Gavin Graves spent a lot of effort on the Augustus Family, more than any previous romance ever required.
Even when marrying into the Richards Family, the bride cooperated unconditionally, requiring no worry from him.
Being neighbors certainly was convenient.
For example, he could claim a power outage at his place, knock on their door, and borrow a flashlight, and Mr. and Mrs. Augustus would always warmly entertain him.
Mr. Augustus said it was just a trip, told Gavin the location of the circuit breaker, and carefully taught him how to handle such situations. In the past, men in households would fix a bit of everything themselves — broken lamps, washing machines, fans, all tinkered with at home — back then, there wasn't the concept of home repair services.
To thank the couple, Gavin would buy some fresh fruits and bring them over.
