Looking at the scene in front of him, Brettley frowned slightly.
After breakfast, Nellie jumped down from her little chair,
“I’m going back to my room!
“ With that, the little girl hopped up the stairs. Bethan sat on her chair, looking at the little girl’s pony tail swaying from side to side as she mounted the stairs, and shook her head helplessly. She was still a child after all, her emotions coming and going, like a storm.
Judging from her expression, she seemed to have forgotten the events of yesterday. After a moment, she stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
“Wait.“ The moment she stood up; Brettley called out to her. Bethan looked at him,
“Mr. Morrison, do you have something to say?“
“Yes.“ Brettley cleared his throat,
“I want to cook for Nellie.“
He still remembered the words the little boy said last night.
“If my real father would appear suddenly, I hope he’d cook me some delicious food, pick out my outfit and tell me bedtime stories.“
Even though boys and girls were different, for Nellie, he had to at least try. It had been almost a week since Nellie returned to him, and he had never given her a gift, nor had he done anything for her. He ought to make it up for her, for the events that conspired yesterday. Bethan gave him a startled look,
“You… want to cook for Nellie?”
The man nodded silently,
“I can’t?”
“Of course, you can.”
She stopped, turned and went into the kitchen,
“I will teach you how to make tomato scrambled eggs.”
Simple and delicious, Nellie loved it too. With her knowledge of Brettley, she really couldn’t expect him to learn how to cook complicated dishes.
“Of course.”
The man got up and followed her into the kitchen. Brettley was too tall and broad for the small kitchen. As soon as he came in, it became a little difficult for Bethan to breathe. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind and opened the refrigerator. There were no tomatoes or eggs in the refrigerator. Bethan shrugged,
“I ’11 go grocery shopping first, I’ll teach you later.”
With that, she turned and walked out the door. When she stepped out the door, she realized that Brettley had followed her.
“Let’s go together.”
He took out his car keys and walked towards the car,
“I have to buy something else for Nellie, you can give me some opinions.”
Bethan had no choice but to go with him. The two went to the wet market to buy vegetables first. Bethan pushed the shopping cart and followed behind Brettley. The two of them had just taken a few steps before they ran into two people, an adult and a young child. At that moment, Anne was pushing a shopping cart while Neil was sitting inside the shopping cart like a little adult. The two of them were arguing,
“We’ll be eating chicken for lunch! Your godmother, I, make the best chicken!“
“No! We’ve been eating chicken every day, no matter how delicious it is, I’ve had enough! And your chicken is not that delicious either!
“
“I’ll cook it differently today…”
Anne was in the middle of persuading the boy when suddenly, she noticed that the little guy in the shopping cart had stopped talking. She came back to her senses, and took a closer look–The woman standing next to Brettley…
“Bethan!?”
“Miss Zimmer.”
Bethan winked at Anne, deliberately greeting her as if they were merely acquaintances,
“You’re out shopping too?”
Anne frowned, just about to speak, when Brettley, who was standing opposite her, glanced at Neil slightly,
“We meet again.”
In front of Bethan, Neil didn’t dare to say anything, and could only smile at him in embarrassment, ”
Yes, we meet again.”
Anne was shocked and speechless. What was going on?
Bethan was so close with someone like Brettley Morrison? And Neil knew Brettley too? She smiled awkwardly,
“Well, it looks like everyone knows each other…”
“Hello.”
Brettley only noticed the woman pushing Neil in the shopping cart,
“Are you this child’s mother?”
Anne,
“???”
The child’s mother was right beside him!
“She’s not my mother, she is my godmother.”
Neil spoke up and interrupted him,
“My mother is busy working part-time and has no time to take care of me, so I have been living with my godmother recently.”
The little boy’s words made Anne swallow back what she was about to say. She coughed slightly, exchanged a few pleasantries with Bethan, and then pushed Neil away in a hurry. Brettley kept watching Anne and Neil until they disappeared out of sight before turning around.
“How did you meet such a young child?”
Bethan pushed the shopping cart, faking casual nonchalance.
“That kid saved you and Nellie yesterday.”
