Fifteen minutes later, Freud looked at Crystal, who was eating deliciously, and felt that he should take back what he had said before. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
This little girl… ate a lot.
After eating, Crystal touched her stomach and felt that she could still eat ice cream. She turned to look at Freud and said, “Freud, ice cream!”
Freud said, “Do you want to eat ice cream as soon as you finish your meal? If your stomach hurts, Antony will definitely come looking for me. Let’s go out for a walk to digest the food first.”
He stood up to pay the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Crystal. When he found that Aletta was still following them, he asked in confusion, “Miss Sutton, are you going out for a walk too?”
Aletta gritted her teeth and said, “…I also feel a little bloated.”
Freud was silent for a moment and said, “It’s up to you.”
Not long after they walked out, Freud’s phone rang. It was a video call from Mrs. Duffy. Freud did not think much of it and answered it directly. On the phone screen was Mrs. Duffy’s delicate face. “Freud, I heard from the restaurant owner that you left with a girl about 40 minutes ago. Why didn’t you call me?”
Freud replied, “I’m not full, so I’m going to have another meal.”
Mrs. Duffy said, “Can’t you bear it? Aren’t you afraid that the girl will dislike you for eating too much?”
Freud replied, “She doesn’t dislike me. She’s quite good at eating too.”
Mrs. Duffy was confused.
Freud lowered his phone and said to Crystal, “This is my mom. Say hi to her.”
Crystal replied with an “oh” and greeted obediently, “Hello, Mrs. Duffy.”
When Mrs. Duffy saw Crystal, she felt that something wasn’t quite right. After greeting Crystal, she said to Freud, “The girl that I introduced to you doesn’t look like this.”
“Oh,” said Freud. “You’re talking about her.”
He turned the phone to Aletta, who was struggling to catch up with them in high heels, and said, “She’s there.”
..” Mrs. Duffy was speechless.
Mrs. Duffy said, “Tell me honestly. Do you not like that girl?”
Freud said, “Why are you asking me even though you already know?”
Mrs. Duffy wanted to give the unfilial son a good beating. She asked again, “Then who is that little girl?”
“My sister.” Seeing the sudden change in his mother’s expression, Freud coughed and said, “Mom, calm down. Don’t beat my dad. She is not my father’s illegitimate daughter, but my adopted sister. She’s cute, isn’t she? I’ll bring her back for you to have a look.”
Mrs. Duffy thought about it. Even though the little girl had a hairstyle that was way too trendy, she looked well-behaved. She looked very different from her son, who was unfilial. She said, “She’s much
cuter than you. When she’s free, you can bring her back to show me.”
It took Aletta a lot of effort to catch up with them. When she heard Mrs. Duffy’s words, she was alarmed. “Bring her back to show Mrs. Duffy? Freud is going to take Crystal home to see his parents?”
She knew that there was something wrong with them. How could they be siblings?
Aletta wanted nothing more than to strangle Crystal to death. However, a gentle smile appeared on her face. “Mrs. Duffy, have you had lunch?”
Mrs. Duffy had seen Aletta before. When she heard her voice, she said, “Yes. Oh, Aletta, my son doesn’t know anything. Don’t lower yourself to his level. If he offends you, I’ll help you deal with him.”
Aletta said, “Mr. Duffy is very considerate. Please don’t say that.”
Freud himself was shocked. He sighed and said, “I never thought that one day someone would say that I’m considerate. It seems that you’re good at bluffing.”
Aletta was at a loss for words.
