Polly almost wet himself. Was this cat being serious right now?
It flapped its wings desperately, “My boss, I’m wrong! Please forgive me!”
Bellflower revealed a smirk on its face. It was just toying with Polly as it let the bird go for now.
Polly immediately wanted to take off after that scary episode!
However, he was pinned on the table by Bellflower once again.
It was as if Bellflower was looking down on Polly! It was practically telling Polly, You don’t know what true speed is, do you?
Polly screamed, “My liege, please spare me!”
Bellflower was enjoying this. It was waiting for the bird to continue.
Finally, Polly called out, “Dad!”
Bellflower let go of Polly.
However, Polly did not take flight this time. He understood that it wouldn’t work. He pretended to be dead as he lay down motionless.
It was planning to fly off without warning after making sure that Bellflower let down its guard!
Bellflower was staring at it as if knowing what the bird was planning. Bellflower wanted to pin the bird down again if it wanted to fly off. The cat wanted to show the bird what true speed looked like.
The bird and the cat were in a stare-off of some sort. They were trying to catch the moment when either one of them would make the first move.
Ten minutes passed just like that.
It turned into half an hour, and soon, it turned into one hour.
At that moment, Tortoise was slowly crossing a road in the distance. It was enjoying the morning breeze, and it seemed content with its life.
Polly suddenly shouted, “Look, it’s Lilly!”
Bellflower was not fazed. Its eyes were locked in on the bird.
Polly tried again, “Hey, my legs are numb now.”
It did not work. Bellflower did not look away.
Polly was at its wit’s end.
Tortoise was now munching on a piece of prawn that Lilly had given it. It was slowly enjoying its food.
On the other hand, Bryson brought Lilly, Hannah, Josh, and Drake to the playground.
They immediately heard children screaming once they reached the gate.
Lilly, Hannah, and Josh were equally excited. Only Drake had a darkened face as he was frowning.
Josh said, “Drake, if you are not in the mood for this, you should just stay at home. Why do you force yourself to come?”
Lilly chipped in, “What’s the point of doing this?”
Hannah said, “Uncle Bryson should give birth to another child and name him Bellamy! He would have come in your stead!”
Bryson was speechless at those childish words.
Bryson bought the tickets and said to Drake, “If you don’t want to join us, just wait for us in the rest area.”
Drake maintained his cool facade, “Who said that I don’t want to play with you guys?”
Josh suddenly thought of something. He scrolled through his phone and found a video from two years ago.
It was a video about an excursion to the playground, but at that time, only his dad was with the two of them.
In the video, Drake was complaining, “Why are we coming to this kind of place again?”
“I don’t want to be here! This is so childish! Only a three-year-old would want to be here!”
Lilly watched the video and exclaimed, “Is this Drake when he was way smaller?”
Josh replied, “Yeah, he was only seven back then.”
Lilly counted with her fingers and analyzed the situation seriously, “He is now nine years old, so he shouldn’t come here to have fun since he said that only three-year-olds come here.”
Drake was caught off guard by that.
He was embarrassed in front of his own sister!
He felt a fire of rage slowly burning in him. He took out his phone and showed them a video.
In the video, Josh was pretending to refill his glass of water. Drake’s voice could be heard in the background, “If you miss her so much, just look for her.”
Josh immediately refuted, “Who said that I miss her? I am just passing by, alright?”
Drake was speechless.
