Johnny bent down and picked up Jake, who was running towards him!
“Uncle Johnny, are you discharged from the hospital?”
“Did you come to visit me?” Johnny pinched Jake’s nose.
“Of course! I’m very considerate. I even made a wish for you to wake up quickly!”
Johnny genuinely liked Jake. He was clever and smart, and looked exactly like Ulric!
As they started catching up, Tilda reluctantly led Floyd over as well.
Johnny looked at her approaching and greeted Tilda, casually asking, “Here to pick up Rosalind?”
“Mhm.”
“And this is Floyd?” Johnny looked at the little girl Tilda was holding, his eyes shining!
Floyd had fair skin that seemed to glow, big eyes, and rosy lips. She looked just like a doll!
Anyone who saw Floyd would exclaim how beautiful she was.
“Yeah,” Tilda replied in a flat tone.
Johnny didn’t engage in banter with her and walked up to Floyd. He reached out and touched her cheek. “You look more like your mom! Ah, I envy Ulric so much. He has both Floyd and Jake as his kids. As for me, I don’t have any!”
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Tilda.
But she acted as if she hadn’t heard anything!
Although they walked side by side towards the arrival hall, there was nothing to say to each other. Johnny didn’t start a conversation, and Tilda wouldn’t initiate one either.
Once they reached the hall, they found a place to sit down.
Tilda took out two candies from her bag and gave one each to Floyd and Jake.
Seeing her kissing Floyd one moment and playfully teasing Jake the next, Johnny couldn’t help but think that if they had children together, Tilda would be a good mother.
He hadn’t expected she would actually love children.
“Ahem!” Johnny coughed a few times before Tilda looked up at him.
“What’s up?”
Johnny continued pretending to be nonchalant as he asked, “So, how’s your thinking coming along?”
It had been a week since they last spoke.
Of course, he hadn’t contacted Tilda either. Mainly because after going through the embarrassing incident and seeing no signs of Tilda changing her mind, he felt it was better to preserve his own dignity.
“It’s still the same answer,” Tilda said casually without even looking into his eyes. It was like talking about everyday matters.
“Is it still the same concern as before?”
“Correct.”
“Tilda, I used to be a playboy, but I’ve really changed! These days, I’ve been working at W Group. I go to work during the day and sleep at home at night. You can ask around. Even when my buddies came asking me out for drinks, I refused!”
He wanted to prove to Tilda that he was truly making an effort to change for the better.
“Even if you can guarantee never to fool around, we still wouldn’t work out.”
“Johnny, I never liked you in the first place! Haven’t you realized that?” Tilda didn’t want to be so blunt with her words, especially with the children present.
Johnny clenched his teeth.
“You said you liked this face of mine.”
“Only limited to this face! And look now, there’s even a scar on it because of Sirena! It disgusts me just looking at it.”
