Audrey seized the opportunity and quickly took out her phone to pay by scanning the code. She admired the shop owner's style so much that she intentionally rounded up the payment.
The shop owner beamed joyfully. He completely changed his cold demeanor and began showering Audrey with praises.
Seeing she was ignored, Lily was so furious she almost fainted. Pointing at the owner in rage, she said, "I'll remember this today, you better watch out in the future."
The shop owner seemed oblivious to Lily's threats. He still politely said, "Take care, Mrs. Oxman."
Lily, still harboring a belly full of harsh words, was furious. With no way to deal with the shop owner, she could only grit her teeth and mutter about making him pay in the future, then angrily turned around to leave.
But when she turned, whether she didn't see Sunny next to her or did it on purpose, she bumped hard into him.
Sunny had a dazed look on his face ever since Lily appeared. There was no time to dodge before the collision, and he ended up sitting on the ground with a thud.
Seeing Sunny knocked down, Audrey scolded with a stern face, "Stop right there! How can you walk like that and not even realize you hit a kid."
Before she could finish her sentence, Sunny's sharp and painful scream suddenly echoed in her ears.
Sunny sat on the ground. He held his head tightly with both hands and cried helplessly, "Don't come near me, don't hit me!" He wished he could curl up into a small ball. His voice was sharp and filled with despair.
Audrey felt like her heart was being stabbed as she hugged Sunny tightly.
But Lily, who had upset Sunny, had a look of disdain on her face. She patted her coat and remarked nastily, "Brat, what are you screaming about? No manners!" She even spit on the ground before strutting away.
Audrey couldn't afford to argue with Lily. She just held Sunny close, softly comforting him with a loving expression. She said, "Sunny, my dear, don't be scared. I am here. No one will hurt you ever again."
Her voice was gentle, but Sunny seemed even more agitated for some reason. He thrashed and screamed like a little animal cornered.
