326 Turn Your Back On Me (1/2)

The next moment when Ah-Si looked over towards Yan Ying, he couldn't find his entourage in sight. Only Yan Ying was the one walking towards him with her gentle smile as always.

”Ying Jie, where did everyone go?” asked Ah-Si baffled at the thought that he had been trying to get rid of those bodyguards for so long, and yet Ying didn't even take five minutes before succeeding.

”They are around, they just won't disturb you anymore,” replied Ying as she stood before him.

”Thank goodness...”

Ying was poking the sides of the little baby girl in his arms as if trying to tickle her as she asked, ”What brought you to the mall?”

”I wanted to buy some stuff for Ava... Clothes, toys, necessities..”

Ying bobbed her head up and down as she opened her arms as if inviting the little girl and to Ah-Si's surprise, Ava actually reciprocated her action and jumped into Ying's arms without any hesitation.

He knew how much his daughter avoided strangers. Just how could she so easily leave his side now?

However, while he was busy trying to wrap his mind around this new development, both the women before him were busy playing with the little girl who giggled and babbled in reply.

”How old is she?” asked Cali.

”Three,” answered Ah-Si.

Cali frowned a little, ”And she still didn't start talking?”

Ah-Si shook his head as his eyes dulled a bit. Seeing that Cali didn't look for any further answer as she suggested, ”Let's do this little one's shopping first.”

”Even if you didn't say it, I was gonna do exactly that,” replied Ying as she kissed the little girl's head and cooed in a baby voice, ”We're gonna buy Princess Ava's new clothes. Let's buy lots of toys as well. Okay? Baby like the idea?”

Little Ava in her arms only giggled adorably making her heart swell. Gosh! Would it be wrong if she said that she wanted to steal this baby girl?! She was so cute just how was she supposed to let her go?!

....

Fiery, juicy, greasy, and deliciously moist.

That was the only way Nora could describe the burger in her hands. To Jackie, she looked sloppy with juice dripping down her chin and even her hands were stained. To even his surprise, this was actually her second large burger since he didn't want to eat it, she went on to take his as well.

As he took a sip of his soda, he narrowed his eyes at his elder sister. ”Nono, what's on your mind?”

Nora looked up at him and shook her head back and forth.

”I know my sister very well. You're neither a shopaholic nor are you a junk food lover.” Nora lifted her eyes again to stare into his eyes in surprise as he went on, ”You only insist on shopping when you're stressed. And you only crave this junk food when you're thoughts are all over the place.”

Jackie showed her phone which he had taken while she was focused on eating to her saying, ”I just asked Xiu about your weird behavior. She said something is bothering you and that's why you brought me out to distract yourself.”

Nora chuckled slightly, ”My best friend is selling me out now.”

”Nono, can't you share it with me?”

”You're too young, little brother.”

”Maybe I am young and won't be of much help but you should know that your brother is always by your side.”

Nora couldn't help but smile at him in gratitude. Those words really meant a lot to her. But could she really share everything with him? He was too young to get involved in her mess of a life.
