Chapter 472: Candy’s Restaurant
Dylan’s heart ached at the sight of his daughter’s face.
In the past, her daughter had been playing with the children for a long time, with a happy smile on her face. Her little face would be flushed and her big eyes full of excitement.
It had been a long time since she had seen her daughter like this.
Dylan looked at Cecilia, who seemed to be in her own world, with pain in her eyes, and after restraining himself, he approached her.
The class teacher saw Dylan, froze for a moment and then immediately greeted him.
She was worried that Cecilia might think of Nana when she went back to her old nursery, so Dylan had found a new one. Every day for over a month, apart from the driver, Dylan himself came to pick up Cecilia, so in the eyes of Cecilia’s teacher, Dylan was a big shiny diamond.
He concludes that Cecilia is a single mother and that is why she is so quiet and introverted.
His self-righteous assumptions and judgements make his heart grow fonder.
Every time Dylan comes to pick up Cecilia, the teacher tries to get her noticed in front of him, in the hope that Dylan will notice her. Of course, given the man’s powerful aura, she didn’t dare be too obvious about it.
If he was a regular, Dylan would have sensed the other man’s intentions long ago.
But lately he had been so busy with the company, so anxious about Vanessa’s whereabouts and so worried about his daughter that he had not paid the slightest attention to unrelated matters, and had not noticed the woman’s thoughts.
-Mr. Dylan, have you come to pick up Candy?
The woman looked at Dylan with the sweetest of smiles.
Dylan, who was full of his daughter, merely nodded indifferently at her words, his gaze still on Cecilia’s body.
Seeing this, the woman deliberately put on a face of concern and sincerity and said
-Mr. Dylan, we can talk, Candy is in bad shape, and as her teacher I would like to…
His words ended abruptly under Dylan’s cold, stern gaze before he could finish them.
I didn’t know what I had said wrong, only that Dylan’s eyes were cold and frightening.
-I’ll take care of my daughter’s condition myself, it would be better if you did your part.
Dylan’s cold, sharp gaze seemed to see through her heart, making the woman startle, and her smile harden to the core.
-I… I know.
Withdrawing his gaze coolly, Dylan strides into the classroom.
-Caramel.
-Dad?
Cecilia, who was immersed in her own world, raised her head and her eyes immediately lit up at the sight of Dylan. She put down the book she was holding and stood up, jumping straight into Dylan’s arms.
-Dad, what are you doing here?
-To pick up my princess Candy and take her home, of course.
Cecilia smiled softly, her eyes warm and kind.
-But the kindergarten is not over yet.
-It’s only a few minutes away, we’re leaving early today.
-All right!
Cecilia nodded immediately.
She also wanted to stay with her father.
Dylan smiled, picked up his daughter and turned to leave.
He looked coldly at the teacher as he passed her, as if to warn her.
Only when the tall figure disappeared did the teacher’s face turn white and her mouth opened wide for a breath of fresh air.
The truth is that he was in for a shock.
Now the professor did not dare to flirt with Dylan again.
As handsome and rich as the other man was, she had to have that to get his attention and be with him. Since she was out of his reach, she could be honest.
-Dad, aren’t we going home?
Cecilia asked curiously, looking at the route through the car window.
We’re not going home for dinner today, dad’s taking you to a new ocean-themed restaurant, okay?
An ocean-themed restaurant?
-Yes, we’ll know when the baby Candy arrives.
Dylan said with a smile, but in his heart he hoped that his daughter would smile happily and feel better seeing so many beautiful sea creatures. Then it would be worth spending a fortune on a five-star ocean-themed restaurant.
Half an hour later, the car pulled into the dedicated parking space.
Dylan got out of the car with his daughter in his arms and led her into the restaurant by the hand.
-Wow, there are so many shells and corals and all kinds of fish underfoot!
Cecilia’s eyes widened as she entered the hotel lobby.
Under the transparent glass the sea water flowed, full of sand, shells, corals and swimming sea creatures. Walking on it is like stepping on the surface of the sea.
The upper part of the restaurant is also made of transparent glass, with all kinds of fish swimming around inside.
The tables and chairs are shell-shaped, and every now and then you can see a beautiful wave.
Any child would be thrilled and excited to enter such a childish, marine-inspired restaurant.
Cecilia was no exception.
Holding Dylan’s hand, she walked excitedly around the restaurant. With the sea and sea creatures in front of her and behind her and under her feet, the girl’s eyes looked from side to side.
-Do you like it?
Dylan bent down and lifted his daughter so she could touch the glass over her head.
-Yes.
Cecilia nodded vigorously, her little face beaming, showing her sweet dimples and cute tiger teeth.
-This restaurant is Candy’s oh, this is Candy’s restaurant. When Candy becomes an adult she can take over this place, and then Candy can add whatever she wants to the design of the restaurant.
-Really? Such a nice restaurant is Candy’s.
-Of course that’s true. So daddy’s Candy has to grow up fast and learn a lot of things to manage when she’s old enough. Got it?
-Yes, I have it.
Cecilia nodded her head immediately and emphatically.
His interest grew even more when he learned that the restaurant was his, and his eyes lit up as if he had a purpose.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Dylan was relieved to see this.
If he could find something to distract his daughter, something to take her mind off her sadness, he would be happy to do whatever Dylan was asked to do.
When Cecilia had had enough of visitors, father and daughter looked for a place to eat.
Cecilia was excited and happy the whole time until she left the restaurant.
After putting Candy to bed for the night, Dylan leaned over and gave her a tender kiss on the forehead before tiptoeing out of her room.
The study.
-Are all Orlando’s contacts offline?
-All broken – He’s like a sewer rat now, and he can’t find anyone even if he wants to. Without the people on those lists to turn to, it’s only a matter of time before we find him.
Matthew scoffed.
All this time he had been going out early and coming back late every day to keep his spirits up and to be able to cut Orlando’s contacts. Now that something good had finally come out, he could breathe a little easier.
