He looked at me somewhat bewildered, “Teething period?”
I nodded, “From about six to twelve years old, baby teeth naturally fall out and permanent teeth grow
in. Don’t you remember? When I lost a tooth as a child, I would throw it under the bed or on the roof.
My mom thought it was unsanitary to throw it under the bed because she was a clean freak. So later,
every time I lost a tooth, my dad would collect it. Every year in April, when we went home for the
Qingming Festival to honor our ancestors, he would take them back and throw them on the roof of our
old house.”
Thinking back to my childhood, I felt somewhat dazed, as if those days had long passed. The memory
of my father’s towering figure seemed to have faded, and now, it seemed as if I was about to forget
even his voice and face.
A wave of sadness surged through my nose, I lowered my head and took a bite of food, suppressing it
faintly.
A moment later, when she looked up at Daniel, she saw that he still seemed utterly clueless. She
couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tell me, you
ess. She cou really don’t remember anything from when you were a child?”
He nodded, his gaze particularly serious as he said, “I didn’t have a childhood.”
I was taken aback, not understanding, “No childhood? Did you just grow up suddenly?” After saying
that. I hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Were your parents very strict with you when you
were young?”
He shook his head, his gaze calm, “I am an orphan. As far as I can

remember, I only knew I had to fight to survive.”
A pang of sorrow hit me. For a moment, I hadn’t expected his answer to be like this, truly hadn’t
expected it to be like this. I thought he had never eaten cotton candy because of his strict parents. Now
it seems, it was because… his childhood, perhaps, was in a completely different living environment
from mine.
I didn’t have a habit of prying into others’ wounds, yet I couldn’t help but feel some sympathy and
softness for him in my heart.
Afraid that he would notice my sympathy for him, I forced a smile and pushed the food towards him, Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
saying, “How about we go for a walk after we finish eating?”
His expression was serene, devoid of any emotion, he nodded slightly.
I was not good at chatting. I originally planned to talk with him about interesting things from our
childhood, but unintentionally learned about his childhood experiences, so it didn’t seem appropriate to
continue the conversation.
So, during mealtime, we inexplicably quieted down. The noise from downstairs outside the window was
gone, probably because the police had come to resolve it.
After finishing the meal, there was still plenty of time. I got up to pay the bill. Daniel, sitting in his
wheelchair, was about to speak. Knowing what he was going to say, I smiled and said, “I know you’re
very rich, but we agreed when we came out that I would treat you to dinner. So, all you need to do
tonight is to eat at ease. I’ve got everything covered.”
He chuckled slightly, his handsome features becoming even more attractive as he nodded subtly.
After settling the bill at the front desk, I turned around intending to go back and push Daniel, but a voice
stopped me, “Tabatha.”

The voice sounded somewhat familiar. I glanced sideways and saw two people who had just come out
of the private room, Emma and William. It was Emma who had called me.
Seeing the two, I was somewhat surprised, smiling at them, “Brother, sister-in-law.”
William gave a slight nod, without uttering a word.
It was Emma, who looked at me and asked, “Did you come to eat alone?”
I shook my head, gave a faint smile, “With a friend.”
Seeing that I had run into someone I knew, Daniel maneuvered his wheelchair over by himself. He
glanced at Emma and William, then turned to me and asked, “Friend?”
I nodded, originally having nothing to say, and had no intention of chatting with Emma William. Looking
at the two of them, I said, “Brother, sister-in-law, we have other things to do, see you another day.”
After speaking. I pushed Daniel out of the restaurant. However, we had barely taken a few steps when
Emma chased after us, “Tabatha.”
Seeing her come out, I was somewhat surprised and smiled lightly, saying, “What’s the matter? Sister-
in-law.”
Looking at Daniel, Emma hesitated for a few seconds, then turned to me and said, “Tabatha, can I talk
to you alone? It won’t take long, just five minutes will do.”
Seeing her looking as if she was in a hurry, I gave a slight nod and said. to Daniel, “Could you wait for
me for a moment?”
Daniel nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here.”

Seeing this, Emma pulled me aside, stopping about ten meters away from Daniel. She looked at me
and said, “Tabatha, I know you and Walter are divorced. It’s not appropriate for me to bring this up now,
but I know Walter cares about you. There are some things that he will definitely listen to if you say
them.”
