Shirley quickly retracted her gaze and walked back to her own seat, picked up her bag and said, “Mildred, I’ll bring the kid downstairs for a walk.”
Mildred looked at Shirley who was holding her bag with her left hand, and holding the kid on her right hand. She walked up to Shirley and took her bag from her, picked up her own bag, and said, “Since there’s nothing much for me to do here, I’ll go downstairs with you. Once the kid is ready, you can come back up to talk to your master about old times.”
Shirley gave a light laugh and shot her a grateful look.
Mildred picked up Jacob’s hand, and walked out from Phoenix Restaurant together with Shirley.
Behind Phoenix Restaurant was a food street, there were people there selling sweets.
However, Emma was still crying non-stop.
Jacob felt annoyed looking at her, so he asked for Mildred to carry him.
When Mildred lifted him, Jacob moved next to Emma’s ears and said something in secret to her. Emma immediately stopped crying.
Shirley looked at Jacob curiously, and asked, “Jacob, what did you tell your sister?”
Jacob said, “Mummy, can I not tell you, if I tell you, Emma might start crying again. As long as it can make her stop crying, it’s definitely not something bad.”
His secretive expression tickled Mildred.
“Oh right, you are a little genius who can already console your sister, not bad huh.”
“Aunt Mildred, you can let me down now. Mummy, if you want to go chat with your master, you can go back, I’ll bring Emma around.” Looking like a mature young man, he said thoughtfully.
Shirley stopped in her tracks, raised her hands to wipe away the tears and snort on Emma’s face, and said, “I’ll accompany you to walk around for a bit, Master is still busy in there, he won’t be too fast.”
“Mummy, we don’t need your company, we have Aunt Mildred, you go back quickly.” Emma’s voice was hoarse, and she gave Shirley a light push on her shoulder.
Quick go back and chase away that bad woman, and get daddy back.
Shirley frowned, seeing Emma’s drastic change in behavior, she gazed at Jacob in suspicion, “Jacob, what did you actually tell Emma?”
“Mummy, I really didn’t say anything, do you really want Emma to start crying again? If I say it out loud, she might continue wailing.” Jacob had already come down from Mildred. Standing next to Mildred, with his hands in his pocket, he asked bossily.
Shirley took a look at her daughter in her arms, her wailing situation just now had really given her a headache.
Mildred reached out and took Emma from Shirley’s arms, “Alright, listen to us and go back first, I’ll bring these two fellows for a stroll around the area and be right back soon.”
“Alright, then you guys don’t wander too far. Don’t be naughty you two little fellows, and don’t eat the trash food by the roadside.” Shirley instructed.
The two little fellows agreed simultaneously.
Shirley turned around and walked out of the food street.
She returned to the hall in the second floor of Phoenix Restaurant.
In the big round table were gathered a bunch of wealthy entrepreneurs, she didn’t know what they were discussing, but everyone had a smile on their lips.
Arthur saw Shirley, and waved in her direction. Shirley walked over quickly, and Arthur stood up to introduce her to everyone.
“This is the well-known Dr. Thomas in the industry, if I retire, you guys should be able to put your trust in her.” Arthur looked at the people around him with a friendly smile on his face.
