Mysterious Mr.Richard

Richard's eyes darkened. He looked carefully at Brandon. The boy's eyes are as black as obsidian. But his look was more distant than that of the other children at his age.

Pearl was taken aback.

Brandon was a silent and cold boy, but he was not rude. Even if he really did not like what people gave to him, he would also thank them politely and receive it.

But Brandon refused Richard, which was unusual.

Fortunately, the waiter came over and broke the awkward silence.

Pearl watched at Richard wiping the ice cream off the mouth of Bonny, and he seemed not to care too much about Brandon's rejection.

Bonny enjoyed Richard's service naturally. She blinked to him and asked, "Daddy, do you like fries?"

"Not really."

"You probably never tried them in the best way."

"What is that?"

"Look." Bonny smiled mysteriously. She picked up a fry and poked it into her ice cream. After getting some ice cream around the fry, she sent it to Richard excitedly, "Daddy." Pearl's face stiffened. She sounds a little unnatural. "Bonny."

Bonny was holding a fry with ice cream. She was sunny and innocent. Richard stared at this miniature of Pearl. And suddenly, everything began to overlap with his memory from seven years ago. Bonny's eyes were curved when she was smiling. She resembled a lot the young girl in his memory.

"Richard, I have my exclusive formula for eating fries."

"Dipping your fries into the ice cream. You probably never tried it, right? I don't usually tell people about it."

"Come on, just try it!"

"Daddy?"

A childish voice made him come back to senses.

Bonny winked at him and urged again, "Have a try. It's very delicious. I don't usually tell people about it." The gentleness faded a little from Richard's eyes. "Well, Bonny, you should it. I don't like sweet food." "Daddy, you didn't even have a try. How could you know that it's not good? Why don't you try it?"

"Bonny." Pearl interrupted her with a bitter voice. "You should eat yourself. Stop it or you won't be allowed to have ice cream anymore."

It would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Bonny if she couldn't eat ice cream anymore. So immediately, Pearl's threat worked. Bonny withdraw her hand reluctantly. She ate the fries but still recommended, "Daddy, you should try it in the future."

The little girl didn't notice that Pearl's face was stiff. Pearl didn't even have the courage to look at Richard.

Time could definitely heal a lot of things. However, whenever you recalled the past details, all the memories would hurt you once again suddenly and everlastingly. The growing dull pain was overwhelming and suffocating.

Children will never be able to eat silently. After finishing the chicken wings and fries, Bonny ran to the slide in the children's play area. As Brandon was worried about her, hence he left with her.

Pearl and Richard didn't follow them and they were just watching the children from their table.

Pearl lowered her head to get some food. In her mind, she only wanted to finish her lunch quickly and leave here as soon as possible.

"Why do you come back?"

She heard Richard's calm voice coming from across the table.

Pearl looked at him. His composed eyes made her panic.

"I am transferred to here to work."

"Just work transfer?"

"Yes."

"Then how long will you stay?"

Richard pressed on. Evidently, he was forcing her to give an exact answer.

Pearl pondered for a while and replied, "About 6 to 12 months."

"Then, after that?"

"Then..." Pearl's throat was a little dry. "I need to check with the headquarters at that time."

Richard's eyes darkened a little. He snorted, "You're still so unrestrained."

She always returned or left whenever she wanted to, just like before.

Pearl did not know what to say, so she put down her chopsticks quietly.

"Seven years before, did you leave because of the kids?"

Richard looked at her coldly. His gaze was burning a hole in Pearl, which made her clenched her fingers. Her nails sank into her palms which caused a sharp pain.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
