"Hi Mr. Jeon.” I heard this man greeted in his late 50s standing before me. “What a pleasure to meet you personally. Let me introduce Julian, he speaks Korean. Feel free to tell me anything about this investment.”

I smiled. “Of course. My company is expanding business and horseback riding became my most loved hobby. New Zealand is a delightful country. I would love to have something to go back to every time.” The translator is able to deliver that to him. And while he does so, I scanned my eyes to his beautiful home.

The place is made of wood, high ceilings and huge glass windows. Even the fireplace looks majestic with these old bricks surrounding it. I noticed some picture frames on the top of the fireplace and realized he has a picture of Jungshin too.

I read on Lucid’s research information that he helped Lisa a lot. He hired her and even gave her a cabin to stay with my son. And I really want to thank him for that. I want to invest to his ranch for him to keep this in a very long time. And I want to know the life my son grew into.

“Jungkook-ssi?” I heard Julian called, making me snap my head to look at the both of them.

“Ah, yes.” I said and nodded. “I wouldn’t really mind skipping the specifics. I am willing to give the initial payment today.”

When Julian translated that, Mr. Brooke widened his eyes as he looks at me.

“I’m sorry, I d-don’t understand.” He said and stared at me.

I sighed and puts my hands in my pocket. “I have to tell you something.”

Barry Brooke is an intelligent farmer. He keeps his animals and vineyard well taken care of. Apparently, this time of the year is not a very good time and he is losing a lot of horses and calves. Assistance for their medications costs expensive. He is doing well with his harvest but that is not enough to keep most of the cows he is taking care of.

We roamed around the vineyard. God, it’s beautiful. I understand why Lisa decided to be in this place because it’s breathtaking. The huge greenfield is gorgeous. Watching the horses run and the cows eat the grasses is so fascinating. The chirps of the birds around even sound therapeutic. I am glad my son grew up in this kind of environment.

When I told him that I am interested to be a picker too, he wasn’t able to answer me right away. I mean, I am not sure how tough the job is but I think I can handle it. I worked with cars, I think I can manage working in a barn.

I hope so?

Julian showed me the entire vineyard and trained me how to pick clusters that are ready for harvest. And I think I can handle that. My eyes caught Lisa from a distance and she looked comfortable with the job she is doing. Julian even shared that she can tame wild horses too which damn amused me. I frowned when I heard her drop her basket and bended her knees to started picking them up.
