Nicole could not read Lil Michael's thoughts, so she said, "Of course, I don't mind."
Lil Michael looked disappointed, but after seeing Tigger, he rejuvenated his spirit and hugged Tigger excitedly without letting go.
They soon arrived at the restaurant.
Lil Michael did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, h e acted mysteriously and asked Nicole and his father t o go in first.
The restaurant was quiet. It looked like it had been bought out in advance.
Clayton was a gentleman and walked to the front to pull out the chair for Nicole. The table was lit with candles. The atmosphere was beautiful and ambiguous.
A few minutes later.
Lil Michael excitedly came over with a shoebox-sized box and a big bouquet of white chrysanthemums.
Nicole saw the flowers and wanted to faint.
Clayton also did not expect his son to bring bereavement flowers. He froze for a moment and thought that this kid really hid it well.
He seemed to regret tagging along at this moment.
For a while, the two adults were nervous.
Lil Michael ran over cheerfully with his short little legs and raised the bouquet of white chrysanthemums.
"Pretty Lady, may you always be as fresh and beautiful as your favorite flowers!"
For a moment, the situation seemed a little strange.
Clayton looked away, trying to pretend not to hear or see this scene. 'This is not my son!’
After about two seconds of awkward silence, Nicole took the flowers with a smile so as not to discourage the child’s enthusiasm and goodwill.
"Thanks, Lil Michael. I love it..."
Nicole simply placed it on the other side with the candle. The further away, the better.
She felt a headache coming on.
Lil Michael excitedly took out the shoebox-sized gift box and opened it straight away.
"I collected colorful gemstones all over the world and made this mosaic photo for you, Pretty Lady! It's very unique!"
Nicole saw a gold photo frame that was simply extravagant.
The picture was a candid photo of Nicole that they took while traveling in France.
Lil Michael nodded solemnly. "Yes, it’s nothing!"
After a few seconds of silence, Nicole nodded her head.
"Okay, thanks, Lil Michael. I like this gift very much."
Nicole casually put the photo next to the bouquet.
For a moment, she felt that something was wrong.
The flowers, photo, and candle next to it...
She felt a lump in her throat.
Tigger, who sensed Nicole's emotions, jumped up on the table and used his tail to casually sweep the flowers onto the floor, then walked around to make a mess.
Lil Michael was annoyed and pulled Tigger down by the neck.
"Little tiger, you’re a fake! Don’t create trouble here!"
"No, I'm a real tiger!”
