    Chapter 307 Emma Asked for Help


    He looked at me somewhat bewildered, “Teething period?”


    I nodded, “From about six to twelve years old, baby teeth naturally fall out and permanent teeth grow


    in. Don’t you remember? When I lost a tooth as a child, I would throw it under the bed or on the roof.


    My mom thought it was unsanitary to throw it under the bed because she was a clean freak. Soter,


    every time I lost a tooth, my dad would collect it. Every year in April, when we went home for the


    Qingming Festival to honor our ancestors, he would take them back and throw them on the roof of our


    old house.”


    Thinking back to my childhood, I felt somewhat dazed, as if those days had long passed. The memory


    of my father’s towering figure seemed to have faded, and now, it seemed as if I was about to forget


    even his voice and face.


    A wave of sadness surged through my nose, I lowered my head and took a bite of food, suppressing it


    faintly.


    A momentter, when she looked up at Daniel, she saw that he still seemed utterly clueless. She


    couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tell me, you


    ess. She cou really don’t remember anything from when you were a child?”

    He nodded, his gaze particrly serious as he said, “I didn’t have a childhood.”


    I was taken aback, not understanding, “No childhood? Did you just grow up suddenly?” After saying


    that. I hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Were your parents very strict with you when you


    were young?”


    He shook his head, his gaze calm, “I am an orphan. As far as I can

    remember, I only knew I had to fight to survive.”


    A pang of sorrow hit me. For a moment, I hadn’t expected his answer to be like this, truly hadn’t


    expected it to be like this. I thought he had never eaten cotton candy because of his strict parents. Now


    it seems, it was because… his childhood, perhaps, was in apletely different living environment


    from mine.


    I didn’t have a habit of prying into others’ wounds, yet I couldn’t help but feel some sympathy and


    softness for him in my heart.


    Afraid that he would notice my sympathy for him, I forced a smile and pushed the food towards him,


    saying, “How about we go for a walk after we finish eating?”


    His expression was serene, devoid of any emotion, he nodded slightly.


    I was not good at chatting. I originally nned to talk with him about interesting things from our


    childhood, but unintentionally learned about his childhood experiences, so it didn’t seem appropriate to


    continue the conversation.


    So, during mealtime, we inexplicably quieted down. The noise from downstairs outside the window was


    gone, probably because the police hade to resolve it.


    After finishing the meal, there was still plenty of time. I got up to pay the bill. Daniel, sitting in his


    wheelchair, was about to speak. Knowing what he was going to say, I smiled and said, “I know you’re


    very rich, but we agreed when we came out that I would treat you to dinner. So, all you need to do


    tonight is to eat at ease. I’ve got everything covered.”


    He chuckled slightly, his handsome features bing even more attractive as he nodded subtly.


    After settling the bill at the front desk, I turned around intending to go back and push Daniel, but a voice


    stopped me, “Tabatha.”

    The voice sounded somewhat familiar. I nced sideways and saw two people who had juste out


    of the private room, Emma and William. It was Emma who had called me.


    Seeing the two, I was somewhat surprised, smiling at them, “Brother, sister-inw.”


    William gave a slight nod, without uttering a word.


    It was Emma, who looked at me and asked, “Did youe to eat alone?”


    I shook my head, gave a faint smile, “With a friend.”


    Seeing that I had run into someone I knew, Daniel maneuvered his wheelchair over by himself. He


    nced at Emma and William, then turned to me and asked, “Friend?”


    I nodded, originally having nothing to say, and had no intention of chatting with Emma William. Looking


    at the two of them, I said, “Brother, sister-inw, we have other things to do, see you another day.”


    After speaking. I pushed Daniel out of the restaurant. However, we had barely taken a few steps when


    Emma chased after us, “Tabatha.”


    Seeing here out, I was somewhat surprised and smiled lightly, saying, “What’s the matter? Sister-


    inw.”


    Looking at Daniel, Emma hesitated for a few seconds, then turned to me and said, “Tabatha, can I talk


    to you alone? It won’t take long, just five minutes will do.”


    Seeing her looking as if she was in a hurry, I gave a slight nod and said. to Daniel, “Could you wait for


    me for a moment?”


    Daniel nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here.”

    Seeing this, Emma pulled me aside, stopping about ten meters away from Daniel. She looked at me


    and said, “Tabatha, I know you and Walter are divorced. It’s not appropriate for me to bring this up now,


    but I know Walter cares about you. There are some things that he will definitely listen to if you say


    them.”
