When I Met You novel Chapter 40

Ruby was striding forward with her short legs while practising to smile, but all of a sudden, she suddenly felt herself stepping on nothing.

She anxiously turned around and saw an extremely handsome face.

Ruby froze for a second. She blinked her huge eyes and smiled at Edward.

Scott also froze on the side as his eyes were glued to this scene. He couldn’t believe that Edward was holding a child for more than one minute, and he didn’t look like he was putting her down any minute.

Scott thought that he was seeing things…

Besides, for some reason, he strangely felt that this scene of Edward hugging this child look very harmonic.

While the two of them were still looking into each other’s eyes, Scott circled around to the girl’s side and asked with a giggle, “Little kid, what’s your name?”

“My name is Ruby White.”

Ruby answered and she didn’t look like she wanted to get off Edward just yet.

“Ruby White? Your family name is White…”

Scott ran his hand over his chin while examining Edward, “Is this child… your illegitimate child with your wife? Don’t you think that she resembles Mrs. Ford?”

Edward frowned at shot a glance at Scott before finally putting Ruby back on the ground.

He looked closely Ruby who had tied her hair up into a ball shape probably because she was going to dance to the Little Swan song. Her pale little face had a pair of sparkling huge eyes. Her face matched her dress very well, which made her look very adorable.

“Where is your mother?”

This child was very good-looking, and although she was at an age when she could use the washroom by herself, her mother was still very irresponsible. If such a tender child appeared at the male’s washroom, no one could imagine the repercussions.

“Mummy… Mummy is coming only later.”

Ruby blinked while answering Edward seriously.

She suddenly clutched her stomach, “Pee… I want to pee. Uncle, can you wait for me first? I need to pee, I…”

Ruby wanted to continue the conversation with Edward, but she looked like she was holding in her urge to urinate.

If this was the past, Edward would definitely refuse to wait. He didn’t have any patience at all for children, and this was precisely the reason she didn’t let Susan bear a child for him.

He was born in a complicated family, and while growing up, he never felt any joy as a child. He self-assumed that he wouldn’t be able to give his child a happy childhood, seeing that he never had one.

“Alright, just go. We will wait you here!”

Scott couldn’t see through Edward’s mind since he wasn’t saying anything in response.

At the same time, the little girl was clinging to Edward’s pants and waiting for his response. Scott couldn’t bear to see this any longer, so he answered on behalf of his brother.

“Okay!”

Ruby finally got an affirmation from Edward, so she immediately dashed off in the direction of the washroom. This time, she didn’t enter the wrong one.

Susan was still at the entrance and she was glancing at the watch from time to time.

This hall was much bigger than she expected. Besides Ruby’s event, there was another performance-oriented event going on. The hall was stuffed with a huge crowd.

Susan had to use fifteen minutes to navigate through the crowd while the actual distance should only take roughly five minutes to reach the washroom.

However, while she was moving in the direction of the washroom, she noticed that Ruby didn’t reappear for some reason! She didn’t see Ruby coming out from the washroom…

Susan was a little worried. Her mind told her that was there something wrong?
