Carl opened the door and saw Ada. She was talking to a client with a friendly smile on her face. People might want to get close to her if they saw her smile. But he had seen her smile for more than 10 years, and had no feeling for a long time.
Ada was shocked to see Carl coming in. She was surprised and thought, 'How could he appear here?'
Carl approached them and when he saw Ada, who wore an apron and a white hat, he was surprised and said, "You really can make cake!"
Ada wanted to roll her eyes, but she didn't. After all, she was a lady.
But this cake shop had been opened for almost three years. Did he think that she was having fun?
"Do you think I bought the cake for you?"
Carl didn't respond. He picked up a piece of freshly made bread and put it in his mouth. Immediately, his mouth was full of the rich milky aroma. So sweet...
"I'm here to pick you up."
Heard what he said, Ada remembered that she was being angry!
"No!" Finishing the word, she turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Carl was shocked. She looked at her back and thought, 'Ada was so obedient before. Does she throw a tantrum now?
"Come back with me. My mom miss you so much."
Ada ignored Carl, who was following her. She didn't want to go back home after adjusting her emotions. And as soon as she saw Carl, she could think of the newspaper that day, which made her angry.
But Carl was very impatient. He pulled Ada aside and said in a low voice, "Go back with me. I have broken up with that woman."
Ada didn't prepare for it so that she suddenly ran into Carl's arms and felt the temperature of his chest under the palm of her hands. She was a little happy. Was he explaining to her just now?
"Really? Will you be on entertainment news again one day?" Ada pouted.
Carl smiled reluctantly and promised, "Never, Can we go home now?"
Janet, the shop assistant, came in to take something. She stared at them with wide eyes and thought, 'This man in a suit was the one on the news a few days ago?
But their difference was too huge anyway. The man in the photo was dressed in a golden flash coat and drove a flirtatious car. The man today was dressed in an expensive suit and his hair was combed up meticulously, He was looking like a domineering president.'
In fact, Carl was a pretty and attractive man. However, he would be normal when he was serious.
Ada caught a glimpse of Janet by the corner of her eye, sheepishly pushed Carl and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. Please wait for me outside."
Hearing Ada's words, Carl knew that his task was finished. So he agreed to go out. And he blinked at Janet who was passing by. How simple Janet was, her face turned red instantly.
Ada saw this scene with helplessness and thought, 'As Aaron and Jackson said, Carl has been flirting all the time!'
When Mack, who was sitting in the car, saw that Ada and Carl got into the car, his face swept the haze of the previous few days and he smiled like a flower. He sighed. He had thought to bring Barrie to her and make her happy. But now it was unnecessary.
"Dad, why don't we get out of the car?" Blinking his big eyes, Barrie asked in a sweet voice.
"Barrie, daddy doesn't want to eat cake all of a sudden. Can we come back another day?"
Barrie grasped the safety belt and said, "But...But Barrie misses that aunt."
Mack didn't expect him to say that. He was stunned and smiled helplessly. He thought in his heart, 'Is it hereditary?' Then he said to Barrie, "That aunt is not here today. We'll come another day."
Barrie nodded obediently when he heard that Ada was not in.
Touching Barrie's head tenderly, Mack started the car and drove back home.
"Hey, Aaron, how do you get the time to think of me?" Carl answered the phone while driving.
"How could I not think of you? You are making a scene in A City and everyone knows you now!" Aaron teased him.
Aaron took Irene in his arms after she hung up the phone, and asked curiously, "Honey, why do you care about Ada? You just know each other for a short time."
Irene rolled her eyes at him and curled her lips, "You don't know that! Girls' love is not measured by time, but by their personality. I like Ada's personality." Irene was dumped by Jonny before, so she knew that Ada must feel very unhappy. Moreover, Ada had been in love with Carl for so many years. But He didn't say that to Aaron because she didn't want Aaron misunderstand.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Two beautiful girls walked on the street happily with ice cream in their hands.
"Is it really okay if you don't go to the radio station today?"
"I wanted to ask for leave for a long time, but I've been struggling. Fortunately, you found me out, or I would have to suppress myself there to death! Do you know how shameless my director is? He made me do anything! And that woman hurt by Jackson last time. Later, she really vented all her anger on me!" Retorted Helen.
"…If you don't like this job, then just quit it."
"If I don't live well here, my parents will let me go home. I don't want to go back! So I have to work hard to support myself! Do you think I'm in the same situation as you? You are married! I'm still single!" Moreover, she was loath to leave Jackson.
Hearing her words, Irene thought that it's good to get married. Now she had her own car, house and business. She was really successful!
Helen was so angry with Irene's proud expression that she patted Irene on the head with her hand.
"Wow! I got ice cream on my head!" Touching the ice-cream on her hair, Irene shouted.
Seeing that, Helen blinked her eyes innocently, indicating that she really didn't do it on purpose. They found a bench at the roadside and Helen told Irene to sit down. Then she took out tissue and bowed Irene's head to wipe the stains for her.
Irene felt bored and watched the cars passing by. Suddenly, she was stunned.
The taxi looked so familiar. Judging from its license plate number, Wasn't this Aaron's taxi?! But the driver wasn't Aaron!
She stood up all of a sudden, which startled Helen. "What are you doing?" Helen asked.
Without saying a word, Irene walked a few steps forward and saw a middle-aged man clearly sitting on the driver's seat. He was not Aaron.
