In the following days, Tammy kept using the excuse of buying ice cream to leave the house and secretly meet old master Wright. Each time she returned home, her bag would be full of gifts.
One day, Anna noticed the new toys that Tammy brought home as she was cleaning up the house. She asked, “When did you get this little mermaid bracelet?”
Tammy was arranging her toys and she said nonchalantly, “It came with the ice cream.”
Anna frowned and remarked, “They’re giving toys with ice cream now?”
“Yep. The staff in the cafe all think I’m cute. So, they gave me extra gifts,” Tammy replied with a smug smile.
Anna was suspicious at first. But at the thought that Tammy was a good kid and those were only some toys, she perished her suspicion.
“Oh yes, I’ll take you to the kindergartens nearby to have a look this afternoon, Tammy. See which one you like and I’ll register you.”
Frowning, Tammy asked in puzzlement, “But I’ve made some new friends in the kindergarten. Mommy, what’s wrong with the current one I stayed in?”
“Well, sweetie. The medical facilities of the current kindergarten you’re in don’t meet my expectations. And the infirmary doctors there barely know what to do when you have an asthma attack. You know how dangerous it can be when you have an asthma attack and no one knows how to help you, right?”
“Yeah. Okay,” Lowering her head, Tammy said in a low voice. A while later, her eyes lit up when they walked out of another kindergarten. And she uttered, “Mommy, I want to eat sushi!”.
“Okay, let’s go.” Anna smiled.
Since it was Monday. The Japanese restaurant was quite empty when they arrived there. After entering the restaurant, Anna took Tammy to a table next to the window where they could have a bird’s view of the city. And the two of them stared at each other after ordering the food.
Finally, Tammy broke the ice, suggesting, “Mommy, I think that you can go back to work now.” Heh, heh. Mommy, you should go back to work earlier so that you can have a chance to date Wayne, Tammy said to herself.
“What’s the hurry? I’m still on sick leave. Besides, don’t you wanna stay with me for a few more days, honey?” Anna answered.
“But Mommy, you need to seize the opportunity,” Tammy said.
“Seize what opportunity?” Anna asked curiously.
“To date your boss. He’s handsome, rich, and single. I’m sure many single women at the office are dying to get him. If you don’t work hard to be with your boss, I’ll lose the chance to have a rich and handsome dad forever!”
“What are you talking about?” Pinching Tammy’s nose, Anna felt both amused and shocked. Then she added, “What are you thinking, Tammy? You haven’t met my boss yet. So how did you know he’s handsome?”
While dodging Anna’s hand, Tammy’s eyes suddenly lit up. Then she sprung to her feet and waved at someone at a distance, shouting excitedly, “Sir, over here! Here!”
What? Who is it? Anna turned around and looked in the direction that Tammy was waving. The moment she laid her eyes on the person, her expression froze.
At the entrance of the restaurant was a handsome tall man holding a little boy’s hand. They were both wearing poker faces as they looked at Anna.
Wayne, Matthew?! What are they doing here?! Wait a second. Tammy has never met Wayne. How did she recognize him? What is going on? Strings of questions popped up in Anna’s mind. And she was both confused and surprised.
