Nina was worried about Howard. She went to bed after taking a shower.
Nina had one advantage, that was, no matter where she went, she wouldn't recognize the bed and would fall asleep soon.
In the middle of the night, Nina woke up from a nightmare.
She screamed and woke up, sweating.
Three seconds later, Howard entered the room.
"Nana, what's wrong with you?" He held Nina in his arms.
Nina was shivering all over. "I dreamed that a beggar took my child away." Nina shook her head in panic. She tightly pinched his chest and said, "no, it's not a beggar. It's you. You took away my child Please give my baby back to me, Mr. Howard. "
Nina's tears ran down from Howard's chest. He didn't like to wear pajamas at night, so tears fell directly on his abdomen.
It was as itchy as crawling over a soft little bug.
"Honey, it's okay. I'm here, so is your baby." Howard kissed away Nina's tears, lowered his head and gently stroked her belly, whispering, "little babies, don't bully your mommy. You have to be obedient, or I'll kick your ass when you come out!"
Howard's gentle words calmed Nina down. She smiled through tears and broke away from his arms. "I'm sorry. I had a nightmare."
He held her face in his hands and asked, "my little girl, what kind of dream have you had?"
In her dream, the golden sunlight shone on the weed. Nina was playing with two cute kids in the weed.
Then the sky suddenly darkened and began to rain.
Then, a man took the little girl from Nina.
the daughter who had the same beautiful face with hers.
Nina wanted to shout, but her throat was filled with cotton. She couldn't do anything to get her daughter back.
The man turned back and smiled coldly. "This is not your child, but mine. So I want to take her away!"
Nina cried in her heart, "no --"
But the man laughed even more hysterically. He took the pink little boy into the white fog. When the man looked back, Nina saw the beggar's face.
"Beggar, don't take my child away!" Nina shouted in despair.
A wild smile appeared on the beggar's face. Gradually, it turned blurry and was replaced by Howard's ugly face.
"Mr. Howard, please don't take away my child. Please!" Nina knelt down in the heavy rain. Glancing at her with contempt, Howard left with the little girl.
Nina cried in despair. It rained more and more heavily
Until she woke up.
Nina took a breath with fear, "Mr. Howard, you won't take away my child, will you?"
Regardless of Nina's sad expression, Howard rubbed her nose and consoled her, "don't worry, I won't. I don't want you to be sad."
"Thank you, Mr. Howard!" Nina slowly lay down.
With a gentle smile, he said, "go to sleep. I'll be with you."
Nina didn't chase him away. Instead, she moved inside and made way for the bed outside.
Howard laid down and put Nina's small hand in his warm palm.
They just held each other's waist like that for a whole night.
Nobody left.
The next day, when Nina woke up, she found that the other side of the bed was empty.
Nina put her hand under her nose and kissed it. It was warm.
They also smelled like beggar!
But, it was Mr. Howard who had been holding her small hand last night!
To put it more precisely, the scent of Howard was warm.
For the first time, Nina thought that Howard was a good person, as if he was a big brother, who would accompany her when she needed.
She felt happy to have such a big brother!
Nina got out of bed and changed. It was already 8 a.m.
She brushed her teeth and washed her face. When she tied up her ponytail, Howard wore an apron, holding the pumpkin pancake he just made.
Seeing Howard's face full of flour, Nina couldn't help but laugh, "Howard, you were flour in the sink."
"Sweetheart, taste the pumpkin pies I made this morning. Do they taste like what we had in B city? Come on." He took another piece seriously and put it into Nina's mouth.
How could Nina refuse such a gentle Howard?
She opened her mouth obediently and nodded repeatedly. "Well, it tastes good. Mr. Howard, you are a good cook!"
Howard, the eldest son of the Hua family, personally made pumpkin cakes for her. Even though Nina still thought about beggar in her heart, she had not been moved by his tenderness.
She didn't taste pumpkin pies, but sweetness filled her mouth.
"I'm glad you like it. Eat more this morning." Howard answered with satisfaction.
"Yeah, I'm really hungry!" Said Nina, putting another pumpkin pie into her mouth.
Nina ate a lot for breakfast. After breakfast, Howard took a walk with her in the garden.
"Mr. Howard, I always have a wish. Do you want to know?" Nina stopped in front of the bamboo forest. She looked up and squinted in the direction of the sun.
"Do you want to marry me?" Howard snickered and looked at Nina intently.
She gave him a reproachful look and said, "I'm serious."
