Chapter 193
Frustrated, Tom pulled at his hair. Miss Reed and Mr. Coleman are separated now, but what’s with that little boy? Why’s he still with her? Could it be that Mr. Coleman will be coming back later?
As soon as Toby heard what Tom said, his face turned grim. It’s fine that Sonia hasn’t
- left yet, but why did Zane leave his nephew with her?
“Where are they now?” Toby bit his lip.
“They’re at the spinning teacup ride. They seem to be having fun,” Tom noted.
Happy? I didn’t know she could be so childish to play things like that. Toby raised his brows.
“Okay. Watch them. Make sure she doesn’t lose sight of the kid,” Toby instructed in a low voice.
Trying not to laugh, Tom nodded. “Understood.” Lose the child? President Fuller obviously just wanted to know what Miss Reed is doing, but he’s too embarrassed to say so, so he’s using the child as an excuse.
Meanwhile, at the spinning teacup ride, Douglas smiled happily. “Aunt Sonia, this is really fun!” All this while, he had thought that he was much more mature than other children, so he had never liked coming to places like this, thinking that only childish children liked it. However, he realized that it was really fun after coming here today.
As he let go of the handrail, Sonia wrapped her arms protectively around him immediately. “Douglas, be careful! It’s dangerous if you let go of the handrail. Quickly, hold on to it.”
Though the spinning teacup ride was not as dangerous as other rides, it was still better to be careful since he was a child.
“Okay.” Douglas obeyed and put his hand back onto the handrail.
After playing one round, he seemed reluctant to leave. Hence, she took him on the ride for another round. This time, he seemed almost satisfied. “I’m hungry…” He rubbed his belly.
“Oh, you’re hungry, huh.” After looking around, she saw a restaurant nearby. She
smiled, “Let’s go have something to eat, shall we? After that, we’ll go home after playing a little while more.”
“Okay.” The boy nodded obediently.
She really loved this kid. Patting his head, she held his hand and headed to the restaurant.
At the same time, Toby received news of them going to the restaurant from Tom.
“Sir, are you going too?” Tom queried.
Toby’s face darkened. “Why should I?”
“To see Ms. Reed, of course! And to make sure that she doesn’t lose the child. What if she needs to go to the toilet but can’t take him with her? Then, he’ll be left all alone in the restaurant. How dangerous is that? As Mr. Coleman’s friend, I’m sure you won’t want his nephew to be in danger, right?” Tom adjusted his glasses and replied with a cheeky smile.
At that moment, Toby’s eyes flickered. Immediately, he stood up. “I see. I’ll go check on them.”
“Alright. I’ll make a reservation for you,” Tom informed Toby.
Toby acknowledged Tom before hanging up the phone. With a sigh, Tom hung up as well. He sacrificed so much just to help Toby realize his feelings for Sonia. Shaking his head, he entered the restaurant.
Sonia and Douglas were seated at the corner of the restaurant. Not knowing what children should eat, she ordered some simple food. Halfway through his meal, Douglas put down his cutleries. “I want to go to the washroom.”
“The washroom?” Troubled, Sonia furrowed her brows. Douglas was a boy, so there was no way that she could bring him into the ladies’, but she also could not enter the gents. Yet, she could not trust the waiter to go with him. What should I do?
As she was still pondering upon this question, Douglas’ face had already turned red. “I can’t hold it in anymore…”
Seeing the uncomfortable look on his face, she rubbed between her brows.
“Whatever. I’ll ask the waiter to accompany you to the gents. Wait for me here. Don’t go anywhere, okay?” She would not be able to bear the responsibility if he went missing
