Without waiting for the little guy to respond, he went to the small shop by the street. He bought a giant lollipop, but felt that one wasn’t enough to express his current feelings, so he bought another one.
Then he returned with two giant lollipops and handed them to him through the gap in the railing.
Little Tyler: “…”
Would his dad beat him for bringing home such big candy?
Forget it, it didn’t matter; after all, he didn’t buy it himself. The little guy took the lollipops and smiled, saying, “Thank you, Uncle Auntie!”This “Uncle Auntie” made Leon, a real man who fought wits with criminals, feel a bit embarrassed. He tilted his head and said, “You… don’t call me that.” After a pause, he added, “You can call me that when no one is around.”
“Okay.” The little guy replied crisply.
After Thelma got off work and exited the building, she indeed saw Sam Noah’s car parked downstairs. He personally got out of the car to open the door for her.
As soon as Thelma saw him, her heart started racing again, but she was surrounded by a sweet, pink atmosphere. She walked up to him and asked, “How long have you been waiting?”
“Not long.” He said, then took out a bouquet of flowers from the car and handed it to her.
“Wow!” Who wouldn’t be happy to receive flowers? Thelma hurriedly accepted them and then got into the car, asking him, “Why did you suddenly give me flowers?”
Haven’t they been married for over five years? They could be considered an old married couple by now.
“I passed by a flower shop and saw these flowers blooming beautifully, just like you, so I bought them for you.”
“…”
He really knows how to talk! What girl could resist such words from a man like this? Moreover, his tone wasn’t frivolous; it was clearly sincere, so sincere that it made one’s heart flutter.
She couldn’t help but wonder if he had flirted with girls like this before they got married. Just thinking about it made Thelma feel extremely jealous. But then she thought, no matter what, this man is hers now, her husband, belonging to her alone. Thinking this way, she felt reassured.
At that moment, Sam Noah’s phone rang. He took it out, and Thelma saw the name “Josie” on the screen. Sam Noah frowned slightly at the caller ID, and after a moment of silence, he answered the call on speaker.
On the other end, Josie was crying, “Noah, Orion hit me! He actually hit me!”
“Weren’t you going to get a divorce? Why did he hit you again?” Sam Noah asked expressionlessly.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with him. He suddenly came here and hit me. Noah, it hurts so much. I’m really scared being alone in the hospital. I’m in Brackenfield, at the near your house.”
Although she didn’t say it outright, Thelma could tell she wanted Sam Noah to go see her.
“He hit you, but calling me won’t help. Or do you need me to help you call the police?”
“What’s the use of calling the police? The police won’t care about this kind of domestic issue.” Josie sniffed, “Noah, I really feel scared being here alone. Can you come see me, please?”
Her voice sounded aggrieved and pitiful, but Sam Noah showed no sympathy at all, directly saying to her, “Josie, I’ve always thought you were a person who knows how to keep your distance.”
His words clearly contained a warning. Josie fell silent for a moment, then said in a sobbing, pitiful voice, “I understand. I’m sorry, Noah. It was my fault for being so intrusive.”
Sam Noah hung up the phone, but Thelma fell into deep thought. Although it didn’t seem like a big deal for Josie to ask Sam Noah to see her, after all, they all knew each other, and Sam Noah had a good relationship with her family. But Thelma couldn’t help but feel that Josie’s intentions were not pure.
A bit scheming.
Fortunately, Sam Noah didn’t fall for her tricks and was clear in his refusals, not hesitating at all.
Thelma said, “Since Josie is injured, I’ll go see her.”
Sam Noah looked at her, his gaze probing.
“She doesn’t have many relatives in Brackenfield. Her father and brother have a good relationship with you. If you don’t want to go, I can go see her instead.”
Sam Noah smiled, “Alright, if you want to go, then go.”
The two first went to the kindergarten to pick up the child. Thelma noticed that Tyler’s backpack was heavier than before, and she didn’t know what he had inside. Three sticks that looked like sticks were sticking out. She opened his backpack to take a look and saw three ridiculously large lollipops inside, saying, “Why do you have so much candy? Didn’t Dad tell you not to eat too much candy before you lose your baby teeth?”
