Translator: 549690339
“Hello, girl, can you hear me? Why did you suddenly go silent?”
Enna Clark immediately came back to her senses, “I can hear you, my phone just froze for a bit.”
“Really the signal? Why do I feel that you’re acting weird today?” Bob said suspiciously, then quickly realized and explained, “I didn’t not want to call you last night, it’s just that the signal was bad at our camping site. I couldn’t make calls or get online. I know you must have missed me, and I missed you too. Alright, don’t be mad at me.”
Enna couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, feeling as if she was being treated like a child.
Feeling much better, she raised the corner of her mouth and gently said,
“Alright, I won’t be mad at you. Just be sure to call me next time, okay?”
“Alright, alright, I got it. It’s not like I did it on purpose last night. Women are iust so troublesome.”
“Pfft, you’re still so young, and you’re already saying women are troublesome.” After saying that, Enna didn’t give him a chance to refute and immediately said, “Bob, wait for me at the kindergarten. I’ll be there to pick you up soon.”
“Okay, bye-bye.”
“Bye-bye.”
After hanging up, Enna called Tiffany Clifford to inform her that she had found Bob, and indeed, he had been ‘taken’ by his dad. She was just too anxious, which had led to the misunderstanding. Tiffany finally put her mind at ease after triple-confirming the situation.
Having settled things with Tiffany, Enna took a taxi and rushed to Bob’s kindergarten.
Because the neighborhood wasn’t far from the kindergarten, she arrived there quickly. After paying the cab driver, she grabbed her bag and hurried inside the school.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, she bumped into
Wyndham Howell, who was there with his daughter Rose and his own son.
Rose Howell still had her round-faced look, dutifully following behind Bob, as obedient as ever, looking like a submissive little wife. She was the first to spot Enna and sweetly called out, “Auntie.”
Seeing Enna, Bob’s serious little face brightened up a little bit, but just a little. He immediately reverted to his aloof demeanor, let go of Rose’s hand, and walked towards her. When he reached Enna, he turned around and politely said to Wydnham Howell, “Uncle Wyndham, my mommy is here to pick me up. I won’t be going with you guys anymore. Thanks for your help just now, Uncle Wyndham.”
Wyndham Howell smiled warmly and explained to Enna, “I came to pick up Rose and saw that Tobias was waiting for you alone, looking quite lonely. So I thought I’d give him a ride home as well. I didn’t expect to run into you as soon as we left.”
One should never bite the hand that feeds them, especially when it’s someone who kindly helped look after her son. Enna returned a smiling face to Mr. Howell and sincerely said, “Thank you, Mr. Howell. I just got off work, so I’m a bit late.”
“It just so happens that I don’t have a shift tonight either. Since we ran into each other, why don’t we all have dinner together later on?”
His invitation was neither abrupt nor ingratiating. His attitude was just right, and it felt as natural as if he were inviting long-time friends, making people feel particularly comfortable.
However…
Enna hadn’t forgotten her promise to Baron Lawrence.
If she had decided to open her heart and accept one person, she couldn’t accept another one. Even if Wyndham Howell didn’t make it explicit, she was not stupid and could see what he meant.
She had not rejected his invitation at the amusement park previously because it was her son Bob who had arranged the date, and she didn’t want to stand him up. But this time, she had no reason not to refuse.
She gave a slight smile and politely declined, “Mr. Howell, it wouldn’t be right for Tobias and I to intrude on your dinner with your daughter. We won’t be going. ”
