No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1859: Hayes Edwards Side Story (16)
Even under the picnic blanket.
But after searching everywhere, she couldn’t find them.
"How could they be missing?"
She patted the little pockets on her clothes, felt them all, but couldn’t find a single piece.
"Hayes Edwards, did you see my strawberry cookies?" She tugged at Hayes Edwards’ clothes.
Hayes looked down, quickly chewed up the cookie in his mouth and swallowed it, then looked up and said, "I didn’t see them."
There were still cookie crumbs at the corner of his mouth.
But Grace Winter didn’t notice.
She was still thinking about her favorite strawberry cookies, pouting a little, feeling a bit down, her round eyes looked at the picnic blanket in front of her, as if she were about to cry.
Startled, Hayes quickly changed the subject, "Maybe Little Fatty ate them!"
"Then I’ll go ask him."
Hayes waved his hand, "Go, go quickly."
Grace got up to find Little Fatty.
Little Fatty was busy getting food and drinks from others. When he heard Grace ask about the strawberry cookies, he shook his head and said, "I didn’t eat them, I’ve been here the whole time."
The other two little boys nodded in agreement.
"It must have been Hayes who sneakily ate them," Little Fatty said convincingly.
Grace then ran back with little steps.
Of course, Hayes wouldn’t admit it, he actually didn’t like strawberry cookies, he just wanted to tease this little follower.
"Maybe your strawberry cookies just ran away on their own."
Grace stared blankly, "How could strawberry cookies run away?"
Hayes made up a story, "Once they grow legs, they run away!"
"Huh?" Grace tilted her head, still puzzled.
Fortunately, someone soon came to invite her to play games, so she didn’t insist on the strawberry cookies anymore.
Hayes breathed a sigh of relief, took out the strawberry cookies he had hidden earlier from his pocket, was about to open the package and put them in his mouth, but then stopped.
"Never mind, I’ll save them for later."
After the game of "Eagle Catching Little Chicks," came another round of games, the effect was much better with more than a dozen kids playing together.
Grace was playing with the older kids, everyone gathered in a circle to play "Drop the Handkerchief."
Even if someone accidentally fell, it was on the soft grass, and no one cried; they just patted their pants and stood back up.
Grace was the same.
Little Fatty, running in front, still remembered what he had said earlier, purposely slowing down so Grace could catch him.
It was the first time Grace caught someone, she laughed so happily, her eyes curved, and there were two small dimples on her cheeks, looking so clean and soft, especially adorable.
Someone pointed out that Little Fatty gave in, but he just smiled and scratched his head, "It’s because Grace is awesome."
Hayes watched from the side, looking sulky.
When someone invited him to join, he didn’t refuse.
When it was his turn to chase Grace in the "Drop the Handkerchief" game, he didn’t hold back at all, ran very fast, and caught up with Grace in just a few steps.
When he returned to his seat, Little Fatty even said to him, "Couldn’t you let Grace win a bit?"
Hayes with a serious face, "Games should be taken seriously."
Little Fatty seemed semi-comprehending, but in the next round of games, he still deliberately let Grace catch him.
Hayes: "..."
Hah!
On the way back, many kids fell asleep on the big bus. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Grace also got sleepy, yawning several times, her head bobbing up and down.
The teacher went over and gently reminded, "Hayes Edwards, hold your sister steady, don’t let her bump her head."
Hayes: "... Got it."
Hearing the voice, Grace suddenly woke up, looking dazed and confused.
