When Lily finished cleaning up her daughter, the family prepared to change clothes and go downstairs for breakfast.
On the way to the dining hall, they met Alan who was walking downstairs alone.
He did not seem to have had a good rest. His handsome face had a look of weariness. He leaned on the elevator wall and looked at Edwards Wayne enviously.
"Come and have a smoke with me!" Alan's current mood was really hard to describe with a single sentence. He desperately needed to find someone to comfort him.
Edwards Wayne said to Lily: "Take the children to the dining room first. Larry is ready there. I'll come over for a while."
"Daddy, Uncle Alan, smoking not good for health! Do not smoke too much. " Emma immediately said like a grown-up.
Alan patted her cute little head: "Alright, We'll just smoke one cigarette!"
Lily brought the children to the dining hall, while Edwards Wayne followed Alan and walked towards the smoking area.
"Did Anne sleep with you last night?" Edwards Wayne looked at his good friend and asked worriedly when he found out that he was not in a good mood.
"If I told you I slept on the couch all night. Do you believe it?" Alan laughed at himself.
Edwards Wayne was slightly startled, and then he remembered that when Alan only asked for a room with one bed.
"Why not!" Edwards Wayne wanted to say that he had slept on the floor the whole night, but he knew no one would believe him.
Reaching the smoking area, Alan passed a cigarette to Edwards Wayne: "Your daughter already knows how to care about you at such a young age. You sure are lucky!"
Edwards Wayne's thin lips couldn't hide his happiness: "That's right. Previously, I felt children are too noisy and difficult to get along with, but now I have changed my mind. Having children is truly a very happy thing. You don't even know that it's a good thing to be made a ruckus by them."
"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, we would both have children. Should the world change too quickly, or should we change too quickly?" Alan took a deep breath fiercely. The light greenish white smoke seemed to have comforted the dry feeling in his heart.
He lowered his head and laughed at himself: "Anne only wants me to be the one who supports children. She doesn't seem to be willing to date me anymore!"
Edwards Wayne looked at him in shock: "How did this happen? Weren't you in love with her before?"
"I also thought that our relationship hadn't changed, but it wasn't until yesterday that I knew what had happened between us." On Alan's handsome face floated a self -deprecating look.
"What's wrong with you two?" Edwards Wayne slowly exhaled as he squinted his eyes.
Alan maintained his self - deprecating expression, "Do you remember what kind of person my mother is?!"
"Your mother is a real courtly lady!" It was unknown if Edwards Wayne's words were a compliment or a derogatory one.
Alan was not angry, but instead agreed with his point of view. "She might think that she is a daughter of the imperial family and is born to be superior to others!"
Edwards Wayne knew Alan's mother. She was born in the imperial family and had been raised as a princess since she was young.
However, Edwards Wayne knew that Alan and his sister were extremely helpless towards such a mother who had high requirements for living and was even fastidious.
"What's wrong? Is your mother in your way? " Edwards Wayne guessed.
