Chapter 369 A Sore Subject
The next morning, Lyra went to the airport alone. Just after the safety inspection, Su Yuan rushed over. “Ms. Jones, the flight is late.” “What? Can we still make it?” Lyra looked at the time. Su Yuan immediately nodded. “I changed to the first-class cabin of a small airline company. There are still two hours before boarding.” “Okay, let’s go eat something first.”
As soon as they arrived at the elevator door, they saw Hank and Keith coming from the side. It seemed that they were in the same direction.
“Could it be the same flight?” Lyra asked Su Yuan in a low voice. “There’s no other way, Ms. Jones. There are only two flights this morning.” Lyra also knew that she could not avoid it, so she just faced it calmly. She turned her head and said frankly, “Good morning.” Hank nodded. If he hadn’t known her flight beforehand, he wouldn’t have come so early. At the same time, Keith threw a grateful look at Su Yuan, but Su Yuan turned her head away and pretended not to see it. If Su Yuan hadn’t told him about Lyra’s flight number, Hank wouldn’t have been in a good mood and the entire Barnwell group would have been shrouded in a haze.
However…
The four of them came to the only tea restaurant upstairs. They heard a child crying. They looked in the direction of the crying. Xuanze was eating with his daughter. Ni’er looked very unhappy. No matter what Xuanze fed her, she shook her head vigorously. The man’s patience seemed to have reached its limit. “If you don’t eat, go home with the driver.” “… I won’t!” Ni’er jumped down from the stool, carried her small bag and ran outside. She bumped into Lyra the moment she came out. She saw Lyra’s face clearly and directly threw herself into her arms. Hank frowned. What was going on? Keith and Su Yuan were also stunned. Why was Xuanze’s daughter so close to Lyra?
“Ni’er. What a coincidence. Who did you come with?” Lyra half-squatted down and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “With dad?” she asked softly.
Ni’er was angry with Xuanze, and her little mouth was bulging with anger.
After she finished speaking, she slowly nodded. Then, she hugged Lyra’s neck and refused to let go. Xuanze ran out from inside and saw the little girl lying in Lyra’s arms. He could only say in a low voice, “Sorry, I have to trouble you again.” “No, it’s normal for a child to be picky about food.” Lyra lowered her eyes and gently stroked Ni’er’s head.
She comforted Ni’er in a very gentle manner.
The little girl slowly lifted her head from her arms, but in the next second, she noticed Hank standing next to Lyra. She cried out in fear. This time, she hugged Lyra even tighter. “You scared her,” Lyra immediately looked at Hank. “She is Xuanze’s daughter. I don’t think you need to take care of her.”
“Why are you so heartless?” Lyra was stunned for two seconds.
