Chapter 1102: I don't like him!

[FLASHBACK]

The young Mint sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her doll tightly. Her lips were curved downward, and her eyes showed sadness.

It had been two weeks since summer break started, but her cousin still hadn't come to visit. She was used to having her cousin come around to spend the summer with her. However, for some reason, her cousin hadn't arrived, and when she would ask her mother, all she would get was the frail reassurance that they would eventually come.

"It's just that there are some things your uncle needs to do," her mother would say.

She hugged her teddy bear tightly, burying half of her face in it. Just as her eyes started to well up, she heard a car screeching outside. Her brows rose, and her ears perked up, frozen in place as she focused all her attention on the outside noise.

"Ahh, that was a long journey..."

The second she heard a man's faint voice, Mint jumped from her bed, tossing her bear onto the bed. Without wasting a second, she rushed to the window. As soon as she saw a black sedan outside, her eyes gleamed, and her mouth parted in joy.

"Ben!" she yelled, pulling up the window as she shouted once more, "Ben!"

The young boy, who had just climbed out of the car, looked up at the sound. The second he saw Mint looking out the window with such relief and a bright smile on her face, his mouth stretched from ear to ear, displaying all his teeth.
