Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Little Girlfriend (9)

"What?" Axel didn’t understand the meaning of his dad’s words.

Carolline directly pinched Bryan Hawkins’s arm. It was one thing for him to say such words in front of her, but to say it in front of their child – was this how a father should act?

"Heh, hehe..." Bryan Hawkins chuckled softly. It was their turn to pay. After paying the bill, he led his wife and child out of the restaurant and headed to the underground parking lot.

In the parking lot, the three of them bumped into Cole Duncan again. However, Daisy Willow and Elena Duncan were no longer with him. Axel saw Cole and asked, "Uncle, where are Elena and Auntie?"

Cole didn’t expect to meet the family of three here. "Oh, our driver came to pick them up. I have some things to attend to and need to leave first."

Watching Cole’s hurried departure, Carolline and Bryan Hawkins seemed to understand what he was rushing for, but was it right to put his wife and child aside like this?

"Elena’s dad is always busy. Dad, is doing business really that hard? Just like you were before." For the first time, Axel realized that having a wealthy father wasn’t easy, and it was really hard for them as children.

The reason he and Elena became such good friends was that they both rarely got to see their fathers. His father flew all over the world, which was somewhat fine, but Elena’s father, even though he was in the country, often didn’t come home.

After each family interactive activity, the two children would feel sad for a while, comfort each other, and then become closer and closer friends.

Later, Axel’s father came back, and for the past half a month, Axel had been immersed in the happiness of having his father by his side, neglecting Elena for some time.

Elena said earlier that she and her mother had waited for her father for a long time before coming here to shop. But now, her father left her and her mother with the driver to attend to other matters. Axel guessed that Elena must be very sad now.

"Well, it’s not necessarily. Dad was wrong to be so busy before. Now that I’ve realized it, I’ll improve my work efficiency during working hours so that I can spend more time with you and your mom." Bryan Hawkins said softly.

They knew that Cole wasn’t going to work, but they couldn’t tell Axel the truth.

"Then, I’ll tell Elena tomorrow to persuade her dad like this." Axel suddenly had an epiphany.

"Alright." Bryan Hawkins nodded, opened the rear car door and lifted Axel into the safety seat.

After putting the shopping bags in the trunk, Carolline sat in the passenger seat. She looked out of the window, her thoughts occupied by Daisy Willow and Elena Duncan’s faces.

As the car drove onto the smooth road, Bryan Hawkins reached out to hold Carolline’s hand that was resting on her lap. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Carolline shook her head, she just felt sorry for Daisy Willow. Such a beautiful woman, and her husband was still keeping a mistress outside. She really didn’t know what was going on in that man Cole Duncan’s mind.

Moreover, she genuinely felt sorry for little Elena. In the past, she saw Daisy Willow always attending kindergarten activities alone with Elena. Although Axel had no father, he still had her and grandparents, as well as his godfather and godmother.

Little Elena was truly pitiful.

"Don’t think about it anymore. We can’t manage other people’s lives."

Carolline nodded, admitting that Bryan Hawkins’s words made sense.
