Nicole looked down and smiled at Chatty and Fischer.
“Then can you two take care of each other here?”
Chatty was still a little upset. She pouted and acted pampered.
“But I want Mommy to stay with me. I’ll get scared when I see the monster…”
The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. She looked at Chatty and said helplessly, “Let’s not watch this if you’re afraid.”
“It’s okay, I’ll overcome my fear! Mommy, you can go to the back. I’m a brave baby!”
Chatty clenched her fists tightly.
The woman next to her could not help but praise Chatty with a smile.
“Is this your daughter? How is she so cute? She looks smaller than my kid, but she can express herself so clearly. She’s really smart…”
Nicole was also pleased with the compliment since everyone liked to hear praises of their children.
Chatty smiled and looked at the woman.
“Thanks, Miss! Your baby is also very cute!”
The woman was amused by Chatty. She then looked at her own daughter, who looked like she was about to cry at any time when she clutched her shirt and did not allow her to leave.
She felt helpless.
Nicole smiled and looked at Fischer.
“Then, will you be brave, Fischer?”
Fischer held Chatty’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, Mommy! I’ll protect Chatty!”
“You’re a good boy. After the performance, I’ll take you two to eat something nice. I’ll watch you from the back. Remember to follow the rules they give later…”
Nicole reminded them, then Fischer and Chatty nodded their heads in response.
Needless to say, they also knew these things.
Their teacher at home and Clayton instructed them countless times about these things, so they had it ingrained in them.
The woman looked at Nicole gratefully.
“Thank you so much. I feel very bad about this. Shall I treat you to dinner later?”
Nicole shook her head and said with a smile, “It’s okay. We’re all Medianians, so we should help each other. Where’s your seat?”
The woman quickly took out the ticket from her pocket, and Nicole made an exchange with her.
In just a few minutes, the venue was almost full.
Her seat was at the very back and was the second seat near the aisle.
When she walked back, she saw that the back row was also full except for the second last seat.
However, there was already someone sitting on the outermost seat.
That person gave her a very weird feeling.
The man was wearing a suit, sunglasses, a mask, and a hat commonly seen in Europe that covered half of his face.
As she walked in that direction, it was obvious that the man had noticed her.
For some unknown reason, the man seemed to tense up for a moment.
Nicole walked over, only to find that he was holding a cane in his hand.
She stood in front of him, and he became motionless.
A very strong and strange feeling suddenly surged in Nicole’s heart.
Her heart was pounding, and she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
However, no one here should give her this feeling.
Nicole took a deep breath and said in a calm voice, “Excuse me. My seat is next to yours.”
She held the crumpled ticket.
The man raised his head slightly, glanced at her through his sunglasses, and said nothing.
He did not stand up to let her in and only turned his body slightly to let her pass.
This kind of behavior was not very polite, but Nicole did not pursue the matter.
