Renee took the coconut from Jeffrey and sipped the coconut water, and the refreshing, sweet taste was


    like rain in the desert. She looked up and saw the sunrise lighting up the vast sea, and felt a happiness


    she hadn''t in a long time. It was little things like this that brought color to people''s lives, and at that


    moment, Renee finally felt her stress melt away.


    Jeffrey brought Renee to his house, which was a typical two-storey house. It was built near the sea and


    had been renovated two years ago. There were various kinds of flowers growing in the yard. "Renee,


    we managed to renovate the housest year because of your support. Dad and Mom made a room for


    you to thank you... I''ll take you there," Jeffrey enthusiastically exined.


    Feeling touched, Renee went upstairs with him. There was arge room facing the sea on the second


    floor with many shells and beads hanging on the door, and it looked like an urban style from the 1980s


    or 1990s. Ava and her family had painstakingly decorated that room for Renee. "Did you all do up this


    room for me?” Renee pushed the beaded curtain aside and saw arge French window. The sea


    breeze gently blew the thin curtain, revealing a lovely view of the ocean.


    "Yeah, do you like it?" Feeling shy, Jeffrey obediently stood at the door and watched Renee, not daring


    to be in the same room as her. She was the woman he had admired since he was a child.


    "Yes, I do." Renee nodded and touched the shell windchime hanging in front of the window. "These


    shells are so pretty, I''m sure it was tough to get them."


    "Not at all." Jeffrey scratched his head and stammered, "They''re easy to find if you dive deep enough...


    If you like it, I''ll make another for you."


    Amused by his shyness, Renee turned to him and said, "When did you


    be such a good boy, Jeffrey? I remember that you were pretty naughty when you were young. I


    remember the time when Mrs. Joyner stopped you from going into the sea at noon, but you insisted.


    You didn''t even listen to me, so finally, I had to beat you up for her. You even scolded me for being a


    witch, and you didn''t want to talk to me anymore..."


    "Stop teasing me, Renee, that happened so long ago." Jeffrey''s tanned face turned red, and he wished


    he could disappear. "I''m all grown up now, so I won''t do things like that anymore."


    "You''re all grown-up, are you? Shouldn''t you be looking for a girlfriend then? " Renee teased, "Don''t tell


    me you''ve already got a girlfriend. When can I meet her? I remember that you were very close to your


    neighbor Daisy. You both are childhood sweethearts, right?"


    "No, we''re not!" Jeffrey waved his hands anxiously as if he had been used of a crime. He


    immediately rified, "I dont have a girlfriend, and Daisy is like a younger sister." He nced at Renee


    and quickly looked down, then muttered, "I... I like someone else."


    "What did you say?" Renee frowned. "I didn''t hear you."


    "No, it''s nothing." Jeffrey shook his head, his eyes bright. "I''m sure you''re hungry. Let me cook you


    something." Then, he turned and ran downstairs. It was already rare for him to meet Renee, so there


    was no point in wishful thinking. Besides, he was too shy to get close to her.


    Renee was left alone in the room, and the world became as quiet as before.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
