CHAPTER IX

The next morning, Gray accompanied Dilly to the city center for shopping and shopping. Lunch at a high-end western restaurant. Both were in a very good mood.

In fact, there were several times when Dilly wanted to talk about the barking in the middle of the night, but she endured it—she really didn't want to spoil the lighthearted, pleasant atmosphere of the day.

Ever since moving to this house, Dilly has been plagued by all sorts of incredible phenomena every day, and her mood is extremely depressed - today, she finally feels that there is still some sunshine in her life.

Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, Gray and Dee Li returned to their lodgings with large bags of belongings.

When he reached the door of the villa, Gray took out the key to open the door, and Deli suddenly touched him with his crutches.

"Hey, Gray. Look over there. She said with a sideways face.

Gray followed Dilly's gaze.

In a small house next to their villa, a middle-aged woman came out, carrying a watering can, to the small garden at the door to water the plants.

"Oh, she's what I told you about the other day, our neighbor, Mrs. Ann." "It's a widow." ”

"Let's go over and say hello, Gray. You should introduce Mrs. Ann to me. Dee Li said.

Gray nodded: "Actually, I should have taken you to visit Mrs. Ann a long time ago, she seems to be one of the few long-term residents in our community. And she also helped me take care of my dog for over a year, we should go and thank her. ”

With that, Gray led Dilly to Mrs. Ann's little garden beside her.

"Hello, Mrs. Ann!" Gray smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

Mrs. Ann, who was watering the flowers, raised her head, she was a somewhat plain, plain woman. The face is not too featured, the figure is not tall, and he wears a casual striped loungewear.

"Hi, Gray." Mrs. Ann greeted them with a smile and looked at Dilly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is what you mentioned before—your beautiful fiancée?" ”

"Hello, Mrs. Ann." Dee Li smiled in return, "My name is Di Li. ”

Mrs. Ann looked Di Li up and down: "Gray's vision is really right, Miss Di is really naturally beautiful. ”

"You've won a prize." Dee Li said with some embarrassment.

"Gray," said Mrs. Ann, turning suddenly, with a little disgust, "you are still so arrogant! It's been a few days since you've all moved in, and now you're just remembering to bring your fiancée to say hello to me? ”

"You see, it's all my fault." Gray smiled and said, "I was busy with some things the other day, and I didn't have time to spare. No, it's the weekend to be free. ”

Mrs. Ann put down the watering can in her hand, walked up to Dilly, took her hand and said, "Now that we know each other, we are neighbors again, and we have time to come and sit at my house." ”

"Well, I will." Di Li smiled and nodded, "You too, Mrs. An, come to our house to play if you have nothing to do." ”

The two women held hands and smiled knowingly.

"That's right, Mrs. Ann." Gray said, "I didn't have time to thank you last time!" You've helped me keep my dog for so long......"

"Don't say that, Gray! Kaz is a good dog, I don't know how happy you are to let him accompany me! Now that it's back in your house, I'm still uncomfortable. ”

"If you want it, you can always come to our house and see it." Gray said.

"Of course, I'll come and see it."

Then, they chatted a few more homely things.

"We've got to go back." "Mrs. Ann, you are welcome to come to our house at any time. ”

Just as they were about to turn to leave, Deli seemed to suddenly remember something: "Mrs. Ann, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Absolutely. What, dear? Mrs. Ann said gently.

"When Kaz was at your house, did he have a habit of calling for a while in the middle of the night?" Deeli asked.

At this time, Gray, who was standing next to him, frowned a little unnaturally.

"I screamed in the middle of the night...... Kaz, you say? Mrs. Ann shook her head and said, "No, Kaz is a quiet dog, and he doesn't make noise during the day, let alone at night, and he never barks." ”

"In the year you've kept it, it hasn't barked in the middle of the night once?"

"Not once." Mrs. Ann affirmed.

Dee Li paused for a few seconds and said, "Yes, thank you, Mrs. Ann. We'll see you another day. ”

"See you another day, dear."

Gray and Dilly nodded again at Mrs. Ann and returned to their villa.
