The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 42: Strolling Through the Night Market
Day after tomorrow she has to go to Arkenfall, and getting Leo’s approval is certainly the best thing.
"Finish visiting Bexley first, and later I’ll take you to Arkenfall, okay?"
Leo hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke up.
He doesn’t want to return to Arkenfall just yet.
Holly blinked and lowered her head slightly, "But brother, I have already made plans with my classmates." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Holly spoke with an innocent expression, her eyes shimmering with hopeful light.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Diana Curtis, inviting her to go to Arkenfall together tomorrow.
"Made plans?"
Leo asked.
The little girl made friends after going to school, and is having a great time.
Holly nodded.
"Alright, no problem going by yourself, right?"
Leo also let out a sigh. The little girl has arranged to go with friends; how could he stop her?
It’s indeed a good thing for the little girl to have good friends.
Holly nodded: "Sure."
After breakfast, Holly followed Leo to the company; while Leo worked, she sat and played in the office.
People in the company gradually became aware of Holly, knowing that there’s always a soft and cuddly young girl accompanying their president. The young girl speaks gently and softly, loves laughing, and is very pretty.
Holly sat in Leo’s office, texting Diana Curtis while Leo reviewed some documents beside her.
Hmm, she just wanted to wait for the evening snack time now.
"Holly, hungry?"
Leo raised his head, glanced at Holly, and slowly asked.
The young girl has been in the office all day, according to her usual habits, she should be hungry.
Holly rubbed her stomach and said: "A bit."
"What do you want to eat?"
Leo asked.
"Something simple, saving the stomach for tonight’s food."
Holly blinked, speaking innocently.
She was really fixated on the evening snack, not having much interest in food at the moment, just feeling a bit hungry.
Leo nodded: "Okay, I’ll order takeout."
"Brother, I’m going to the bathroom."
A call came to Holly’s phone; she glanced at it and said, then walked out.
Her phone was on silent, so there was no sound.
After leaving the office, Holly went directly into the restroom and answered the call.
"Speak quickly."
Holly’s voice was slightly cold.
"Boss, when are you coming back?"
The voice on the other end was respectful.
"Tomorrow. If nothing else, I’ll hang up."
Holly said a few simple words and ended the call.
She frowned, her expression slightly cold.
"Miss Sawyer, you..."
Someone entered the restroom at that time, seeing Holly’s expression and froze, calling out.
"Hello."
A sweet smile appeared on Holly’s face as she greeted softly; her voice was also gentle.
"Hello..."
The woman, seeing Holly’s sweet smile, froze for a moment, slightly confused.
She seemed to have seen a cold expression on Holly’s face just now, one she had never seen before.
Having seen Holly many times, the little girl always smiled sweetly, her face always held a smile, and her voice was soft and gentle, making her seem incredibly approachable.
After greeting the woman, Holly went out, still with a smile on her face.
The woman watched Holly go out, patted her own head, "I definitely saw it wrong, the girl smiles so sweetly."
Yes, the girl smiles so sweetly, how could her face possibly show a cold expression?
——
The night market street is lively at night; Leo and Holly walked in, and Holly immediately became excited, her face beaming with a smile.
There were lots of tasty foods everywhere making her heart race.
"Brother, I want to eat sausage."
"Brother, I want to eat skewers."
"Brother, I want to eat spicy hotpot."
"Brother, I want to eat stinky tofu."
"Brother, I want to eat..."
Holly basically wanted to eat whatever she saw along the way, her little mouth was stuffed full, and her face beamed with satisfaction.
As she walked and ate, Leo clearly became a tool, a tool for holding things.
But he was quite happy about it, seeing the little girl so happy made him feel content too.
He hoped the little girl’s face would always be filled with such a smile and hoped he could maintain that smile on her face.
"Silly girl, are you full?"
Watching Holly’s mouth move like a hamster’s, Leo slightly curled his lips, his voice extremely gentle.
The little girl really ate a lot along the way, buying things nonstop, her small mouth kept moving.
Leo was quite curious, the little girl was so small, yet she could eat so much without gaining weight.
"No, but I’m a bit tired now."
From the street’s beginning to its end, Holly indeed felt a bit tired. She rubbed her legs.
She’s usually a lazy person who doesn’t like walking; always someone who sits if she doesn’t have to stand, lies down if she doesn’t have to sit, just the lazy kind.
"Let’s go sit over there."
Over there is a milk tea shop, not many customers, only a few students sitting inside.
"Okay."
Holly nodded.
In the shop, Leo ordered Holly a strawberry milkshake. Holly kept eating, her mouth puffed up.
"Can you still drink milk tea?"
Leo placed the strawberry milkshake in front of Holly and slowly asked.
Watching the little girl’s puffed-up face, Leo suddenly felt a bit concerned; the little girl had eaten so much, surely she wouldn’t feel too full?
"Yes."
Holly swallowed the food in her mouth and took a big sip of the milkshake Leo had helped put the straw in.
The milk tea tasted sweet and was quite delicious.
"Brother, why aren’t you eating anything?"
Holly raised her eyes and glanced at Leo, who had been a tool throughout and asked, blinking.
Leo had helped hold things and watched her eat along the way, without eating anything himself.
"Brother’s not hungry, Holly eats."
Leo gently rubbed the little girl’s head, his voice soft and tender.
The little girl eating is truly adorable; he loves watching her eat.
Dusk gradually grew darker; it was already midnight. Leo urged Holly to go home to sleep as it was very late.
Holly happily closed her eyes and went home obediently with Leo, she had to go to Arkenfall tomorrow, getting up early was necessary.
