Pepita lay down in the princess-style cradle, dressed in pink clothes. When Kennedy hugged her, she suddenly stopped crying and opened her clear eyes looking at Kennedy curiously.
Kennedy was irate at first, the sadness in his heart also disappeared a little after seeing this appearance of Jack.
He understood a finger, touched to Pepita’s forehead lightly and said in a low voice, -The little fool who is not seer, don’t cry as you want in the future, you disturb other people.
She did not know if it was telepathy between father and daughter, Pepita began to laugh after being touched by Kennedy’s finger.
The last sadness in the bottom of Kennedy’s heart disappeared completely by the smile. But on the surface, she still had a dark face, only the frolic of laughter in the depths of her dark eyes could not be totally hidden.
He again poked Pepita’s cheek and played with it using his fingers, Pepita laughed a lot, it was seen that she was very cool.
Alice who was next door saw this scene and shook her head hopelessly.
She cared for Pepita more and more every day, she could even laugh so much in front of her father’s sullen face, she didn’t know what nonsense she was cheerful about.

It wasn’t busy today the ramen restaurant business, that’s why Yanis was texting Zain with the cell phone. It turned out that Zain said he had to make a meeting and asked her to wait obediently.
Yanis said yes obediently and laughed so hard holding the cell phone.
Actually when Zain was working, Yanis did not dare to text him. Anyway who knew if he had a business the next second. Since the last time, he said he came once he received his message, Yanis did not message him anymore during the initiative work time.
But maybe Zain considered for other things, he sent her messages when he was free from time to time. So the two of them had agreed that they could send messages when they had time. If there was something, he had to do the important things immediately.
For example like Yanis, if customers came to the restaurant, she could not answer the message to Zain for lending a hand to the others. When she finished work and picked up the cell phone, it was possible that a few hours had passed.
But it was sweet when the love started, they always wanted to get more time and make time to chat or send messages.
He finished putting the cell phone down, when Yanis went to get up, he saw a familiar figure suddenly enter the restaurant.
Just for a glance, Yanis’ gaze became evasive. Because the person who entered was not someone else, it was Nathan who had seen him a long time ago.
After he came to say goodbye with her the last time, although Yanis felt a little sad, she forgot about this person quickly.
All this showed the level of Nathan’s position in her heart, it also showed that the feelings of love could not really be forced.
Yanis began to feel sad when she remembered the things Nathan did for her. If it were possible, she would prefer not to like Nathan ever. So he was not going to be alone until now and she did not have to feel so guilty either.
When their gazes met, Nathan gave her a slight smile.
Although there was a scar on his face, it didn’t affect his appearance at all. Handsome people were handsome no matter what. It was not very fair that Nathan who was such a sincere person could not find a person who treated him sincerely in this life.
Nathan did not know that Zain and Yanis were already together. He had just finished something and came back from a foreign country. The first thing he did when he came back was to look for Yanis, did he want to know if she was well and if she was thinner or not?
As he wished, Yanis’ current state seemed much better than before, the color of her face was red, the most important thing was that her eyes were bright.
Seeing Yanis like this, Nathan was calm while he was worried again, the eyes were darker.
Before he left, he felt indistinctly that many things were possibly changed during the time he was gone. Maybe… it was too late now.
When Nathan walked in front of Yanis, she smiled at him.
-Did you finish your work and go back to the country already?
Yanis did not really know with what attitude she was treating Nathan. She feared that he would misunderstand her if she treated him with enthusiasm, but she also feared that he would feel sad because of the cold attitude.
It was impossible for her to be his girlfriend, though. Still the two of them were friends after knowing for so long.
There was a saying, there was no pure friendship between a man and a woman. Unless one pretended to be so much and the other said nothing.
But it was impossible for her to pretend to be so much and for Nathan to say nothing either. That’s why the two of them could not have been friends at all.
At this thought, Yanis felt a little sorry in his heart, but he immediately became firm again. If being friends was going to give Nathan a little hope, it was better to cut everything off at once.
-Yes,” Nathan nodded with a chuckle and looked around the restaurant, “Why are there so few customers, if you’ve been loitering recently?
His tone carried a bit of mime. Yanis noticed that he had light circles under his eyes, must be from not resting well. Besides not seeing him for this time, he looked thinner than before.
Yanis explained, -Today is Monday, everyone is probably working. It will get better by noon.
The two talked for a while, Nathan put his hand in his pocket. He really brought Yanis a gift this time, he didn’t go anywhere after getting off the plane, he just wanted to come and see her and see if he had the chance to give her the gift.
Just as Nathan prepared to take out the gift and give it to Yanis as if nothing had happened, Brisa suddenly came out from inside.
-Did you come back, Nathan?
Nathan’s hand stopped just like that and he put his hand back out as if nothing had happened. He nodded to Brisa.
-Madam, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.
Brisa seemed happy to see Nathan, took a long step forward, pulled him into a sitting position and made him tea. Nathan’s face wore a resigned smile and he followed her inside.
Yanis saw Nathan who was pulled inside, regretted his mother’s manner.
She was destined not to have a result between her and Nathan.
Besides, she had already been with Zain. Although she did not know if it would last long, she had already decided that she was not going to be with anyone else but him in her life. Brisa treated Nathan with such enthusiasm, what could she do if he had the confused imagination?
Actually Brisa also had her thoughts. Of course, she liked Nathan better. Compared to Zain, Jack’s uncle, she preferred Nathan as a mother.
The distance between Nathan and her daughter was not far, but her daughter did not like it. For it was really separated by an unexceeding distance in the middle.
It was a pity that Nathan was such a good boy, so Brisa decided to make a blitzkrieg for her daughter.
-It was very tiring the work you went to try this time, wasn’t it? Look how much thinner you are than before.
