"I will walk you home."
As if he put all the things that had happened at the restaurant behind him, Rowdy Brightwill’s mouth twitched slightly. He immediately took a step forward and gently said to Flossie Wright.
He was able to ask Flossie out today by taking the risky step of "breaking off the engagement." From noon until now, except for the time spent at the cinema, there was almost always some mess that interfered. More importantly, Flossie spent the entire movie asleep, completely devoid of any sense of a date. Now, after finally finishing their meal, he could reasonably send Glenn Hutchinson away but didn’t expect Flossie to leave just as she stepped out the door...
He realized the promise to treat her to a meal had been fulfilled nevertheless.
"No need," Flossie shrugged, striking right at Rowdy Brightwill’s weakness, "They don’t want to see you."
Suddenly recalling something, Rowdy Brightwill felt like crying but couldn’t.
If he goes over to Flossie’s mother’s place today after his visit yesterday where he was treated like a rare guest, he would be practically asking for punishment.
Who told him to be so decisive in calling off the engagement?!
Flossie’s mother had had a lengthy heartfelt talk with him yesterday, but he disrespected her by giving nonchalant and perfunctory answers. If his own daughter were jilted and received such an indifferent response, and then was desperately trying to force her way back into his house, he would undoubtedly pick up a stick and beat them until they were half-paralyzed!
With this in mind, Rowdy Brightwill thought he was at a considerable loss.
With a wave of her hand, Flossie showed no intention of lingering. She sauntered directly towards the street, waved down a taxi, and without even a backward glance, climbed into the car and left gracefully.
Watching her car disappear from his sight, Rowdy Brightwill hid the faint sense of loss in his heart. He was just about to return to his car when he saw Glenn Hutchinson who had left first. He hesitated for a moment before chasing after him, "Why didn’t you walk her home earlier?"
Although Rowdy Brightwill didn’t like Glenn Hutchinson trying to woo Flossie, he was puzzled by his lack of effort when he had the chance. If Glenn Hutchinson was not interested in Flossie, why would he come along and be such a glaring third wheel? But if he was interested, why did he make no move when he had the chance to walk her home...
Glenn Hutchinson glanced at Rowdy Brightwill but did not answer, walking with confident and smooth strides.
"Hey, is that child of yours biological?"

"Flossie doesn’t have patience. She will not be good with a child."
"Did you adopt the child?"
As he kept prattling, Glenn Hutchinson was about to leave the parking lot. Rowdy Brightwill unconsciously stopped in his tracks and shouted towards his fading figure, "Where are you going?"
"To buy toys."
Glenn Hutchinson answered without turning around.
Rowdy Brightwill paused, glancing in the direction Glenn Hutchinson was heading—it was towards the supermarket.
Rowdy Brightwill watched him with annoyance for a few moments and then, somewhat crestfallen, walked back towards his car.
As the journey back was quite long, by the time Flossie returned, it was already quite late. Nevertheless, her mother was still waiting with a pot of porridge for her.
"You’re back?"
Upon hearing the noise, Flossie’s mother in the living room quickly came out. Seeing Flossie change her shoes at the door, her face immediately showed indescribable joy, and her eyes were filled with happiness.
