Chapter 1162


    Chapter 1162


    Having her two children with her, Ste naturally didn‘t mind having more space for herself.


    “Great,” she agreed immediately, not wanting to trouble the waitress anymore. “Just lead me there,


    then.”


    “Thank you for your understanding, Madam.”


    Each child by Ste‘s side, Both Elias and Emma, could now speak in simple sentences. Although they


    were little over two years old, their development was closer to that of a three or four–year–old toddler,


    especially Elias, who was a little too smart for his age.


    Ste even brought him to a doctor to get examined. Everything about him was found to be normal, but


    she still could not help but worry about him. The doctor assured her not to be too worried about it and


    told her toe back again in a few years to check his IQ.


    Suddenly, Ste‘s phone rang.


    “Where are you?” she asked as soon as she answered the  call. “Why aren’t you here yet?”


    “I’m downstairs,” Miguel sighed. “Can youe down here and take me up? I’ve been drinking, and I’m


    a little tipsy right now.”


    “Don’t you have your assistant with you?” Ste frowned.


    “We managed to score a huge deal today,” Miguel replied, “so I let them all go home. I’m here alone.”


    “But I have Emma and Elias with me.”


    “Okay,” Miguel replied, sounding as if his feelings were hurt. “I’ll go upstairs myself then…


    “How old are you?” Ste asked, finding his reaction  amusing. “Seriously, you’re acting like a child. How


    much  did you drink? If you can’t even climb up the stairs…”


    “Okay,” Miguel interrupted her before continuing in  good humor. “I get it, I get it. I’m going upstairs to


    find  you guys now.”


    As soon as Ste hung up….  St!


    Emma hurled the contents of a bowl in her hand toward Elias. There was now a massive red, sticky


    blotch of jam on his shirt.


    Elias frowned and red disapprovingly at his sister before yelling, “Naughty! Emma is naughty!”

    Ste had little choice but to hurriedly wipe the jam stain off her son‘s shirt with a napkin.


    Emma sat quietly on the side, watching her mother and brother with a guilty look on her face as she


    covered her ears with her hands.

    Seeing this, Ste‘s anger quickly subsided. She naturally had no heart to reprimand her daughter, so all


    she did was pick Elias up in her arms and tell Emma, “Be a good  girl and stay here, okay? Mommy‘s


    taking Elias to the restroom to clean him up, understand?”


    Emma nodded.


    Ste was still a little unsettled, so she called for a waitress. “Could you please keep an eye on my


    daughter for a minute? I need to take my son to the restroom to  clean him up so he won‘t catch a cold.”


    “Sure,” the waitress nodded. “No problem, Madam.”


    The waitress was watching Emma in the room when someone called out for her.


    She hesitated for a while, but she quickly thought of the safe and perfectly guarded restaurant and how


    quiet and well–behaved the little girl usually was.


    “I need to take a customer‘s order,” she told Emma, “so just stay here and wait for your mommy, okay?”


    Emma nodded and stayed in her seat, quietly waiting for her mommy like a good girl.


    Seeing this, the waitress turned and left.


    Meanwhile, downstairs, the meal proceeded under a strained atmosphere.


    It wasn‘t long before Weston put down the fork and knife in his hands and got up to leave.


    “Mr. Ford,” Daisy sprung up on her feet. “Full already?”


    He had barely touched the food.


    “Yeah,” Weston responded tersely and strode away.


    But he only took one step before feeling something hitting his leg.


    m!


    A little girl with a cute round face had bumped into him and fell butt–first onto the floor. Her eyes


    reddened. She looked as if she was about to burst into tears.


    WAAA!!! WAAA!!!
