There were more than one mischief. Alan Hoyle was so angry that he wanted to devour him.
“Dave Chou.” Alan Hoyle gritted his teeth.
“Oh, you mean the snake today.” Dave Chou said and smiled, “It’s a non-poisonous cauliflower snake. Don’t worry, Sir. Your daughter is beyond your imagination. She’s the bravest girl I have ever seen. I like her. She’s just as cunning as her male friends.”
“I don’t care if it’s poisonous, Dave Chou. I warn you, if you dare to encourage my daughter to play such dangerous thing again, I will end you.” if it wasn’t for making her daughter a strong girl, Alan Hoyle was not willing to let Annie learn any mischief from this man.
“Oh, I’m scared. Will you fancy a drink at waittingbar tonight?” Dave Chou asked informally. He was deliberately teasing him.
“What time?” Alan Hoyle snorted coldly.
“If you can’t make it today, I’ll see you tomorrow at nine. I’m looking forward to it~” Dave Chou raised his tone teasingly. Alan Hoyle immediately hung up the phone.
In the car, on the way home, an education class was conducted. Alan Hoyle and Olive Steele took turns in lecturing Annie. The little girl dropped her head. Her lips were tightly sipped, “I’ll tell grandpa and grandma that both of you bully me today…”
The little girl was calling for reinforcement. Alan Hoyle pinched her ear, “What are you talking about? If they know you did such thing, you will scare them so much that they have to be hospitalized. Do you want to do that?”
Annie thought for a while and said, “Well, I shouldn’t have told you about this.”
Chloe Malan’s feet hadn’t recovered yet. She still vaguely hurt when she walked, but it was not as obvious as before. She had returned to waittingbar to sing. It was her playground where she could freely be herself, the bar. Sometimes, she wondered how she turned herself into a pathetic housewife before. She was either enduring her mother-in-law’s nagging every single day or keeping the lamp on at night, waiting for her husband to come back, though he probably wouldn’t.
She swore she would never let herself live like that again.
