Chapter 27 A Warm and Happy Bowl of Noodles

The boss sighed with a look of pity and pushed the noodles to her, comforting, "Hurry to eat, or the noodles will be lumpy soon."

Lilian wiped her tears and showed a hard smile.

Then she picked up the chopsticks and began to stuff noodles into her mouth.

In the boss's eyes, she seemed to eat nothing for several days.

While stuffing noodles into her mouth, Lilian couldn't control her tears. Big teardrops flew down into the bowl and were eaten by her with the noodles.

The restaurant was run by a middle-aged couple who were in their forties. They once had a child when they were young, but the child had a car accident and left.

They had been running the noodle shop to try their best to help those who could not afford to eat, hoping their deceased child would have a good life in heaven by them doing good deeds.

Lilian sat in the restaurant all afternoon and didn't leave even after dark.

The wife of the boss was a bit worried about Lilian, so she discussed with the boss, "This girl looks quite pitiful. Does she have nowhere to go?"

"She can't speak. She probably came here to look for a job."

When the guests had almost left in the evening, the wife of the boss came to Lilian and said, "Little girl, where is your home?"

Lilian shook her head.

She didn't have a home. Accurately speaking, she hadn't had a home since she was five years old.

The wife of the boss sighed, "If you don't have a place to go, why don't you stay here and help us with our work? There's a miscellaneous room inside where you can sleep. You just need to wash dishes and clean up the shop during the day."

Lilian was stunned by her words and looked at her in surprise.

The wife of the boss said with a smile, "But I can't make much money by running the shop. I don't have any salary for you." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Lilian agreed with a nod. She thanked the wife of the boss with a gesture although she knew the wife of the boss couldn't understand its meaning.

The wife of the boss looked at Lilian in a daze, as if seeing someone else through her, and said, "If my daughter were still alive, she would probably be as old as you."

Lilian lowered her eyes silently.

The wife of the boss tidied up the miscellaneous room with an iron frame bed in it. The couple sometimes slept here when they worked late.

Lilian slept in the small miscellaneous room at night. Although it was not as luxurious as Francis' grand villa, she had an inexplicable sense of stability here.

She touched her lower abdomen and thought it would be good to stay here to wait for the baby to be born if Francis didn't come to find her.

When returning home at night, Francis found there was no one in the villa.

He lowered his head and glanced at his watch. It was almost twelve o'clock in the morning, but little dummy had not returned yet.

He went to the kitchen and then to the upstairs bedroom, but found nothing.

He kept searching and his face was darker and darker as he searched more rooms but failed to see Lilian.

He strode to the cloakroom after thinking about something and opened the door, revealing that Lilian's clothes were still there.

His look softened slightly.

He returned to the living room, took out his phone and called his assistant, "Go find where Lilian is."

"Is Ms. Rossum missing?"

Francis lit a cigarette and took a strong puff, saying with an angry smile, "How dare she!"

The assistant sensed the anger in Francis' tone, so he quickly said okay and hung up the phone.

It was not difficult to find Lilian. The surveillance camera outside the SunRise Entertainment could show where she had gone.

She got off at the terminal and went to the old city area.

The assistant secretly glanced at Francis' expression, finding he kept staring at the security footage on the computer without any expression.

The assistant asked tentatively, "Do you want to bring Ms. Rossum back?"

Francis turned off the footage and said with a hint of coldness in his look, "No, just freeze all her cards. After having enough hardship, she'll be back on her own."

But the thing seemed not to develop as he had thought.
