She couldn’t even feel jealous.
Windsor Myres’s eyes dimmed a little and nudged Mia Ginger, "They’re looking for you."
Mia Ginger looked helpless and hadn’t yet stepped forward.
The little girl in Louis Cox’s arms dragged her voice and called out again, "Sister Mia, I’ve come with Uncle to find you!"
Now she’s really become the center of attention.
Louis Cox always had a way, even without seeking her out, to force her out of the crowd.
Mia Ginger thought distractedly and waved her hand in their direction.
Seeing her soon, Louis Cox smiled and put the little girl down onto the ground, patting her head and said, "Mission accomplished, go play."
"Huh?" The little girl widened her eyes at him, completely incredulous.
Did she just get dismissed ?
"What huh?" Louis Cox squatted down and pinched her cheek, "Do you remember what I taught you?"
"I remember." The little girl nodded like a pecking chick.
"Uncle!" Maeve turned her eyes curiously and asked, "Do you want the pretty sister to become my Aunt?"
Mia Ginger walked up just in time to hear this last sentence and called out in exasperation, "Louis!"
"Haha!" Louis Cox laughed indifferently, "I didn’t say it."
Mia Ginger approached him gloomily and said helplessly, "Why did you come?"
"What do you think?" Louis Cox straightened up and looked at her seriously, "If I hadn’t come, what would you do? Just let it go and never contact me again?"
Mia Ginger pursed her lips and said nothing.
"I gave you a whole two days and not a single greeting." Louis Cox sighed looking at her, seriously, "Tell me, do you have a heart of stone? We’ve known each other for so many years, even a stone would have some feelings."
"Sorry." Mia Ginger’s gaze fell on his nose, "Are you okay?"
"Uncle’s nose has been bleeding a lot these days!" Little Maeve suddenly widened her eyes and seriously said, looking up, "The Doctor Uncle said his nose almost got crooked! Sister Mia, you must be gentler with your hands in the future, or Uncle’s nose will be crooked and won’t look good."
"..." Mia Ginger looked at her with a chuckle and squatted down with a smile, "Maeve, aren’t you afraid of riding a motorcycle? You came with your uncle."
"Not afraid at all!" Little Maeve scrunching her nose said, "I am the daughter of Cesar Myres and Ivy Cox, fearless of the sky and the earth."
"..." Mia Ginger was speechless.
Louis Cox was obviously amused, he leaned down and pinched her underarm, picking her up.
"Let’s go, let’s go eat."
Mia Ginger walked beside him, a bit absent-minded.
Indeed, these days, she deliberately avoided and didn’t contact Louis Cox.
Now things have escalated to this point, Koa Jackson obviously harbored prejudice against Louis Cox.
She couldn’t explain.
Even more, she was at a loss for words to defend.
Her gratitude, guilt, helplessness, all these emotions related to Louis Cox, she simply could not convey to Koa Jackson.
Given the choice between two, she had to let go of the one that weighed less.
She was already prepared.
Yet Louis Cox appeared once more, different from before, evasively.
Her words couldn’t come out.
