Chapter 251: Meeting
The first to enter was the butler.
He looked a little surprised, but he still held it in. When he saw Mrs. Hunt, he bowed. “Madam, Ms. Melissa is here.”
Only then did he move aside and reveal the person behind him.
Melissa was wearing a casual family suit. She did not look like she had specially dressed up. However, her clothes were fitting and elegant. She was smiling as well, but her smile was appropriate and did not appear flattering. She was poised and composed.
When Mrs. Hunt saw her, she nodded secretly.
At least in this outfit, she was not the type to curry favor with the Hunts, and would not be hated.
She looked at Melissa and behind her. After a while, she asked in surprise, “Where’s the child?”
When she said this, Melissa revealed an awkward expression.
She looked at the butler and felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of the situation earlier.
Just now, when Melissa looked at Pete, she realized that he was hugging his head and burying it on the sofa in the backseat. After she spoke, he directly said gloomily, “Aunt, my… my stomach hurts. I want to go home…”
Melissa was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Where does your stomach hurt? Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Cherry, let me take a look!”
“I don’t want to,” Pete said firmly. “I want to go home and find Mommy. Mommy is a doctor. She can treat all illnesses.”
Melissa was anxious. “Then I’ll accompany you back.”
No matter how important it was, it was not as important as the child.
However, just as she finished speaking, she saw Pete look up from inside the car. He blinked at her and said softly, “I’m fine. It’s just that this butler uncle looks too scary. I don’t want to get out of the car. I want to go home and find Mom.”
Melissa: “…”
The butler, who had taken the blame for no reason: “…”
The butler touched his face. If he had not always been famous for being polite and gentlemanly, he would have felt like a monster!
Look at how frightened the little kid was!
Melissa was helpless as well. She coaxed Pete to get out of the car again. “Cherry, Uncle Butler is very kind. If you get out of the car, he’ll take you out to play with toys and eat delicious food, okay?”
Pete shook his head like a rattle drum. “I don’t, I don’t want to. I want to go home and find Mommy!”
Melissa: “Cherry, you’re being rude~”
Pete retorted seriously, “I’m a child. I’m unreasonable!”
Melissa, “…”
Pete said, “Besides, bringing me in like this is embarrassing. You might as well let me go home to Mommy.”
Melissa: “…”
She had been convinced!
In the end, she could only get out of the car and get the chauffeur to send Cherry home first. The chauffeur would pick her up later.
Facing Mrs. Hunt’s question, Melissa could only explain, “The child is very clingy to her mother. She didn’t see her mother and wanted to go home. I got the chauffeur to send her back first. Mrs. Hunt, how have you been lately?”
