Aaron looked at Jackson sitting on the sofa and asked curiously, "Why don't I see Carl recently?"
"He is very busy chasing after a female star recently," Jackson said casually.
Hearing this, Aaron raised his eyebrows, "Doesn't Ada mind?"
"He kept it from her." Jackson blinked his beautiful eyes and glanced at Aaron.
Aaron shook his head and thought that the relationship between Carl and Ada could only depend on themselves.
Ada was very upset recently. She hadn't seen Carl for a long time, and didn't know what Carl was busy with.
She sat idly in the cake shop, observing the customers who came one by one.
Seeing Ada's dull look, the shop assistant couldn't help but walk up to her and said, "Boss, if you keep on staring at customers like this, they will be scared away!"
Ada looked at the shop assistant aggrievedly, "What should I do? I feel so bored..."
Suddenly, Ada saw a little boy like an angel coming in, and showed an interest. She liked children the most!
Seeing him walk in alone, Ada went over to him, crouched down, looked at his eyes and exclaimed, 'Wow, his eyes are so beautiful.'
Then she said to this little boy, "Hi, kid, why are you here alone? Don't your parents accompany you?" After these words, Ada thought, 'The parents of such beautiful child were so careless. Weren't they afraid that their child would be carried away by others?'
Blinking his big eyes which looked like grapes, that little boy answered, "My father will be here soon. I'll wait for him here."
WOW! That little boy was so adorable when he spoke!
Ada's eyes were full of mother's love.
She got up, took the boy to a clean table and let him sit on the chair. She turned around and brought him some cakes.
"How old are you?"
That little boy inclined his head, stretched out four fingers and answered, "Four years old."
"What's your name?"
"Barrie!" That little boy answered loudly as he ate the cake. It seemed that he liked Ada very much.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a man came in. He looked around and saw Barrie Zhou and Ada sitting together. He was stunned and came over.
Looking at the man in front of her, Ada stood up in a hurry.
The man was dressed in a black suit, with his well combed hair, and his heroic eyebrows made him look very energetic. The corners of his mouth naturally curved up, making him look inexplicably kind.
"Did Barrie bother you?"
Hearing his question, Ada replied in a hurry, "No, no, Barrie is very good boy!"
"Dad, I'm a good boy!" Barrie took his father's hand and shook it.
"I had something to deal with just now. Thank you for taking care of him for a while. I'm glad that you're not bothered."
Ada nodded and said, "I'm okay. Barrie is very attractive, but you shouldn't do that next time. Such a small child needs to be looked after by adults at any time."
Hearing what Ada said, Mack Zhou nodded with a smile, "It won't happen next time."
Then he took Barrie to pay the bill and bought a new cake.
Ada looked at Mack, feeling strange. She always thought she'd seen him before.
After hesitating for a while, she said, "... Do we know each other?"
Mack looked back at her without saying a word.
Seeing him like this, Ada was a little embarrassed, because what she said just now was like accosting him. She waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry. I just have a feeling that you are familiar."
Looking at Ada's exploring eyes, Mack smiled and said, "Maybe I often come here to buy cakes."
Hearing their conversation, the shop assistant couldn't help but explain for Ada, "Boss, I also feel he is very familiar. He comes here to buy cakes every day."
Ada was stunned and asked: "Really?"
Mack looked at the shop assistant, then raised the cake in his hand and said, "Maybe so. I like this cake very much."
Looking at the cake in Mack's hand, Ada felt a little surprised. She nodded and said to him with a sweet smile, "This cake is made by me. Thank you for liking it."
"Really? You should work harder to make a better cake. I have been eating this for nearly a year."
When Ada heard his words, she touched his head sheepishly. She liked cakes very much, but her life was always under the direction of Carl, so only when Carl ignored her could this cake shop get her heart.
Mack left with Barrie, who kept looking back at Ada.
When Mack held Barrie in the baby chair, he found Barrie looking at the cake shop. He felt funny. Pinching Barrie's chubby cheek, he said, "Do you like that aunt so much?"
"Yes!" Barrie nodded vigorously. "I like that aunt! That aunt is a nice person! Daddy, you don't like that aunt?"
Barrie's question made Mack fall into a deep thought. He looked up at Ada in the cake shop and whispered, "I like her too..."
At the same time, Mack's words rekindled Ada's passion for making cakes. Ada took off her expensive dress and went to the kitchen to pick up her long abandoned the skill of making cake.
In fact, she also forgot when she liked cakes. She just knew that she liked cakes very much since she was a child. When she was in the orphanage, she hoped that someone could bring cakes to visit the children, so that she could have delicious cakes.
At the age of seven, she was adopted by Carl's parents. They treated her like their own daughter, which made her grateful.
