Dixon looked at Helena for a while and remembered the fearless words Quincy had said then.
"Isn't Sonia single? Why can't I go after her?"
Why not?
Dixon came back to his senses. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes. Then he said to Helena, "Mom, pack up the soup."
Helena was stunned, "Why? You want to bring it to work?"
"No."
Dixon was like a man who just came back to reality. He raised a smile to his mother, "I'll bring the soup to your grandson right now."
Helena knew what Dixon was up to and immediately said with red eyes, "Sure, sure... Wait a moment. What else does Victor like to eat? Why don't I make a salad for him? By the way, remember to give him the necklace..."
"Okay, I will remember. You don't have to make a new dish. Too many dishes might be messy. The soup is enough."
"Okay, okay," Helena agreed. After a while, she came out with a thermos box, "Be careful on your way."
"Yeah."
Dixon took the thermos box and then got into the car. He drove directly to Sonia's house in W City.
It was seven o'clock that night. Queenie's house door was knocked on. Queenie was brushing her teeth. She went to open the door in her pajamas. But when she saw Dixon standing outside the door, with a handsome face, a nice suit, and a bag in his hand, she almost sprayed a mouthful of toothpaste foam on Dixon's face.
"What... What the..."
Queenie was startled and almost swallowed the toothpaste. She rushed back to the toilet and rinsed her mouth. After wiping her mouth, she ran out again and stood outside the door with a wary look, "Why... Why are you here?"
The others were still in the room and did not hear them.
Seeing it was Queenie, Dixon didn't feel embarrassed. Anyway, he and Queenie had no grudge. So, Dixon put the thermos box and the jewelry box in Queenie's hand and said in the same low magnetic voice, "My mother misses Victor. She made him the soup. Please tell Sonia to have some soup. In that box is the birthday gift my mother prepared for Victor. Please pass these to them."
Queenie's eyes widened, feeling a thousand pounds in her hand. She asked in a surprised tone, "Are you really Dixon Borris?"
Dixon laughed at Queenie's question, "What's wrong?"
"Huh..." Queenie gasped, "You treated Sonia with no mercy at first. Why are you trying to be nice to her now? Are you trying to get back together?"
"Yes."
Dixon admitted it frankly.
Queenie's heart did a complete somersault. "What... What are you talking about? I'll pass these to them. But please don't show up in Sonia's eyes and ruin her good mood."
Her remarks were a bit harsh. Dixon frowned. Just when he wanted to say something, Sonia came out with Victor and saw Dixon standing in the doorway.
Victor was wide-eyed and thought they had seen a ghost. They went back to W City after parting with Dixon. Dixon's house was in Seaside City. Why did he appear in front of their house again?
However, despite the shock, the boy still called out calmly and maturely, "Good evening Mr. Borris, what can we do for you?"
Dixon looked at Queenie and then at Sonia on the side. He chose to tell the truth, "Victor, my mom made some soup for you and your mom, so I sent it over."
Just for a pot of soup? Did he come from Seaside City to W City especially?
