About half an hour later, Glen leaves the apartment with Anna.
The two of them settled in the Gnome hotel across the street.
?
Even though Jean's promised that he will return to Parma, Glen still hesitates.
Before leaving, he said that he would continue to watch over LA and be back together.
Meanwhile, Chris' room is upstairs.
Merry was holding the medicine box and standing in front of him, wiping the cut on his cheek.
The little girl knelt on the sofa in silence and her eyes were filled with traces of heartache. She takes cotton and a few drops of Iodophor and asks, "Brother, are you injured anywhere else? Does your heart hurt?"
She was very worried about Chris while feeling depressed and angry.
"No pain, it's just a minor wound." At this time, Chris leaned back on the armrest of the sofa, folded his legs and looked comfortable.
Even though he looked worried about his wound, the little girl clearly loved him.
Maybe he was very excited. As soon as he finished speaking, Chris pulled a cut on the corner of his mouth, which made Merry frown.
Merry took the cotton and wiped his face again. She muttered to herself. "When you come out later, you better let them follow."
Earlier, they just wanted a hot pot dinner. The bodyguards assigned to guard Merry didn't come with them. Of course, Chris wouldn't be hurt like that if they had followed.
However, Chris thought sideways and squinted. "What's the point? I didn't hear Jean say the man was a boxing champion, and Clifford is useless."
Merry looked at him with one eye, her pouting mouth did not speak.
The atmosphere is a little awkward.
After she wiped the wound for Chris, she lowered her head and carried the iodophor back to the medicine cabinet.
Then she sat beside him and said nothing.
Chris touched the corner of his mouth and glared at Merry's silent gaze. He couldn't see whether the little girl was happy or not. His eyes then glanced at the large suitcase in the living room.
He coughed, and before speaking, Merry looked at him anxiously. "What's the matter? Do you feel sick anywhere?"
Chris' heart was very soft.
He wanted to reach out and hug her for a bit, but he held back and said while pointing at the suitcase, "Go and open it!"
Merry took her gaze back to see, then she walked leisurely towards the briefcase.
Her little figure stood in front of the suitcase, crouched on the floor and shrank into a small ball. After pressing it twice, she couldn't open it.
"Brother, is there a password?"
Chris thought for a while and tried, "Try 110!"
Merry fiddled with it and managed to open it. She half squatted to open the suitcase, and her eyes were immediately filled with colorful dolls.
The little girl opened her mouth and saw dolls of different sizes inside. But her eyes were glued at the big pink rabbit in the center.
She took it by the ears and rubbed them twice. She crouched on the floor and held the doll in her arms. "Brother, how do you know I like bunnies? So soft!"
For a moment, Chris stared at her satisfied face, and lifted his chin toward the trunk. "Look to the other side."
Merry happily put the rabbit in her arms, opened the other side of the trunk, and was still muttering. "Are there any other cute bunnies?"
However, when the zipper of the suitcase was opened, she saw a different scene.
What are these foods?!
The little girl could clearly see that all the food was put into a vacuum containment.
Big grilled chicken, grilled ribs, matcha cake, chicken wings…. Merry saw the food she used to love so much back in her origin country.
Then she took the chicken wing and sniffed it.
After putting it down, the little girl rummaged through the case again. She didn't speak, so she continued to squat on the floor, holding the rabbit doll while looking at the food.
Chris was still sitting on the sofa waiting for Merry to give him a loving hug.
However, after waiting for a while, he heard the sound of crying instead.
Chris' face immediately changed, he got up and walked over to Merry.
He stroked his head with his index finger. "What are you crying about?"
"I'm not crying!" The little girl buried her face in the rabbit doll.
Chris was helpless, he almost bent over and pulled her, but Merry suddenly got up and immediately ran into his arms.
Unfortunately, she was moving so fast that the top of her head hit his jaw, and so the corner of his mouth hurt again.
Chris took a step back and said, "There's no need to cry."
Luckily, she was fast enough to hide her pain and acted like it was nothing.
She had a rabbit doll in one hand and Chris' waist in the other. She rubbed her cheeks against the fluffy bunny doll and her voice was soft and mute as she said, "Thank you. You are very kind!"
He brought her favorite doll and food.
Even though vacuum packaging couldn't keep it fresh, Merry thought it was still delicious.
Not long after, her gaze fell at the Sky Garden restaurant in the upper right corner of the street.
The restaurant's food is the best.
Merry's sudden hug made Chris feel good.
He put his arm around her bony shoulder and patted it softly. "If you know that I am a good person, don't make me angry!"
In particular, don't try to play with others!
The little girl nodded slyly in his arms, then she pushed Chris away and leaned forward to close the trunk again.
"Why?" Seeing this scene, Chris became confused.
Merry, holding the rabbit in her hand, pulled the suitcase and went to the door. "I'll put all these rabbits in my bed first!"
Chris was speechless. 'I'm not as attractive as that stuffed bunny?!'
...
The next day, it was eight in the morning.
Lilia woke up to her cell phone's constant vibrations.
Though feeling sleepy, she pulled out her cell phone under her pillow and saw four messages.
As she unlocked the screen, two more messages appeared.
Merry: Sister, are you awake?
Merry: Sister, come to my room and let's have breakfast together!
Merry: I've bought your favorite fried dough sticks and bread.
Merry: [Don't ignore me. JPG]
Merry: [cracked heart. JPG]
Lilia saw the contents of the message and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She rubbed her sore eyes. Even though she had jet lag yesterday, she's still not used to this time difference.
Sitting up from the bed, she subconsciously looked to her side, but she couldn't see Jean's figure anywhere.
Lilia touched the bed sheet, it felt cold.
It's only past eight in the morning. Why did that man wake up so early?!
Lilia came out of the bedroom still wearing pajamas. When she had just opened the door, she heard a voice in the living room.
"After the new year, I'll be back." When she looked up at him, she saw the man in gray pajamas sitting in front of the sofa talking on the phone.
Lilia walked over and lay on the sofa, staring at him.
Outside the window, the sun was still dim, not as bright as yesterday. Subtle rays of light reflected on her cheeks, and her facial features were full of grace.
When the man waved at her, Lilia walked over and sat on the sofa beside him. Naturally, she leaned against him and asked, "Who is that?"
