"Look how protective you are. Your thinking is still a little too conservative."
"What is wrong with being conservative? You are not married and have children. You will know when you d o. Whether it is a boy or a girl, they must receive proper teaching of conduct."
Immediately afterwards, those men at the table started to discuss parenting. Summer was genuinely impressed.
They knew not only how to solve crimes but also a thing or two about parenting, and they all talked like experts.
Charlotte poked out her little pink tongue to lick the strawberry cake in front of her, while her two little hands were busily unpacking the present box.
There were so many presents, all for Uncle Dean. Well, Uncle Dean said, as long as those presents were his, they were all Charlotte's.
But when Charlotte finished unpacking them, she looked at those leather shoes, ties, belt, and wallet in disappointment. There was not a single piece of candy.
They ate and chatted for a long time. At the end of the
day, everyone said their goodbye to one another and left.
There were only the three of them in the private box. Men were still men. Except for Charlotte, they basically did not touch the strawberry cake.
Before Summer got up, Charlotte stood up on the chair, grabbed the strawberry cake and struggled to hold it with her short arms.
"What are you doing, Charlotte?" Summer asked.
Charlotte did not look up, but licked her cream-stained lips like a cat licking its lips. "Mummy, since those uncles didn't eat it, I will take it back and eat it myself."
Summer laughed, pinching Charlotte's rounded cheek.
"You may have it all."
