Seeing that it was Charlie, she hastily walked over and brought him out. "What are you doing here? This place is not suitable for you. Don't get your clothes dirty."
Charlie said with resignation, "You're exaggerating."
"Men should work outside rather than stay in the kitchen. Why did you come to the restaurant today?"
"I came to pick her up," Charlie replied.
Mckenzie was dissatisfied, grumbling," You've been working all day. You must be very tired but still came to pick her up. She had a car. She can go back herself."
"No. We are going to a friend's party. Today is a special case. I'll pick her up and go there together." Afraid that she would ramble on, Charlie made an excuse.
Sure enough, Mckenzie quieted down. "I see. She's sending the dressing and will be back soon. You haven't eaten dinner, right? I'll ask them to cook you some porridge."
Charlie shook his head and refused.
Mckenzie didn't listen to him, calling over a waitress and whispering in her ear.
After a while, the fragrant porridge was served. Mckenzie asked, "How does it taste?
Charlie squinted his eyes, saying, "Not as good as the porridge made by Mom."
Mckenzie laughed and shook her head. " You’ve been good at flattering since you were a kid. Now you're almost thirty. You haven't changed a bit."
Charlie smiled. "I think this is quite good."
Mckenzie echoed. Looking at him eating reminded her of the time when he was a child, sitting in front of her eating porridge.
Twenty years had passed. They spent less and less time alone together.
Charlie didn’t have the patience to fight with them. He fiercely punched and kicked the drunks, which made them unable to get up again.
In a few moments, the chaotic scene ended. Charlie asked the waiter to call the police.
Immediately after that, he leaned down, carried Hailee in his arms, who fainted on the ground, and ran towards the hospital.
Fortunately, the bottle only hit the back of her head. It was not a vital part, so Hailee was not seriously injured.
Knowing this, Charlie put his mind at rest. She was safe anyway.
He hired a caregiver for Hailee, who hadn't come yet. Thus, he couldn't leave for the time being.
Hailee was asleep but seemed to be dreaming. She was waving her hand and constantly shaking her head, looking miserable. She murmured, "Charlie, Charlie...” Though her voice was low, Charlie heard it clearly. He moved his eyebrows but sat still.
