NovelXXXChapter 1307 The guys were totally blindsided by the headlights. Elijah, buzzed out of his mind, was all set to start s. But as soon as he got close and saw it was a Porsche, he freaked out. He rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't tripping, then bolted back.
The other two were still mouthing off, but Elijah yanked them and took off.
The headlights kept beaming at them, and nobody got out of the car, making it clear this wasn't just srandom driver.
Watching the three stumble away, Freya scrambled up from the ground and scooped Peanut into her arms. "You good, Peanut?" she asked, all worried.
Peanut just stared at her with those big, round eyes, not getting a word she said.
Freya plopped back down, checking out the cuts on her hands, still full of glass shards.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe bit her lip, toughing it out, and started picking out the shards with her fingers. She wiped the blood on her clothes and grabbed the broom from the ground.
But then she remembered something and looked towards the blinding light. Squinting, she couldn't see who was in the car because of the glare.
Still, she took Peanut and walked over, knocking on the window to say thanks.
But after knocking for a bit, the window didn't budge. She paused, looked at herself, and figured maybe the person thought she'd be a bother.
So she gave a little bow to show her gratitude, then took Peanut and walked away.
The light behind them made their shadows stretch out super long.
After a few steps, the light suddenly went off, making the whole street seem even darker.
Freya instinctively glanced back but still couldn't see who was in the car, and nobody got out.
She turned back and kept sweeping where she left off.
Peanut clutched the bag tight, not letting go. When Freya picked up a bottle, he'd open the bag for her to drop it in.
Walter sat in the car, fingers drumming on the steering wheel, eyes calm as he watched them through the windshield.
Freya swept half the street, then took Peanut to sit down. She pulled out a piece of bread from her pocket and went to the nearby convenience store to grab a bottle of water, then sat on the steps with Peanut. She touched the bread, still a bit warm from her pocket, and handed it to Peanut.
Peanut took it and started munching, taking big bites.
Freya opened the water bottle and handed it to him. "Take it easy," she said, watching him gently.

But she didn't care. As long as Peanut was with her, she could keep going.
It was super late, and Peanut was definitely tired, but she still had half the street to sweep She couldn't leave Peanut alone at hbecause it didn't feel safe. Besides, whenever she left, no matter how deep asleep Peanut was, he'd wake up right away and follow her.
She had tried locking Peanut in the house before, but he'd bang on the door non-stop. When she opened it, he'd look up at her with those pleading eyes, like, "Don't leave me." So she had no choice but to bring him along to sweep the streets.
As for dishwashing or other jobs, she couldn't bring Peanut. Only when sweeping the streets could she have Peanut with her.
