"I think these two are good. Larry, can I take you in and have a try?"
Madge picked out a set of children's clothing and wanted to hold his little hand after she gently smiled and said that. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Larry dodged her hand, clearly uncooperative.
Seeing this, Madge was neither angry nor discouraged. Instead, she turned back with a smile and continued to pick a few more pieces. It seemed that she had an endless supply of patience. Although she picked a lot, Larry didn't appreciate it at all.
"Miss Gray, I've bought the milk tea!" Madge's driver walked in with a cup of milk tea in his hand.
"Okay." Madge nodded and took it. She bent down again in front of Larry and said confidently, "Larry, see what's this? The milk tea of chocolate flavor. It's the same milk tea as the ones in the hands of those children we saw when we just entered the door. It's even got cheese in it. Take it!"
At that time, Larry looked at the other side and Madge noticed that, so when she saw that he was not very enthusiastic about her, she just ordered the driver to buy milk tea and wanted to use this as an opportunity to make a good impression on him.
Unexpectedly, Larry did not reach out to take the milk tea after seeing it, but turned his face away and continued to put on an act. "It's so sweet. Have a taste. If it's not good, I can change another taste for you!" Madge coaxed him for a long time. "Larry, you really don't wanna drink it?"
Larry was like an old monk who had entered a meditative state.
Madge made a fool of herself, so she had to stand up and handed the milk tea to the person next to her. "Aunt Lee, you drink it!"
"Thank you..." When Aunt Lee was about to take it, she felt a cold look. She immediately withdrew her hand and said awkwardly, "Miss Gray, I guess not. I don't like to drink something sweet!"
Madge kept smiling and had to throw the milk tea to the driver.
Aunt Lee silently squeezed her sweat and became depressed. She only hoped that the shopping part could end soon.
In the underground supermarket, Wendy pushed the shopping cart and shuttled through the rows of shelves with Emily, but she couldn't focus for a long time. The scene she saw when they got off the elevator would always appear in her mind.
Larry was held tightly by Madge, just like a mother and a child...
Clenching her hands on the shopping cart, she actually felt uncomfortable.
Especially when she thought that Larry might like pestering Madge with a soft, just like pestering her. She felt more and more uncomfortable, even though she didn't know why. She originally made a lot of shopping lists in her heart, but in the end, she didn't buy anything. Instead, she took two bundles of noodles and a carton of eggs.
Emily didn't seem to be any better than her either. From time to time, Emily's eyes would become dull as if there was something on her mind.
In less than half an hour, the two of them lined up to pay the bill and went out.
Carrying things, Wendy went up from the escalator and walked out of the mall. When she passed by a children's clothing counter, she couldn't help peeping at it.
Sure enough, Wendy saw Madge bending over in front of the mirror, taking a little shirt and compare it to Larry's body. From time to time, Madge raised her head and talked with the salesgirl with a
smile. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Wendy hurriedly looked away and continued to go out.
When she passed by, Larry, with a straight face, widened his eyes instantly.
Outside the shopping mall was a bustling street, so it was not easy to get a cab. They waited for a long time before finally stopping an empty car. Emily sat in first, and Wendy handed over her things and also prepared to get into the car. Flowever, just as one leg stepped into the car, something pounced on her other leg.
This action was too familiar.
Wendy lowered her head and saw Larry raising his head.
"Wendy-" She was stunned by his soft voice.
She subconsciously looked behind him, and there was no trace of Aunt Lee, let alone Madge. She was surprised by where he came from. She had seen him standing in front of the mirror at the children's clothing counter before.
Wendy bent over and picked Larry up, still in a daze, and she asked, "Larry, why are you here?"
"Hey! Miss! Take your child to get in the car quickly!" The driver in the front turned his head and shouted at her. "We can't stop here for a long time or I'll be fined! Get in!"
Wendy also looked back and found that there was a traffic policeman standing at the intersection.
The driver was rushing her, so she had to get in the car.
As soon as the door closed, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove the taxi into the main road.
Larry was still in her arms, sticking to her like an octopus, and his two small arms were wrapping around her neck. It was so intimate.
Emily was not less surprised than her after seeing Larry, and very curious. "Well, young master! Didn't you have an expectant stepmother to accompany you to go shopping? She would buy you anything, why are you still looking for Wendy?"
Hearing this, Larry pouted and said, "I don't like that woman!"
"Then who do you like?" Emily continued to ask.
Larry glanced at Wendy and shyly said, "I like Wendy-"
Feeling the smooth and soft skin of the child in her arms, Wendy's heart was extremely softened.
Especially when he spat out those three words, she could not help but lower her head and kiss him.
Larry was even more shy. He raised his head and made a mark on her face, and then buried his face in her arms and secretly laughed with his mouth closed.
Noticing the shopping bag beside her feet, Larry reached out his little hand and pointed at it. "Wendy, what did you buy?"
"Some daily necessities, noodles and eggs," Wendy answered.
"I want to eat it!" Larry immediately acted like a spoiled child.
"Okay, then I'll make it for you at home!" Wendy's eyebrows were curved.
Looking at the small figure in her arms, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Larry, you haven't told me yet. Why did you come to me? Does Aunt Lee know about it?"
"I sneaked out!" Larry grinned smugly.
Wendy,"..."
"Wow! you're really something!" Emily exclaimed beside him.
Wendy,"..."
On the other side of the mall, the guard room was in a mess. The security captain lay prone on the table and looked at the surveillance video with the other two staff. From time to time, the walkie- talkie in his hand transmitted the progress of other colleagues looking for someone in real time.
Aunt Lee clasped her hands and paced back and forth in the room. She was worried.
Besides Aunt Lee, Madge's expression was not calm, and she was thinking of a solution. It was not easy to find an opportunity to take Larry out when he was in the Hogg's Mansion. She wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him. She didn't expect the kid to disappear in the middle of picking out a dress. She only hoped that the security guard could do things more efficiently so that she could get Larry back as soon as possible, then she could get out of this.
Suddenly, the door of the guard room was pushed open by someone. Charlie strode in with the car key in his hand. He directly asked, "What's going on?"
