Crossroads

Chapter 174

As Stephanie excitedly told Molly about the best places to visit in Frostvale, she suddenly heard strange noises from Molly’s end and urgently asked, “What’s going on over there, Molly? Is someone there with you?”

“It’s nothing…” Molly answered, sounding a bit awkward.

She looked up again at the little boy who had suddenly appeared. This five–year–old was dressed in a blue and white sailor–style school uniform, tightly holding a small backpack with his chubby hands. His chubby little face was very handsome.

Molly was enjoying some refreshments at the restaurant when this child suddenly ran towards her, startling her so much that she didn’t know how

to react.

The little boy, seemingly annoyed by her slow reaction, urged in a childish voice, “Scoot over. I want to sit inside

Molly widened her eyes and glared at him. Although she knew he was a rich kid, he was too arrogant. This brat had the nerve to command her!

Noticing how cute and well–put–together the little boy was, Molly patiently asked, “Where are your parents, kid?”

The little boy wriggled his way into the seat, climbed up, and sat properly with his backpack on. He looked as if he had something on his mind as he swung his short legs with a stern expression, clearly not wanting to talk to her.

Molly felt utterly frustrated and thought, ‘Are kids these days really this bold, running up to strangers? Although, I guess we’re not complete strangers. I did end up babysitting this little rascal all night last time!

After considering it for a bit, she reminded herself he was just a five–year–old boy, and she gently asked, “Where…where is your dad?”

The little boy seemed uncomfortable under Molly’s intense gaze and reluctantly replied in a grown–up manner, “He’s not here.”

“I obviously know he’s not here in the restaurant. I’m asking where he is. Tell him to come pick you up immediately,” Molly said, growing frustrated. She then grumbled inwardly, ‘This little brat looked down on me last time, and now he’s still so arrogant. Does he have any manners at

Even though she was grumbling, she noticed that the little boy kept looking toward his right front.
