Chapter 885: Your Sister Is River Swanson?

Natalie assumed he would use his status as a child to make an unreasonable request, so she prepared herself for his answer.

Poppy Swanson stayed silent for a moment, pressing his lips together. His small fingers pinched the fabric of his clothes as he fidgeted nervously. "Then... I only want one thing." Natalie's eyes softened with amusement. His serious demeanor was so endearing that she couldn't resist pinching his chubby little cheeks as she waited for him to continue.

Poppy Swanson, with an earnest expression, said, "I want you to help me find my sister. She said she was just going to the restroom and would come back soon, so I waited. But she didn't come back. I even went to wait outside the restroom, but when I returned, she still wasn't there."

He lowered his head, his small mouth pouting involuntarily. His expression was full of grievance.

Natalie quickly guessed the truth. "Your sister's name is River Swanson?"

Poppy Swanson nodded, his eyes lighting up like stars. "You've seen my sister?"

Natalie fell silent. She couldn't very well tell him that she had thrown his sister out. How could River Swanson leave her little brother behind like this? Natalie could only admire her nerve.

Feeling helpless, Natalie had no choice but to notify the Swanson family to come and pick up the little boy. It would take some time for them to arrive. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table and patted Poppy Swanson's head. "Yes, I've seen your sister. She told me she had something urgent to take care of and left, but she said someone would come to pick you up tonight. While we wait, why don't I grant you a second wish?"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Poppy Swanson's eyes, but when he heard about a second wish, his small pout softened, and a trace of anticipation emerged. "I want to see fireflies."

Natalie paused again. Her hand reached out to stroke his soft hair, gently ruffling it. "Alright, I'll take you to see fireflies!"

Poppy Swanson's eyes lit up with fireworks, his chubby face glowing with joy. Without hesitation, his small hand grabbed Natalie's, his bright eyes blinking at her with excitement. Natalie's heart softened. She couldn't resist how adorable he was and began leading him outside.
