Chapter 201 - 201: 201: Rose Howell, don’t cry!
Translator: 549690339
Wyndham Howell didn’t expect that she would reject him, and for this particular reason, he was taken aback. But he was, after all, mature and stable. Only staying surprised for a moment, he quickly recovered, and politely said, “I apologize for my oversight. You haven’t seen each other for two days, so you must want to talk alone. That’s alright, we can make plans some other time.”
Tobias’s beautiful phoenix eyes twitched, but he didn’t say anything. Last time
Enna had discussed Wyndham Howell at length with him; now, realizing that Wyndham wouldn’t become his stepfather, he definitely wouldn’t help an outsider.
Enna didn’t want to make things awkward for him, so she nodded, “Mhm.”
Wyndham Howell gently looked at her, then took Rose’s hand, “Rose, let’s go home.”
Rose had been watching Enna closely with her round eyes. Only when she heard her dad say they were going home did she react, looking up and asking, “Isn’t Brother Tobias coming with us?”
“Brother Tobias is going home with Mom, but he’ll be with us another time.” Facing Rose, Wyndham Howell was even softer than usual.
Rose pouted, her apple cheeks furrowing pitifully. Hearing that Tobias wouldn’t be going home with her, her big eyes quickly filled with fog, and she looked like she was about to start crying…
Tobias suddenly snapped, “Rose Howell, don’t cry!”
“Uh…” The frightened little girl immediately pursed her lips, suppressing her sobs. Sniffling and trying to keep her tears at bay, her reddened nose made her look pitiful. Even so, she apologized quietly, “1…1 won’t cry anymore.”
Feeling sorry for her, Enna shot him a glare before squatting down and placing her hands on Rose’s shoulders, whispering, “Don’t cry, Rose. Auntie will scold Brother Tobias for you later…”
“No.” Rose opened her eyes wide, immediately grabbing Enna’s clothes and stuttering, “Auntie, don’t scold Brother Tobias. It’s Rose’s fault. I shouldn’t cry. I won’t cry anymore, really…”
As she spoke, she sniffled heavily twice to prove that she wouldn’t cry anymore.
Tobias looked disdainfully at her unladylike actions, pursing his lips without saying a word. He fished a grass-woven dragonfly out of his school bag and rudely shoved it into her palm, scolding her, “Take this. Don’t cry at the drop of a hat next time.”
Rose’s eyes lit up in an instant, and she clutched the grass-woven dragonfly to her chest, afraid he would change his mind. Her watery eyes dried up, and although her nose was still red, she broke into a grin. With a hint of a sob in her voice, she asked excitedly, “Is Brother Tobias giving this to me?”
“You go from crying to laughing like a puppy taking a leak.” He frowned but still glanced at the little girl who oscillated between laughter and tears, saying, “If I don’t give it to you, will you give it back?”
“No.” Rose was very honest.
The little guy stuck his hands in his pockets, looking cool and indifferent as he shot her an impatient glance, “Then that settles it.”
Seemingly oblivious to his sarcasm, Rose grinned and beamed like a sunflower, curling her brows and opening her eyes wide. She exclaimed loudly, “Thank you, Brother Tobias! I will cherish it!”
It was just a grass-woven dragonfly, who asked her to cherish it? What an idiot that Rose!
Enna found the little guy beside her both annoying and funny, and she shot him a reproachful glance.. Reaching out, she patted the top of Rose’s head and smiled comfortingly, “Rose, you’re starting kindergarten tomorrow, right?”
