Even so, Jack Adams remained gentle and cultured. "Mr. Swain, I believe I've made everything clear. It's getting late, and I need to take the children home. I hope your family will reunite soon."
After speaking, Jack Adams gave him a broad smile, then turned and left. This made Algerone Swain feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly, "Tsk!"
Meanwhile, inside the small western-style building.
Tristan stood up and said to Belinda, "Auntie, the dumplings were delicious. Thank you for your hard work today."
Belinda, who had been lost in thought, came back to reality. She looked up at him, a smile on her face. "You're welcome to come and eat anytime. Just give me a call in advance."
"Thank you." Tristan was immensely touched. He glanced at the girl beside him, then said to Belinda, "Auntie, I'd like to take Monica out for a stroll. I'll bring her back before ten. Is that alright?"
Tristan was very polite and considerate, aware that relationships need to be handled step by step, and that mothers tend to be worried.
Since they were together, Belinda would certainly not intervene anymore. "Go ahead, be careful on the road. The roads are slippery because of the snow, drive slowly."
"Okay."
And so, Tristan left with Monica.
As he started the car, Tristan asked tentatively, "Do you think your father had urgent business at the company?" He was skeptical.
"I don't think so. He probably went to see Mr. Adams. Did you see how jealous he was earlier? He didn't even need vinegar for his dumplings." Monica commented, "He was so sour."
Tristan couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought Uncle Swain could be so endearing."
"Men will be boys till they die," she said, shaking her head. "This is the first time I've seen him like this. I hope he can understand his feelings and win my mother over soon."
"From the moment he planted a garden full of roses, I think he has already confronted his feelings. He knows what he wants and understands that life should not leave regrets," Tristan analyzed. "Now, the main concern is your mother. What's going on between her and Mr. Adams? Are they dating?"
"I don't think so," Monica told him everything she knew. "They were high school classmates, so they have a good relationship. After all, friendship between classmates is purest. Mr. Adams may like my mom but hasn't shown much. Anyway, I don't know if he's pursuing her or not."
"Let's help where we can and stop what we should."
