C9 She must be a Good Mother.

"Two." The deep and cold male voice passed her and spoke.

Harlan had already stood beside her.

The golden light shone on his body. From Renee's angle, his cold face seemed to have softened a little, as if it had been dyed with a hint of human warmth.

"Alright, what flavor do you want?"

Renee only pulled her thoughts back when the boss's bright voice sounded. Her ears could not help but turn slightly red.

She had actually been distracted just now.

Renee hurriedly replied, "Milk Tea." She then looked at the little bun in her arms. "Darren, what flavor do you want to eat?"

"Just like Aunt."

When the boss handed the ice cream to her, her eyes were filled with envy. "Your husband is so good-looking. Oh my, this son is so cute. If only I had half of your luck."

Renee was a little embarrassed by her words. Just as she was about to explain, the man beside her had already taken the ice cream and replied to the boss, "Thank you."

Although it was an extremely cold tone, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the corner of his mouth seemed to curve.

He must have gone crazy!

Harlan's answer was undoubtedly a tacit acknowledgment of the boss's words. When Renee wanted to explain, the boss had already pushed the cart away.

On the bench.

Renee absent-mindedly licked the ice cream in her hand, but she could not help but glance at the man not far away.

Unlike her, Darren was eating ice cream very seriously. Children were attracted by delicious food, so they did not have many rules. Therefore, they would always stick to the side of their mouths, and their pink little mouths were dyed with a light green trace.

Harlan was holding a towel and wiping him over and over again. His movements were elegant, and his expression did not seem impatient at all.

At this moment, he was completely different from his father from yesterday.

"Miss Haver, do I look good?" Harlan did not even look up, as if he had noticed her gaze. He spoke casually.

When he said this, he was still wiping Darren's mouth.

Therefore, Renee did not react in time and subconsciously replied, "I do..."

When she came back to her senses, she wanted to slap herself twice. She quickly looked away and said, "Ahem, that... I mean, the scenery today is really beautiful. There are no clouds in the sky, and the moon is bright and the stars are rare."

Renee really wanted to find a hole to bury herself. What was she talking about?

Unexpectedly, Harlan did not make things difficult for her anymore. He only reminded her, "The ice cream is almost done."

"Oh, oh, thank you." She quickly lowered her head and took two bites.

The ice coldness that filled her entire body instantly calmed her down. She felt that she could not always be at a disadvantage when facing this man. She did not owe him anything, right?

Thinking about this, Renee took the initiative to open her mouth. "How about... I buy you one too."

Harlan remained expressionless. "I don't like sweet food."

"I thought you wouldn't let Darren eat something like that."

Harlan asked, "Why?"

"Because it tastes dirty. Rich people like you are always..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

"It's okay to eat it occasionally."

Renee nodded. "Don't they say that if you don't clean up, you won't get sick? It's good for children to eat a little more."

Harlan threw the paper shell in Darren's hand into the trash can in front of him. After wiping his mouth and hands clean, he said, "Miss Haver must be a good mother."

"..." Should she accept it or not?

Renee looked at the little bun who was still licking his tongue and changed the topic. "Darren, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." He tugged at the corner of his father's clothes and his eyes were filled with desire. "Still want more?"

Harlan rejected him without hesitation. "No."

Darren pouted and turned to Renee. His eyes were brighter and brighter, like a vast ocean.

Renee's heart was half as cold as the ice cream in her hand. She felt that Darren would be able to harm the world even more than her father when he grew up.

It's over, it's over. This father and son pair had completely charmed her.

Renee lowered her head. Her voice was so soft that even she didn't realize it. "Darren, you can eat this thing occasionally to relieve your hunger, but your stomach will hurt if you eat too much. If your stomach hurts, you need to go to the hospital. If you go to the hospital, you need to get an injection. Auntie was alone in the hospital last night. She was cold, hungry, and scared. How pitiful."

Darren seemed to understand, but he didn't quite understand. He buried his head into her arms. "I won't be afraid, Darren."

Renee's heart softened. This was a feeling that she had never experienced before.

Ever since she was brought into the Haver family at the age of five, no one had ever really cared about her. At first, she tried to do everything she could to please them.

However, after growing up, she realized that no matter what she did, they all hated her.

In their eyes, she was just a lowly illegitimate daughter.

Moreover, her older sister liked to pretend to be a gentle, kind, generous, and elegant young lady in front of others. If she didn't have a vicious concubine to complement her, how could she shine?

Renee gradually retracted her light and focused on being the foil for Sina.

Since no one liked her, why did she have to work so hard?

It was better to do whatever she wanted.

Renee originally thought that she was already as heartless as a stone. However, at this moment, her nose was sore because of a three-year-old child's words.

She hugged Darren's soft body and said, "Yes, I'm not afraid."

Just as Renee was trying to calm herself down, a hand with clear joints took the ice cream from her hand. The cold fingertips gently rubbed her palm, causing her to feel a little numb.

It was as if he was trying to emphasize his presence.

Renee looked up at the still indifferent man with a puzzled expression.

Harlan's expression did not change. His thin lips were cold as he said, "It's already melted."

After he finished speaking, he threw it into the trash can.

Renee was speechless. Although it had already melted, it was not to the point of being thrown away, right?

Renee stayed with the little bun for a while longer. She looked at the time and felt that it was time to go back. She rubbed his little head and said, "Baby, Auntie should go home. You have to be good."

Darren held her hand and said, "Then can I see Auntie in the future?"

"Of course you can." Renee took out a small notebook from her bag and wrote a string of numbers for him. "This is Auntie's phone number. Lil'Darren can call me anytime. Auntie also has..."

Renee suddenly remembered the business card she had thrown into the trash can. She subconsciously felt a little awkward. She touched her nose and realized that the cold-faced man was still there. She could not tell him the truth, so she could only say, "Auntie will think of a way to contact you."

After saying that, she patted her butt and prepared to run.

"Miss Haver." A cold male voice came from behind her.
