    Ellinor politely replied to the young waitstaff. “She didn’te with us, but she says she knows me. Let


    me chat with her for a bit and check if she might be the child of someone i know. Meanwhile, you can


    continue asking in the other rooms to see where she might have wandered off from, and thene


    back to collect her here.”


    The waiter found her suggestion reasonable and, after leaving Lea in Ellinor’s care, moved on to the


    next room.


    Ellinor looked down at the little girl she had no recollection of. “Come on in with us for now.”


    Lea, more than happy to oblige, quickly followed Ellinor into the private room.

    Tristan’s expression darkened slightly. His brows were furrowed, and he began pouting his lips.


    Upon noticing Tristan’s mood, Byran flicked him on the forehead yfully. “What’s on your mind?”


    Shaken from his thoughts, Tristan nced outside their room withplicated eyes He suspected his


    father was also in the restaurant, but he didn’t know how to broach the subject with his uncle.


    Shrugging, he shook his head at Byran.


    Byran found the boy’s behaviour odd but let it slide. After leading Tristan back into the room, he closed


    the door behind them.


    Everyone was curious as to why Ellinor unexpectedly brought in a little girl.


    Chase asked, “Boss, whose kid is this?”


    Ellinor shrugged. “I’m not sure yet. She ims to know me.”


    All eyes were on Lea, a stranger to everyone present.


    Lea, oblivious to their stares, kept her gaze fixated on Ellinor


    Feeling slightly ufortable under her intense stare, Ellinor asked, “Littledy, you say you know me,


    but could you tell me how?”


    Even now, Ellinor was inclined to believe the child had mistaken her for someone else.


    Lea, with a serious expression, stared at Ellinor. “I know you. My family has been looking for you for


    years. Don’t you remember me?”


    Ellinor studied Lea’s face again but still found no familiarity. She shook her head. “Sorry, I don’t


    remember. You say your family has been looking for me? For what?”


    “To thank you!”


    Ellinor was even more confused. “Thank me? For what?”


    Growing slightly impatient, Lea exined, “Because you saved my mom’s life a few years ago. My


    parents had been searching for their savior for a long time but had found no leads. It’s great that I


    found you today.”


    As she spoke, she tightly gripped Ellinor’s hand, revealing her excitement.


    Ellinor still couldn’t remember saving the girl’s mother. “Are you sure you haven’t mistaken me for


    someone else?”


    Lea shook her head vigorously. “No way! I could never forget you. You’re so beautiful. You’re the most


    beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life. How could I mistake you for someone else?”


    Ellinor smiled faintly. She had to admit that this girl was an expert at ttery.


    Chase teased. “Boss, when did you do such a good deed behind our backs?”


    Byran chimed in. “Sis, you’re quite forgetful. You can’t even remember saving a life.”


    Ellinor shot them a nce, then gently patted Lea’s shoulder. “Kid, calm down. Take your time and tell


    me about the circumstances under which I saved your mom.” Nodding, Lea took a moment to gather


    her thoughts and began her story.
