Nicole parked the car.
Julie had already walked into the French restaurant.
She had not noticed anything wrong yet.
She just felt that it was quiet and elegant, which was decent compared to other high-end restaurants.
“Hello, may I know how many people will be dining today?”
“Two.”
“This way please.”
The waiter guided them to a table behind the divider.
Julie inadvertently saw two familiar people.
Kira knew that one of these two children belonged to Clayton.
Clayton pampered the cute little girl and gave her everything she asked for. He even spoke to her gently and would not raise his voice at her.
This little girl was really cute and tender. She inherited all the advantages of her parents.
She had big eyes and long eyelashes. Her dark eyes were glimmering, and she had two small dimples when he smiled. She looked so sweet and pretty that it made people’s hearts melt.
Clayton had to treat his leg with electromagnetic therapy for 40 minutes to an hour every day. He brought the equipment from abroad and placed it in his room.
He could do it himself without any help.
However, he had delayed treatment for several hours because of Chatty and Fischer. Thus, his face was a little gray, but he still insisted on playing with the two children.
Kira could not bear to watch him suffer, so she volunteered to watch the children.
Clayton pondered for a while and agreed.
“You don’t need to mind them or coax them. Just watch them and make sure they don’t get hurt.”
Kira nodded.
Clayton touched Chatty’s face.
“Wait here for Daddy. Daddy will come back soon.”
Chatty was engrossed by the fountain and was playing with the little goldfish inside. Thus, she readily agreed.
Fischer patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Daddy! I’ll watch her!”
Clayton nodded with a satisfied smile.
Then, he stood up with difficulty. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he limped away.
Kira tried to talk to the children, but they were so immersed in their own world that they ignored her.
Kira suddenly had an idea to establish a good relationship with Clayton’s daughter.
For some reason, Kira wanted to get close to everything about Clayton.
“Kids, do you want to go out and play?”
If Clayton saw that she was having a good time with his daughter when he came downstairs, he would not kick her out so soon.
Fischer looked at her seriously.
“Auntie, Daddy won’t let us go out to play. He told you earlier not to coax us!”
Chatty was holding onto the goldfish’s tail and laughing non-stop. She immediately echoed Fischer’s words.
“Yes, Daddy said to be obedient!”
Kira paused. Her eyes flickered when she saw the candy on the table next to her that was for the customers.
She grabbed a handful, took it over, and asked with a smile, “Then, do you want candy?”
Chatty’s attention was immediately attracted.
Fischer gulped and opened his eyes wide.
Kira knew at a glance that she made the right move. Kids this age, especially if they were in a home with a strict upbringing, could not eat candy as they pleased.
She immediately unwrapped a piece of candy and placed it near Chatty’s mouth to tempt her.
“Open your mouth. I won’t tell anyone...”
Chatty blinked her big eyes and tentatively licked the candy with the tip of her tongue. Her eyes lit up instantly.
She quickly stuffed the bite-sized candy into her mouth, which bulged like a little squirrel.
At this moment, someone at the door suddenly ran over.
“What are you feeding her?”
Julie watched in shock.
