Robbie looked up and frowned immediately when he saw that the boy was Timothy.
“Him again?” Jamie looked speechless. “The other time at the playground, his grandma reserved the merry-go-round for him, so we didn’t get to play too. Is she intending to reserve the whole restaurant this time? So does that mean we don’t get to play again?”
“Timothy’s grandma is so scary,” Ellie muttered as she hid behind Robbie. She grabbed the corners of her brother’s shirt tightly and looked away.
When Henry heard the kids’ conversation, he frowned and shot a glance at Spencer, who attended to the matter immediately.
“My darlings, don’t be afraid. With Mr. Henry here, no one would dare to bully you,” Henry bent down and reassured the kids while stroking Ellie’s hair gently.
“Mr. Henry, let’s just leave this place,” Robbie took Henry’s hand and tried to drag him away. “Timothy is our classmate. His mommy and both his grandmas are all very fierce. My Mommy had an argument with them once, and they made my Mommy so angry.”
“I’m sure it’s their fault,” Henry squatted down and gave Robbie a comforting hug while saying, “I know that your Mommy is a great woman just by seeing how outstanding the three of you are.”
“Yup, my Mommy is the best,” Jamie nodded his head immediately.
“Timothy’s grandma and mommy bullied us first. Mommy only argued with them because she wanted to protect us… “ Ellie pouted and said indignantly.
“With Mr. Henry around today, no one is allowed to bully you. C’mon, let’s go in now!” Henry said and led the kids into the restaurant.
“But… I’m scared…” Ellie hid behind Henry timidly and did not dare to go in.
“Don’t be scared. Mr. Henry is here,” Henry held the little girl’s hand.
“Mr. Henry, let’s forget it. We can head to the restaurant next door for pizza. I don’t want to cause Mommy any trouble,” Robbie said while tugging at Henry’s shirt.
“Silly boy.” Henry’s heart ached a little as he touched the boy’s head affectionately.
“If Timothy’s grandma had reserved the whole place, wouldn’t she chase us out?” Jamie frowned, looking worried.
