"Mr. Handsome, what do you think?" Dora asked with her head tilted.
Seeing that Bernard was still silent, she continued, "My daddy doesn't want my mommy anymore. He's a playboy and has already forgotten about my mommy. He won't return and snatch me and my brother from you. If you marry my mommy, you'll have two adorable children…"
Bernard took his time to finish the chicken noodle soup. He was satisfied with it. The only thing lacking was that the environment was too noisy.
He put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth elegantly using the napkin. "Didn't you say your father was an ugly and poor man who had a short life?"
Dora was taken aback. Did she say that before?
"Stop trying to convince me. I won't take this on," said Bernard coldly.
Upon hearing that, Dora pursed her lips and frowned. She looked at him pitifully as if she were about to cry at any time.
For some reason, Bernard couldn't bear to see her cry.
"Since you've finished eating, you should have some fruits."
At this time, Dylan carried a plate of persimmons over. Next to the plate was a knife. He walked toward the dining table and found the right angle. Suddenly, he tripped over his feet and fell forward. The fruits and knife flew toward Bernard.
Dylan shouted, "Watch out!"
When Bernard saw that Dylan and a bunch of other things were heading toward him, he raised his hand instinctively and held Dylan, preventing him from hitting the table. The persimmons and knife all fell onto his legs.
"I'm sorry. I slipped. Did you get hurt?" Dylan checked Bernard's legs for injuries.
