Chapter 634 Are You Carrying The Basket
“This place is pretty! Are those fields? They’re divided into smaller sections!”
Oliver was staring outside with wide eyes.
The others were equally stunned by the sight as well.
Meanwhile, Tim was dumbfounded as he thought, Isn’t that our village?
“Those are rice fields… I think we’re at Rutaceae Village!”
Benjamin chimed in, “Yes, it’s Rutaceae Village.”
“We’re here so soon?” Tim and Mary gasped in surprise.
It felt as if they had just boarded the helicopter not long ago.
“Helicopters are quick, but you don’t feel the speed. Even if you look down, it feels slow,” Benjamin explained.
Arissa chuckled. “We’re about to land the helicopter, so sit back onto your seats, sweethearts.”
The six children quickly ran back to their seats.
Kingsley pushed Mary back to her spot and secured the wheelchair as well.
“Sit tight too,” Benjamin said to Arissa as he pulled her closer.
Arissa froze when she noticed the others looking at her.
“Okay,” she mumbled, promptly sitting down.
Benjamin and the others then took their seats as well.
Ethen then reminded the others to fasten their seatbelts and get ready for the landing.
“We’re ready!” Arissa told him after checking over Mary and the children.
Ethen then checked them over again before informing the pilot to descend.
The helicopter was going to land by the road in front of Arissa’s small house.
When Gavin and the others took in the familiar environment, they cheered in delight.
“Mommy, your house!”
“Yes, it is!” Arissa smiled.
Similarly, Tim turned thrilled when he saw Rutaceae Village. “I’ve seen this place last time!”
The last time he was talking about was probably when Arissa had brought Zachary and the others over.
Nevertheless, Arissa curiously asked, “When have you seen this place before? Don’t you live in the village? You should have seen this a long time ago.”
Tim peeked at her and replied, “I saw them playing here when I was at the hill the last time.”
Arissa gasped.
She recalled someone watching her the other time, but the person had been too far for her to catch a clear look at. As it turned out, it was Tim.
“Were you carrying a basket back then?”
Realizing that he had let it slip, Tim immediately bit down on his lower lip and fell silent.
“It must be him. He was working like the other kids in the village,” Mary said instead.
Tim panicked. He did not want Arissa to find out about that.
“Great-grandaunt, I’ll take you home later.”
“Sure.” Mary wondered about the messy state her house would surely be in.
Arissa turned to look at them for a while. A beat later, her phone made a sound, but she was too preoccupied with the helicopter descending to look at it.
“There will be a little bump when the helicopter reaches the ground. Don’t be scared,” Benjamin said to Tim and Mary.
Both nodded, albeit a little embarrassed. Neither had been out and about in the world—it was their first time in a helicopter. Therefore, they felt a little self-conscious about their lack of knowledge in many things.
Nevertheless, Arissa patted Tim’s head and held Mary’s hand.
After a while of adjusting, the helicopter slowly landed.
The passengers only felt a slight shake before the helicopter came to a complete stop.
It felt as if they were in a car instead.
Tim and Mary thought it would have been something dramatic, so they heaved a sigh of relief in response.
“We are here!” Arissa announced.
She then unfastened her seatbelt and did the same for Mary.
Ethen and the bodyguards went to open the door.
At the same time, Benjamin, Kingsley, and Shaun unfastened the children’s seatbelts as well.
Once they were done, Benjamin said, “Head down first.”
“Okay!” Kingsley said as he gestured to Benjamin before helping the children down from the helicopter.
Benjamin and Arissa then wheeled the elderly woman to the exit. One of the bodyguards then carried Mary down while another brought the wheelchair down.
Arissa and Benjamin were last to leave the helicopter.
“This place is simply breathtaking!”
It was Kingsley and Shaun’s first time there, and they were astonished by the scenic place.
“Mrs. Graham, how did you think of buying a house here?” Kingsley asked as he studied the wooden architecture that blended perfectly into the scenery.
“By chance.”
Arissa smiled for she never thought that she would be fated to be there.
Tim had grown up here.
