Timothy looked at the girl seriously. His expression was so solemn that it scared her.
The old lady, who was right next to them, said, "It looks like you don't know how to make girls happy, young man."
He had been busy at the top of the social ladder his entire life. How would he know how to make a girl or a woman happy?
"I am dense when it comes to this," he admitted helplessly.
"Do you have a daughter?" the old lady asked.
Ginger came to his mind and his features softened. "Yes. She's young but adorable."
He had never liked kids, but Ginger was special to him.
To him, his daughter was the cutest angel that existed in this world, as well as the small ray of sunshine in his life.
Looking at his gentle expression, the girl no longer felt scared.
The little girl asked curiously, "Mister, do you like balloons too? You're a grown-up, not a kid."
"My daughter likes Princess Arulan too, but I want to buy this balloon to make my wife happy. I made her angry. If I can't buy this for her, she won't forgive me," he spoke gently.
He never expected himself to be negotiating with a kid one day.
In the past, he had always perceived kids as the most uncontrollable little creatures in this world.
The girl turned her head, looking in Mia's direction. "Is she that pretty lady over there?"
Noticing the girl's attention on her, Mia felt slightly awkward.
She wondered how Timothy got to start talking to the girl.
After all, the girl didn't seem like she was going to hand over the balloon that easily. Her little hands were holding the balloon string so tightly!
