Chapter 228
Brandon watched with regret, his voice softening involuntarily, "I'm sorry. It's my bad. How about I make it up to you with a new one?"
The little girl, pouting, hesitated as she looked at Brandon, wanting to nod but too cautious to do so. She glanced back toward where she came from, as if looking for someone.
Instinctively, Brandon followed her gaze.
A tall and plump woman was hurrying toward them, the same one he had seen before in Wye City with the girl.
Brandon gave her a once-over.
The woman clearly recognized him too, offered an awkward smile at him, and moved forward to pick up Theresa.
Theresa, feeling wronged, pointed to the broken balloon on the ground, "Balloon's busted."
Brandon looked at the tall, plump woman, "Sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally stepped on the little one's balloon."
The woman smiled, "It's no big deal, just a balloon."
"I just promised her a new balloon," Brandon said, glancing outside, "I remember there's a mall right by the entrance, would it be alright if I take her to pick one out?"
The woman quickly waved her hands, "No need, children forget fast, she'll forget about it soon enough. It's just a balloon, after all."
"To us adults, it's just a balloon, but to a kid, it might be more," Brandon said. "I already made a promise to her."
Brandon then looked at Theresa, the little girl gazing at him with big, hopeful eyes.
"Just a few minutes," Brandon said to the woman, "It won't take long."
"Or if you're worried, feel free to wait here for me, and I'll go get it," Brandon added.
The woman looked at him with a touch of surprise, perhaps unsure why someone as well-dressed as he would go out of their way to buy a balloon for a kid, but after a moment's hesitation, she nodded, "We'll wait here then."
"Alright."
Brandon responded lightly, looking at Theresa, "Theresa, can you wait here for a sec? I will go and get you a balloon, okay?"
He remembered that her name was "Theresa" from asking last time.
Just as Brandon was about to get up, the little girl suddenly grabbed his pant leg in quickly.
Brandon turned back to look at her.
"I... wanna... go... too."
The little girl's voice came out in short bursts, milky and eager, her big watery eyes filled with longing.
Brandon paused, looking at her.
