Thompson Miguel nodded.
Then he heard other sounds coming from the phone, intermittent and indistinct, so he couldn’t help but ask:
“What’s that sound?”
Moore Audrey paused, not realizing it at first, and asked back:
“What sound?”
Then there was a two-second silence, followed by the sound of something on her legs. Before he could speak, she had a sudden realization.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she pulled Bobby from her sleep, held her to her chest, and showed her to the camera, asking:
“Is it this?”
A snow-white cat appeared in the camera. The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the cat and the girl in the camera, nodding in his heart, concluding:
Moore Audrey is so fair, blending seamlessly with the cat. It’s just that… with the cat there for comparison, he felt even more like pinching the little girl’s face.
Moore Audrey looked at Thompson Miguel’s face, staring for a few seconds before lowering her eyes. However, she felt that his face seemed even more handsome, and she couldn’t help but softly call out:
“Thompson Miguel…”
Thompson Miguel brought his attention back and hummed in response. Then he heard the little girl suddenly say in a weak, low voice:
“Could you… smile at me?”
Thompson Miguel was taken aback, momentarily unresponsive. After processing the sentence in his mind, he came to his senses.
Looking at the girl who had lowered her eyes, the night was late, the hour was deep, his mind was unclear, and in a moment of impulse, he replied:
“Okay…”
Moore Audrey immediately looked up, her face a mixture of surprise and delight.
Perhaps seeing her surprise, or perhaps genuinely wanting to fulfill her request, the young man felt an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart, overwhelming him, and he smiled faintly.
Moore Audrey was momentarily stunned, thinking:
Thompson Miguel is really, really handsome!
Seeing the girl’s stunned expression as she looked at his smile, his smile deepened slightly, and without concealing it, he called her name with a faint smile:
“Moore Audrey…”
Moore Audrey was dazed by his beauty, and she mumbled a sound.
Then, it was as if she heard the young man’s teasing and seductive voice:
“Shouldn’t you… reciprocate and smile at me?”
Moore Audrey, without thinking, instinctively nodded and made an “oh” sound.
But she didn’t seem to react, still looking at him, her usually sharp mind clouded:
“How do I smile…”
Thompson Miguel chuckled softly:
“Moore Audrey…”
Moore Audrey suddenly came to her senses, her eyes meeting his, which held a hint of a smile. For a moment, she felt that Thompson Miguel was slightly different from usual, yet still the same.
Then, her mind suddenly recalled their conversation, and she immediately dared not look up, her eyes downcast, her face burning.
After a few minutes, she weakly spoke:
“Thompson Miguel…”
The young man replied easily: “Hmm~?”
Moore Audrey still spoke in a muffled voice, her ears completely red:
“Let’s end the call for tonight?”
Thompson Miguel saw her red ears, and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. The little girl couldn’t see it, but his long, narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of a mischievousness rarely seen before:
“No… you haven’t smiled at me yet!”
Moore Audrey’s entire face was now flushed. Her composure… was completely gone.
Yet, when she raised her head in a slightly angry and embarrassed manner, the young man’s expression was unusually serious.
Moore Audrey was startled, feeling something was wrong. Thompson Miguel’s emotions and expressions… didn’t match…
But seeing the young man’s serious expression, the little girl simply gave up and offered him a perfunctory smile, about to hang up.
However, Thompson Miguel seemed determined to tease her today, shaking his head in refusal:
“Your smile is too perfunctory…”
Moore Audrey was truly embarrassed and angry now. She glared at him fiercely and decisively hung up the phone.
After hanging up, she used the phone as a punching bag, throwing it aside. The little girl went to bed, feeling both angry and ashamed.
She vowed to ignore Thompson Miguel for three days!
That poker face was definitely deceiving her! So bad!!!
Moore Audrey was angry, thinking she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but she actually fell asleep in her anger.
While Moore Audrey was feeling ashamed and angry, Thompson Miguel looked at the phone, slightly curving his lips. Thinking of the little girl’s angry and embarrassed expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Moore Audrey was really interesting…
Thinking this, the young man put down his phone and went to sleep.
The next morning, when Moore Audrey woke up in a daze, her mind blank for a while, she suddenly remembered last night’s call.
Staring at the ceiling for a while, the little girl sat up from the bed, raised her hand and slapped her forehead, secretly regretting, how did it end up like that…
But then she thought about Thompson Miguel’s smile, and the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up:
Thompson Miguel’s looks… are truly worthy of being praised to the heavens!!!
After sitting there giggling for a while, hugging her blanket, the little girl got up to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Thompson Miguel got up earlier than Moore Audrey. After finishing his morning run, he came home and met Mrs. Thompson, who was making breakfast.
Mrs. Thompson turned to look at him, surprised:
“You’re up so early today?”
Thompson Miguel looked up at her, calmly:
