Chapter 154
The waiter swiftly escorted Bryce out.
He seemed sad, but when he spotted Justin and Tina, his eyes brightened, and he exclaimed joyously, “Mom! Dad!” and ran straight into Tina’s arms. “Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?” When Bryce heard this, he was perplexed and said, “They didn’t do anything to me. They brought me someplace to eat and said Dad would pick me up later.” This wasn’t what the manager had told them earlier. Instantly, Tina’s face darkened, and she turned to look at the manager and waiter.
“I hope you both understand that we were simply doing our job. We didn’t want him to get lost because he was on his own,” the two said, with the same smile hanging on their face.
That was what he said, but they all knew that he was instructed by Weston to do so.
Tina didn’t say much and accepted that she was just unlucky.
As long as Bryce was fine, there was no need to care about these little things anymore. She held his hand and shot a glance at Justin. “Solve the rest. I’ll take him to the car.”
Justin didn’t say a word and nodded with a sullen face. Bryce was perplexed and turned to Justin, asking, “Dad, why are you not leaving with us?” He paused before adding, “Where’s the miss?”
Justin gently patted his head. “Go inside the car with your mom first. I’ll come later. As for the miss, she suddenly has an errand to run. We’ll see her next time, okay?”
Hearing that there was a next time, Tina instantly huffed in dissatisfaction.
She didn’t say anything, but her face was scornful. She didn’t want to say anything hurtful to her kid. “Come on, hurry up. Later, we’ll celebrate Bryce’s birthday.”
Bryce’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “Really?” He was only a child, yet he was so mature. Tina was heartbroken at how understanding Bryce was, and she held him softly. “Of course, I took the day off just to celebrate with you.” “Can I sleep with mom tonight?”
