour You
Gradually, the moon was completely covered by a shadow, leaving no trace of light.
Although South Grant was looking up, her mind was entirely preoccupied with the words that Old Butler Keller had just spoken.
Who exactly was her mother’s fiancé?
Who was that child belonging to?
What really happened 20 years ago? These riddles swirled in South Grant’s mind, she couldn’t care less about the lunar eclipse.
Naturally, she didn’t pay attention to what Nathan Foster was saying over the phone either.
After a while, South Grant came to her senses, and then Nathan Foster’s slightly cool voice came from the other end of the line.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just watching the moon." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Watching the moon would make you not hear what I was saying?"
"Huh...what did you say?" South Grant truly hadn’t heard him.
There was a long silence from Nathan Foster on the other end before he finally said, "Nothing."
South Grant sensed Nathan Foster wasn’t in a good mood and thought to herself she’d just managed to smooth out his fur over the past few days, best not to provoke him into bristling again.
Then South Grant started speaking to amuse him, "Do you know what people call a lunar eclipse?"
"Celestial Dog Devours Moon." Nathan Foster replied in a tone suggesting the question was silly, as it was basic common knowledge he certainly knew.
"When it gets to August 15th, I’ll give you a mooncake to eat, and take a photo to save it. That way there’ll be a Celestial Dog Devouring the Moon in the sky, and a Foster Devouring the Moon on earth, quite the spectacle."
After saying that, South Grant burst into laughter, finding her biggest joy of the day in teasing Nathan Foster a couple of times daily.
But Nathan Foster didn’t immediately retort after hearing South Grant’s words.
South Grant was curious and wanted to hear what Foster would come back with, but he didn’t say a word.
"What’s wrong, are you mad?" South Grant tested Nathan Foster.
"No." Nathan Foster paused, then continued, "I’m just thinking about how to eat it."
South Grant was stunned, she called him a dog, and he was seriously considering how to eat?
There was something off about this vibe, wasn’t there?
As if knowing what South Grant was thinking right then, Nathan Foster said:
"Didn’t you say Celestial Dog Devours Moon, earthly Foster devours Grant? I’m thinking about how to eat it. You set the date for August 15 and plan to take a picture, naturally, I want to choose a pose that satisfies you to eat it."
South Grant: "..."
Foster Devours Grant...
Celestial Dog Devours Moon, I devour you...
He really dared to say it!
He truly could drive a car anytime, anywhere, making it roar with energy.
While South Grant was speechless, the moon in the sky at this moment slowly emerged from behind the shadowing cloud.
Looking at the moon, South Grant suddenly thought that many things in life, many times, were like the moon right now, veiled by thick fog, but as long as you wait patiently, there’ll always be a day when the clouds clear and you see the moon.
"Uncle, let’s talk seriously, I want to ask you something."
"What you said to me before wasn’t serious?" Nathan Foster countered.
"..." Why is your focus always so different? "I’m very serious, and I’m very earnest, can I ask you now?"
"Yes, you have one last minute because the helicopter I’m on is about to take off." Nathan Foster said.
"Where are you going?" South Grant was a bit surprised.
"Secret."
Alright, military secret.
"Do you know who my mother’s fiancé was back then? And that she once had a child, do you know about these things?"
