Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1057 The Colonel

When she got there, they had already gotten a table as they waited for her.

It didn’t come as a surprise that the couple Carla spotted had their heads now filled with grey hair, looking much older than she remembered when she last saw them many years ago. However, despite the changes dictated by time, Carla promptly noticed their manners were at their finest. As soon as she approached the table, the couple didn’t hesitate to offer her a warm and polite smile.

“Uncle James, Auntie Cheryl, long time no see. How are you doing?”

Carla asked after she sat down. Then, she promptly called the waiter and requested him to serve the best tea they had in the house.

“We’re great. After all, we’re farmers. We ought to remain active, so exercise comes as a routine for us. And then there’s Sean, of course. He’s very attentive. Every six months, he takes us to the city for a medical check-up. Two years ago, your uncle found out that he had a tumor in his neck. Thank goodness, he was diagnosed in time for treatment!”

Cheryl told her with a smile. Her eyes revealed the enormous gratitude she had for all Sean had done for them throughout the years.

James nodded and agreed, “Yes! I used to be too narrow-minded before. I foolishly believed that Sean would ditch us once he became someone important. But now I know that a Ji Family’s child would never behave in such a way.”

The moment the tea was served, Carla filled the cups for the two elders. She said, “I wouldn’t have expected anything different from him. Sean has always been a good boy.”

“You’ve educated him well! We used to be reckless before. Oh, Carla, please don’t take it to heart,”

Cheryl stated, taking the cup Carla offered her.

“Don’t mention it. Uncle James and Auntie Cheryl, please, don’t hesitate to contact me or Sean if you are in any trouble. We’ll always do our best to help you.”

Carla looked from James to Cheryl and vice-versa. They seemed genuine, but she suspected they didn’t want to see her just to apologize for the past mistakes.

“Well, Carla, as you know well, Sean’s parents passed away when he was too young. Even though he’s an adult now, as his elders, we’re concerned about him,”

Cheryl start

orgotten what Terence had told him once, “You can’t always depend on others, Sean. At some point, the responsibility only will be yours to get where you want to be.”

So, over the past years, he had always chosen to be the first to undertake dangerous missions. Thanks to his efforts, now he was solemnly recognized as a colonel who had earned his position, and he was proud of that.

The moment Sean walked out, he saw the result of his hard work materialized in front of his eyes.

“Goodbye, sir!”

Every guard saluted him with utmost respect.

Because he was the youngest commander in the army, the young soldiers looked up to him a lot, expecting to achieve the same one day.

Outside, Carl had already opened the car door for him.

“Sir, Commander Jiang changed the place of the meeting to the LM Club. Do you need to change your clothes?”

Carl asked, scratching his head. According to the rules, one wasn’t allowed to attend high-end venues of entertainment in an army uniform. As Commander Jiang had first requested a meeting at the military compound, Sean had changed into his uniform.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll take off the coat,”

Sean murmured. When he got inside the car, he started to unbutton his coat. He didn’t have many casual clothes with him, anyway. So even if he was to meet the Commander at his home, he would wear the uniform.

At least he had a white shirt in his car that he could change into.

Along the way, Carl found the roads pretty clear of traffic.

Quickly, they arrived at the LM Club.
