"They still suspected her good intentions..."
"Are you people serious?"
The old lady was furious.
"If there are more people like you, who will be kind in the future?"
"You'd rather see the child drenched like a drowned rat and running home through the rain..."
"That way, you'd feel at ease, right?"
The old lady launched into a tirade, leaving the child's parents completely dumbfounded.
Child's Mom tried several times to speak, but she never managed to get a word in.
At long last, after the old lady finished speaking, Child's Mom paused before saying, "That's not what we meant..."
The shock and fear in her eyes drowned out the thoughts the child lacked.
Seeing that her point had been made, the old lady did not press them further.
His face was deathly pale.
"Good, then, if that's not what you meant."
You also had no idea how to explain things to them.
"Pat... pat..."
After lying down, the child silently took several deep breaths.
The red eyes vanished from before the child's eyes.
Good children were supposed to go to bed early and rest.
"I hope it suits your taste."
Xiao Xiao's brows and eyes curved faintly.
The more the old lady looked at the young man, the more she liked him.
He took a piece of nougat from the bag and held it up.
"My granddaughter loves these."
"I know."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Lele can eat them too."
The old lady stood at the doorway, watching the young man's figure disappear into the curtain of rain.
The child's face was ashen.
Perhaps he would dream of the contents of his fairy-tale book that night...
He was also afraid that his parents would be unhappy.
He really did not like that nougat.
