Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Now, Hal was focused on his work and ignored women. No matter how his parent forced him, he would not go on a blind date.
Whether the team could work or not totally depended on the leader. In this quarter, the performance of Hal's board of directors was the best, surpassing the record high of all the years. The subordinates were very happy to receive benefits during festivals.
Looking at Hal's efforts, Howard and his wife also felt sorry for him. It was also a mistake for them to interfere in their son's marriage, but it had always been like this for the children's marriage in the group. But now it was their son's turn to be like this. Slowly, their son was like an enemy to them.
Hal was a filial child. He didn't want to see his parents unhappy, but he was afraid to go back home. They asked him to go on a blind date, so he simply took the busy work as an excuse and rarely went home.
Nora was also very busy these days and hadn't spent days with little Hugh. On Sunday, she promised to take little Hugh to the zoo to see the little monkeys.
"If there's nothing important this Sunday. I want to ask for a day off to accompany little Hugh to the zoo. He wants to see the little monkeys."
"It doesn't matter. Let's go together. How about I drive you and little Hugh to the zoo to see the little monkeys? Anyway, I have nothing to do."
Last time when she went back to her hometown, she asked Murphy to send her back. She felt sorry for him. This time, she didn't want to bother him to go to the zoo, so she took little Hugh to the zoo by bus or taxi.
Noticing her concern, he said, "If you feel sorry, you can invite me to dinner after going to the zoo on Sunday to thank me."
'When did he learn how to guess what am I thinking? It's not easy for him. I've been in Beijing for a long time. Except for going to work and sending children, I haven't gone to any places to play. I really don't know where the zoo is.'
What's more, she took Hugh by bus and waited for a taxi. What if he fell asleep and couldn't wait for the taxi? What if he caught a cold? After thinking for a long time, she agreed with him to go to the zoo with them and invite him to have dinner.
Nora was a thoughtful woman. She was very considerate in everything. It might be a good thing to think about it and avoid many regretful things.
On Sunday, as soon as the dawn broke, Murphy woke up and went out with Nora. He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He woke up several times a night.
Finally, it was dawn. After washing himself carefully, he looked at himself in the mirror. He smiled confidently.
The weather was good and he was in a good mood.
Murphy drove his beloved car all the way to the home of Nora.
Kindness was the nature of children, and children's words were the purest. When little Hugh saw Murphy coming, he happily ran to him, held his hand and said, "Hello, uncle Murphy."
When Murphy was with little Hugh, he was very happy and didn't feel depressed at all. And little Hugh also liked him very much and didn't feel strange with him at all.
Looking at the two men in front of her who were talking so happily, she thought, 'What a tragedy! There are too many coincidences in the world.'
After tidying up the room and filling a large glass of water for little Hugh, she took his hand and went downstairs with him.
