There often had many times in life when we was speechless. Not all the things which was true or false could be explained, and not all the contradictions could be sorted out. Perhaps keeping silence was the best answer and explanation.
The waiter handed the VIP card to Murphy, but he didn't put it in his pocket. Instead, he said to little Hugh, "Baby, tell me if the food in this restaurant tastes good or not?"
Little Hugh nodded hard. It was the most luxurious meal he had ever had when he grew up at this age.
Murphy smiled and said, "I'll give this card to you. When you want to eat, Mommy will take you here, okay?"
Little Hugh looked at his mother and didn't take the card. Although he liked eating the food in this restaurant very much, he couldn't accept other people's food without his mother's permission no matter how much he liked it.
He knew that the reason why little Hugh didn't accept the card was that Nora was skillful in teaching children and able to provide guidance for him. How could she educate such a little child so well and obediently! She was really a good mother!
Looking at the pitiful eyes of little Hugh, Nora comforted him, "Baby, when you grow up a little more, I will take you here again. Now you are still young. Eating too much food here is not good for your health."
Of course, little Hugh didn't believe it. Since it was not good for the child's health, why were there so many children eating here? He pouted his little mouth to show his dissatisfaction.
Looking at her, Murphy said, "You'd better give him a more satisfied life. It's good for the child's growth to let the child know more new things."
Of course, she wanted to give the best to him, but the living conditions didn't allow her to do so. She looked at Murphy and wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She silently endured the pain in her heart. She felt sorry for little Hugh.
Seeing that Nora had nothing to say, Murphy said to little Hugh while thewell-timed arrival, "Take the card. If your mother doesn't say anything, it means that she agrees. Take the card."
Joyously, little Hugh took the card and carefully put it in her small pocket. She had no choice but to agree because Hugh liked the gift from Murphy so much.
At this time, a waiter came over and said, "Your family is the sixty-sixth customers for our shop has come today. Our newly launched event, the sixty-sixth place every day can receive a beautiful gift from our shop."
The waitress regarded the three of them as a family, but everyone would think so. The man was tall and handsome, the woman was gentle and beautiful, and the child was obedient and lovely.
"We're so lucky to receive gifts when we have dinner here. We're so happy." replied Murphy. Nora was still in a daze.
The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, the new promotion has been held for several days."
"Then what kind of delicate gift is this?" Murphy asked with a smile.
The waiter said, "Sir, please come with me to get the gifts."
Holding little Hugh in his arms, Nora took her bag, and the three of them followed the waiter to the second floor. A beauty standing on the second floor said, "Sir, ma'am, nice to meet you. We give you parent-child outfits this time."
Nora was a little dizzy. She didn't expect that the pajamas she gave her were parent-child clothes.
When Murphy saw these lovely pajamas, he was very happy. He asked little Hugh, "Baby, you like little monkeys. Let's choose a pajamas of the little monkeys, okay?"
