“No way. Nelson is so handsome and adorable. I wonder how many little girls will fall in love with him once he starts. kindergarten? My daughter will have a lot of competition!”
Lina said with a smile. The more she looked at the little one, the more she adored him.
Kyla Corbyn looked at her son who was rubbing his eyes and was apparently a little sleepy. There was a touch of sadness in her eyes.
She picked her son up and put him on the bed nearby. It was time for the little one to take a nap.
Kyla Corbyn gently coaxed him, and soon, the little one fell asleep. Kyla Corbyn then muttered, “I just hope Nelson won’t be discriminated against when he starts kindergarten”
“Who dares discriminate against him? I’ll go to the kindergarten and stand up for him!” Lina immediately said. She did not believe she could not handle a few children.
Kyla Corbyn smiled. She envied Lina’s character sometimes. She was just as fearless as she used to be. However, she could never be the same after everything she experienced.
“Grace, thank you so much for the custody case,” said Kyla Corbyn
“I’ve already talked to the firm and Lawyer Carter has agreed to help. Don’t think about it too much,” said Grace.
Kyla Corbyn nodded. Speaking of which, she was surprised that Martin Weiss chose a court in Emerald City to hear the case She thought he would choose a court in 5 City.
After all, 5 city was his territory.
Since he had chosen Emerald City, she did not have to travel.
back and forth between two cities, which saved her a lot of effort job?” asked Grace.
“I’ll set up a food stall for now. I’ll take care of the rest after the lawsuit is over,” said Kyla Corbyn.
“A food stall? A roadside food stall?” Lina was surprised.
“Yeah, I start in the evening and close around 3 A.M. I’ve been. doing it for more than a week, and it’s doing okay. The money
I’m making is sufficient to support me, my mom, and Nelson,” said Kyla Corbyn.
“Isn’t running food stalls hard work?” asked Lina.
“A little, but the jobs I can do are limited. I’m just setting up a stall where I cook some noodles and appetizers. The money I earn from doing these is alright. Besides, I’ve set up food stalls before I opened the small restaurant, so I have some experience,” said Kyla Corbyn.
Lina was dumbfounded.
Grace knew how hard life could be for a woman who had been released from prison. She had trouble finding a job too when she was released from prison. Besides, Kyla had to make a living for her mother and son as well.
Kyla Corbyn looked at the time and said, “It’s almost time to set up my food stall, so I’m not going to eat dinner with you. today.”
Grace said, “I’ll go with you. I’m free anyway.”
“I’ll come with you too!” Lina interjected suddenly.
“However, the place is… a bit far. I’m riding a scooter, so you…”
“I’ll drive Grace to the destination and wait for you there. Just tell me the specific location,” said Lina.
Therefore, the three of them headed to the place where Kyla Corbyn set up her food stall.
Once they were there, Kyla Corbyn began to lay out some folding tables and chairs, along with ingredients, tools, and so on. Grace and Lina also gave her a hand.
Once they set up everything, Lina was already sweating and could not help admiring Kyla Corbyn more.
She was already exhausted after doing it for a while, not to mention Kyla Corbyn who usually did everything herself.
The customers had also started to arrive. Kyla Corbyn expertly cooked the food while Grace and Lina helped her wipe the tables and carve the food
Lina looked around. There were many similar food stalls around, and the traffic in the area was pretty good.
“You two haven’t had your dinner yet. I’ll make you some fried vermicelli. You can try out my cooking,” said Kyla Corbyn.
“Sure!” Lina said with a smile. Speaking of which, she had not tried her cooking yet!
“What about you? I don’t think you’ve had dinner either,” said
Grace as she looked at Kyla Corbyn with concern.
“I’ll just eat something later. I own a food stall. Would I starve myself?” Kyla Corbyn said with a smile and quickly cooked two plates of fried vermicelli for Grace and Lina.
They ate at a small square table. Lina praised Kyla Corbyn’s cooking while she ate. “It’s much better than my mom’s cooking.”
“Does your mom still cook at home?” asked Grace.
“That’s right. My mom’s cooking hasn’t improved in decades, but she loves to occupy the kitchen. Then my dad would always butter up my mom by telling her how good her cooking is, so she doesn’t even know the true quality of her cooking.”
Sometimes, her father would give the excuse of letting her mom rest when he could not stand her cooking and cook. himself.
“That means your dad loves your mom a lot!” said Grace. She envied such relationships. Although it was ordinary and there were no exciting plot twists, there was warmth in every detail of their life.
She hoped she would have a relationship like that.
However, it had become wishful thinking.
“That’s true. They’re very much in love.” Then, Lina shrugged. and asked, “By the way, how have you been with Jason? Does he still insist on playing the brother and sister game with you?”
Grace had a flashback of the night he talked about getting back together. He said he would love her and wanted her to love him again.
After she turned him down, he did not come to her again.
However, after she turned him down, the look of loneliness in his eyes had burned into her mind like an imprint. The image would flash through her mind when she closed her eyes in the dead of night.
“What’s the matter? Did Jason do something again?” Lina immediately panicked because of her best friend’s silence.
“No, he just…” Before Grace could answer, Lina’s phone suddenly rang. Lina looked at the caller ID and realized it was from Hadwin Stephenson, so she answered it. “Where are you? Are you still at Kyla Corbyn’s house? Do you want me to come and get you?” asked Hadwin Stephenson, knowing that she had gone to Kyla Corbyn’s residence with
Grace today.
“I’m not there anymore. Kyla sets up a food stall at Huaihai Road at night. Grace and I followed her here. I drove today, so you don’t need to come and get me. I’ll go home after sending Grace home. I’ll contact you once I’m home,” said Lina.
“Okay,” answered Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina was about to end the call when suddenly, there was a bang and someone kicked over a chair at the table next to them.
Lina looked up and saw three men sitting at the table next to them. They each wore menacing expressions. One of them spat out the words, “What kind of crap are you charging me for? Damn it. There are flies in your food. Are you trying to kill us?”
The other two men were also blabbering something about Kyla Corbyn being a shady stall owner, compensation, and so
These three men were only here to create trouble!
Even so, Kyla Corbyn hurried forward and apologized to smooth things over. “Why don’t I cook you a new one? Dinner’s on me the next time you come here?”
“Is that all you’re going to do to settle this? There are flies.
in your dish! What if we ate your food and got hospitalized?
What about the medical bills? Besides, we wouldn’t dare eat your cooking again!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Make her pay!”
“That’s right, Pay up! Forget about doing business here if you don’t pay us!”
The three men spoke, and one of them deliberately held at dead fly in his hand in front of Kyla Corbyn’s face as if it was a piece of physical evidence.
Some of the customers who had been eating also stopped to look on.
Of course, Kyla Corbyn knew that the three men were blackmailing her, but she had no evidence to prove that they planted the fly. She could only say through gritted teeth, “Why don’t I compensate you 200 dollars?”
This 200 dollars was nearly as much as she earned from a
However, they were not safished
“200 dollars? Do you think we’re beggars?”
“That’s right. You should at least give us 50,000 dollars. If you don’t have 50,000 dollars, forget about doing business here!”
