He wasn’t someone who needed to do that kind of thing.
“How would you know without giving me a chance?”
She lifted her head and noticed an old lady selling balloons. An idea occurred to her. “I want the biggest balloon.”
A big smile appeared on his face before he immediately ran over to the old lady.
Mia watched his back as regret slowly registered in her.
Had she fallen for his trap? Why did she give that jerk a chance?
By the time he reached the old lady, a little girl was already one step ahead of him. She bought the biggest balloon!
That put him in a difficult position. “I’ll give you one hundred bucks for the balloon,” he offered.
The little girl pulled the balloon close to her. “No!”
Mia smirked, wondering what his next steps would be.
He crouched before the little girl helplessly. “With this money, you can buy all want. Are you sure you don’t want it?” S

“No. I want Princess Arulan.” She was referring to the balloon.
Given her age, she didn’t have the slightest idea of what money meant in this world. All she knew was that it wasn’t easy to save up enough money to buy this balloon. S
Mia looked at Timothy. “Forget it, Mr. Barrett, let’s not trouble a kid. It seems like we’re not fated to be together. It’s getting late. I should go now.”
“Wait up!”
He knelt before the kid. “What do you want me to do so that I can have the balloon?”
He swore to himself that he was going to buy that balloon! Otherwise, he would lose the chance Mia gave him!
Chapter 1037
Timothy looked at the girl seriously. His expression was so solemn that it scared her.
The old lady, who was right next to them, said, “It looks like you don’t know how to make girls happy, young man.”
He had been busy at the top of the social ladder his entire life. How would he know how to make a girl or a woman happy?
“I am dense when it comes to this,” he admitted helplessly.
“Do you have a daughter?” the old lady asked.
Ginger came to his mind and his features softened. “Yes. She’s young but adorable.”
He had never liked kids, but Ginger was special to him.
To him, his daughter was the cutest angel that existed in this world, as well as the small ray of sunshine in his life.
Looking at his gentle expression, the girl no longer felt scared.
The little girl asked curiously, “Mister, do you like balloons too? You’re a grown-up, not a kid.”
“My daughter likes Princess Arulan too, but I want to buy this balloon to make my wife happy. I made her angry. If I can’t buy this for her, she won’t forgive me,” he spoke gently. He never expected himself to be negotiating with a kid one day.
In the past, he had always perceived kids as the most uncontrollable little creatures in this world.
The girl turned her head, looking in Mia’s direction. “Is she that pretty lady over there?”
Noticing the girl’s attention on her, Mia felt slightly awkward.
She wondered how Timothy got to start talking to the girl.
After all, the girl didn’t seem like she was going to hand over the balloon that easily. Her little hands were holding the balloon string so tightly!
On top of that, dealing with kids wasn’t an easy task. Only using money might not do the trick.
Timothy turned his head too, looking at Mia.
Warmth seeped into his voice. “Yes, that’s her. I did something and self the balloon to me get
I made her angry, so sell the balloon to me?”

“Sure!” The girl nodded without hesitation before adding, “But I have one condition.”
Hearing that, Timothy was elated. He still had a chance!
Meanwhile, Mia was curious about what kind of condition the girl would ask.

How was he going to deal with this little girl?
“Tell me, what is it? As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do it for you,” he said confidently.
“Say ‘Please give me the balloon, Your Highness.”,” the girl requested.
While Timothy was stunned upon hearing that, Mia burst into laughter, gloating over his misfortune.
It seemed like little girls had always had a fantasy of becoming a princess. Still, Mia didn’t ne little girl to actually ask that kind of favor from him.
Kids at her age were indeed fearless.
The girl looked at Timothy seriously, waiting for his response.
Sighing, he patted her head. “Could you give me the balloon, Your Highness?”
He would’ve never uttered these words in the past.
However, things had changed. It was probably because he now had a daughter himself.
Chapter 1038
The little girl was older than Ginger, but she somehow reminded Timothy of Ginger.
That was why the words came out of him naturally.
Hearing that, the little girl smiled sweetly and handed him the balloon. “Take it. Don’t make her angry anymore.” After taking the balloon, he took out the remaining money he had in his wallet. “Here. Take it as pocket money.”
She waved her hand, refusing it, “Mom told me not to take money from strangers. I can buy a balloon myself next time.” “Thank you.” Timothy held the balloon in his hand as he felt the weight of worry being lifted from his shoulders.
He managed to buy the balloon!
“Sir, when you give the balloon to her, please don’t forget to say ‘Please accept my apology, Your Highness.”!” Mia, who heard that, went stiff because she couldn’t imagine him saying that to her.
It gave her goosebumps.
Just as the air around them started to turn awkward, Mia hurriedly walked away to leave the place.
But Timothy quickly caught up with her.
He grabbed her hand. “I bought the balloon. Can you accept my apology?”
Forced to stand there, Mia turned her head to look at him.
O
At that moment, he appeared less aloof and ruthless than usual. He looked more like a clumsy next-door neighbor with a cute princess balloon in his hand.
No matter how long she stared at him, he still seemed so out of place because she had never seen him act this way before.
Who would’ve known that he was capable of showing such innocence and sincerity?
If she told others about it, no one would believe her.
Mia let out a wry cough. “I think you’ve forgotten something.”
She glanced at the little girl and the old lady.
Mia remembered what the little girl told him earlier about apologizing.
