Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 26

After speaking to Brandon, Bonny was sure that Richard was the uncle. She was a little thrilled. She tugged Richard's sleeves and asked, "Daddy, why didn't you give the medicine to Mommy yourself that day? Brandon and I spent a long time looking for the drug store later at that day."

Richard's eyes narrowed a little.

Pearl scolded Bonny hurriedly, "Bonny. Be quiet."

Bonny drew back her neck. She was always a troublemaker since she was young. Although her brother would like to take the blame for her, she still couldn't escape her punishments. So she was afraid of Pearl sometimes, especially when Pearl called her full name.

Immediately, the car became quite.

"You're bad at names?"

Richard's broke the silence.

Pearl was taken aback. She saw two dark eyes, but they were no longer cold. And in fact, he was staring at her inquisitively.

"Brandon? Bonny?" Richard seemed to be deep in his thoughts, "Any special meanings?"

Pearl pressed her lips. "No."

"Yes." Bonny interrupted, "Mommy, you said our names were special."

Pearl's face stiffened. "Bonny!"

Richard frowned and he noticed that Pearl was becoming nervous. He turned to Bonny and asked, "Bonny, what do they mean?"

"Mommy said that Brandon means wish you a good luck!"

Good luck...

Hearing it, Brandon's calm face froze.

Pearl lowered her head with huge embarrassment.

It was so embarrassing. When she was pregnant, she got a malposition of fetus. But she still hoped she could give birth to the children naturally and had been praying "good luck to myself" even when she was in labor. Therefore, she decided to name the twins after this story, hoping that they would share this same luck.

Pearl lost her words. She inspected Richard cautiously and muttered, "I'm not blaming you for that."

"I'm hungry."

"We'll be home in a few minutes."

So many things happened the birthday party. The twins didn't have got the chance to have lunch. She knew it.

Bonny rubbed her stomach but she still grabbed Richard's sleeve with the other hand.

Richard gazed at the small hand. A few seconds later, he raised his head and said to the driver, "Get a restaurant."

Pearl looked at Richard in astonishment. "There's no need for that."

Richard took a glimpse at her. His eyes were still cold and calm. He parted his thin lips, "I didn't do it for you."
