Chapter 259 An improper thought
Patrick sensed Aimee's anger and kept reassuring her.
Finally, Aimee calmed down.
She suddenly realized that this matter was not worth being angry with.
This was the village's own choice, and as an outsider, she had no reason to interfere with it.
However, Aimee suddenly thought of a question. What did her teacher have to do with this village?
Moreover, from the tone of Lorenzo, Aimee can tell that he knew herself well.
However, Aimee didn't want to talk to Lorenzo right now.
As long as she thought that Sophie whom she worked so hard to save was actually a person who was
doomed to die, she can't just calm herself down.
Aimee couldn't describe her mood, and even felt that she shouldn't be here.
However, she was here now.
Lorenzo didn't have any problems with Aimee because of her mood.
He just took the initiative to say after a long silence, "I think you may really want to know what is the
relationship between your teacher and our village."
Aimee's expression was a little serious, and she wanted to listen to him, but she was really scared.
She was really worried that the news she heard would end up being the same as this special poison
that made her choke.
Lorenzo didn't ask her opinion but said directly, "Your teacher is the first outsider in our village."
He started talking about Joel from the beginning.
Forty years ago, Joel suddenly appeared in the village. No one knew how he got there, and even Joel
himself didn't know where he came from.
When he was found, he was covered in wounds, dying, and had no strength at all.
He was lying on the ground like that, and even the clothes on his body were in tatters.
It was pouring rain that day, and it was already too dark during the day. The black clouds were
overwhelming, which was an ominous sign.
Someone found Joel at the gate of the village, and originally wanted to kill him directly, but was
stopped.
The person who stopped it was the daughter of village head, that was, Sophie.
That day happened to be her turn to guard the village. Although she was only sixteen years old at the
time, she had already started to take care of business, big or small, in the village with her father.
It was also because Sophie was a woman. She was trained by her father as a successor, which made
many people in the village very dissatisfied.
However, everyone didn't make it difficult for Sophie.
After all, this was the girl they grew up with, and even though they didn't agree with her being their
head of the village, they still loved her.
Therefore, everyone will still choose to listen to Sophie's orders.
Regardless of the family rules, Sophie directly brought Joel into the village. When the elders wanted to
kill Joel, she tried her best to save Joel.
Even her father couldn't do anything to her as the head of the village.
Now that Joel had been brought in, they hadn't reached the point where they must kill Joel. Instead,
they thought that since he had been there, he should stay for the rest of his life.
Sophie also made up her mind.
Obviously, she fell in love with Joel at first sight.
Aimee heard this and had complicated feelings.
Although Joel was her respected teacher and also had the grace of rebuilding her, if she hadn't met
him, she may not be in this world long ago.
However, Aimee was still a little surprised to hear that her teacher still had such a past.
After all, in her impression, Joel was just a stuffy little old man.
He was very strict with her and taught her many things, but one of the most important requirements for Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
her was to hide her talents and act as low-key as possible.
Once he found out that Aimee may expose her ability, Joel will be very angry.
Sometimes, Aimee actually felt that his anger was inexplicable. At least, she didn't think that the ability
she showed would really put her in any danger.
However, Aimee was still terrified of Joel being angry.
Therefore, even though she did a lot of things later, she still hid her identity well so that no one would
find out that those people were all her.
It was precisely because of this that Joel didn't continue to be so angry, but chose to turn a blind eye to
her.
Aimee was very clear that in order to protect her, Joel had actually done a lot of things, secretly helping
her deal with a lot of troubles.
However, no matter how Aimee thought about it, she never thought that one day, she would hear such
things about Joel.
Lorenzo saw Aimee's expression, and was actually a little embarrassed.
He never thought that after decades, he would actually talk to a junior about his daughter and a man.
He said, "In Veggia, marriage is internal. There has never been a precedent that people in Veggia
marry outsiders. I naturally disagree with them, but, my daughter, she seems to be fascinated and only
wanted to marry Joel."
Aimee could hear that when Lorenzo mentioned Joel, he gritted his teeth.
She was even a little dumbfounded, so she imagined, even if Joel was forty years younger, Aimee
would not want her daughter, if she had, to marry him.
Not to mention, the daughter was from a place like Veggia.
Aimee can almost imagine Joel's situation in this village at that time.
No one will like him except Sophie.
The fact was indeed as Aimee thought. At that time, except for Sophie, almost everyone regarded Joel
as a thorn in their side and watched him all the time.
In the beginning, they thought Joel was sent here by people from outside to harm Veggia.
However, after more than half a year, no one came over, not even a single mosquito, so everyone
relaxed a little bit.
As a result, everyone's goal shifted, and they began to prevent Joel from having improper thoughts
about their prettiest girl in the village, namely Sophie.
However, soon everyone recognized a fact.
Joel had no improper thoughts. But what they didn't know was that Sophie had.
She cooked delicious food for Joel in different ways every day, and went to his house when she had
time. No matter how many times Joel drove her away, she won't leave.
She didn't even care about Joel scolding her for being thick-skinned, and she insisted on rushing
towards Joel, trying to get him.
When recalling this, a touch of embarrassment appeared on Lorenzo's face.
It'd never been like for conservative people in Veggia.
Thinking of the things Sophie did back then, Lorenzo couldn't help but blush, and couldn't go on talking.
After more than forty years, he couldn't forget the scene he saw at that time.
Her daughter stole a jug of wine from him, tried to get Joel drunk, and then slept him without efforts.
However, what Sophie never expected was that a man like Joel was allergic to alcohol, and it was
several levels worse than ordinary ones.
This made Sophie almost pissed off. She almost could sleep Joel directly, but Joel's physical reaction
was unexpected by Sophie.
There was no way. Sophie can only find her father and let him rescue Joel.
