When Phillip called Ann, she ran out of the restaurant and walked along the road in a daze.
In the call, Phillip sounded a little dissatisfied.
"Where are you?"
Only when Ann heard Phillip's voice, she came back to her senses. She looked around and found that she was not familiar with the surrounding buildings, and pursed her lips.
"I don't know... There is a gourmet square here. It seems to be holding an event..."
"Wait for me there!"
Phillip drove fast. When he was looking for Ann, Ann was sitting alone in front of a barbecue stall. There were all kinds of meat kebabs in front of her, as well as two bottles of fresh orange juice.
Seeing Phillip come over, Ann waved at him, seemingly relieved, and whispered to Phillip.
"Fortunately, you are here. I order a lot of food and drinks and find that I have no cash with me. The stall doesn't accept online payment. I think that I am going to repay the debt by myself here!"
Phillip looked around at the open-air environment and the greasy tables and chairs. His eyebrows unconsciously frowned, but when he saw that Ann was eating happily, he could only take a tissue to put on the chair and sit down on it.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?"
Ann paused as she ate the kebab, a hint of sadness flashing across her eyes, but she quickly hid her sadness.
She stuck out her tongue and curled her lips into a childish smile.
"I just suddenly wanted to eat kebabs. Usually, kids like Nikki can't eat it. I can only secretly eat it outside."
Phillip did not think too much about it. Ann had given birth to three children when she had just reached adulthood.
She had raised Nikki alone, and she couldn't do a lot of things that her peers could.
Thinking about how she had suffered all these years, he felt both self-blame and heartbroken.
