Chapter 737 When I Grow Up, I'll Come to You
A few days later, when Eden came to the Doyle Manor to deliver some files, he happened to seetwo little kids who had just finished playing in the mud.
When he saw Anna's dirty appearance, his eyes softened unconsciously. "Anna looks like a littledirty cat."
As soon as he spoke, Jimmy immediately stood up and blocked Anna behind him. "Eden, you can'tbully Anna."
Eden raised an eyebrow at Jimmy's words and smiled meaningfully. It seemed that his little "girl"was safe now and no one would bother her.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved all over.
Just as he was lost in thought, Anna timidly peeked out from behind Jimmy. "Hello, Eden."
Seeing the cute little girl hiding behind Jimmy with her big eyes looking like a nervous rabbit madeEden's heart soften even more.
He spoke softly again with a slightly slower tone. "Hello, Anna." After saying this sentence gently, hecontinued, "Go play with Jimmy now while I go find Stefan," he said before turning around andleaving.
Only after Eden walked away did Anna's tense body finally relax completely.
Jimmy felt her relaxation and smiled at her reassuringly. "Don't be afraid, Anna. With me here,nobody can bully you."
"Thank you," replied Anna with a bright smile on her face .
Jimmy couldn't resist reaching out to touch the top of her head but suddenly realized that his handswere covered in dirt, so he gave up but chose to hold Anna's hand and walk into the lobby.
Happy times always seem to pass by quickly though...
By the time Anna's parents arrived at the Doyle Manor, more than half a month had passed.
At that time, Anna's parents were downstairs chatting with Martha and Stefan.
Mrs. Miller, with a bulging belly, looked gratefully at Stefan and then shifted her gaze towardsMartha.
"Mr. Harrison, Mrs. Harrison, I really appreciate your taking care of our daughter for so long."
"No biggie. Anna is very well-behaved. We really liked having her here," Martha responded with awarm tone, her eyes filled with reluctance towards Anna.
Although she had only spent a short time with Anna, she found her to be adorable and well-behaved, and liked her very much.
Moreover, since they had met that day, it must have been fate.
Mrs. Miller sighed helplessly and looked at Anna with pity in her eyes.
"If it weren't for all the recent events happening in the Miller family lately, I would have come overearlier. Speaking of which, thanks to you guys, Anna is safe and sound."
She had watched the surveillance footage at the police station and knew where the nannyabandoned Anna was located - a busy intersection where cars were constantly passing by.
If Anna had accidentally run towards the road at that time... she might not be playing safely nowwith Jimmy from the Harrison family.
Later that day, Anna's parents also saw the address left by Martha and Stefan at the police station.
Her husband sent someone here secretly to see if Anna was really okay before they could restassured.
However, during those days when the Miller family was still fighting amongst themselves internally,in order not to let Ana fall into another internal conflict again, she could only temporarily leave Annaat the Doyle Manor.
She believed that Martha, a pregnant mother who would stop the car to protect her daughter, woulddefinitely take good care of Anna.
Martha looked over at Anna who was still playing happily nearby Jimmy and said softly, "Anna is sowell-behaved; my son enjoys playing together with her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Miller's voice followed closely after, "Mr. Harrison, Mrs.Harrison, thank you for your efforts during this period of time."
At noon, both parents stayed for dinner together before preparing to leave.
Mrs. Miller held onto Ana's hand gratefully looking towards Martha, "Mrs. Harrison, thank you somuch; we are truly grateful for your kindness. We will remember this forever."
"It's nothing; feel free to visit us whenever you're free." Martha smiled back while responding gently.
Mrs. Miller chuckled softly while speaking tenderly, "We will definitely come visit you when we havesome spare time."
Standing next Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller extended his right hand towards Stefan, "Mr. Harrison, I'mextremely grateful. If there is an opportunity, I look forward to working together."
"We'll work together if there's an opportunity," Stefan replied smilingly while shaking hands firmlywith him. When his eyes fell on Anna, he seemed reluctant to part with her.
Mrs. Harrison noticed it and called out softly, "Anna, say goodbye to Uncle Stefan and Aunt Martha."
Anna looked at Martha and Stefan with her head tilted slightly. She smiled at them, "Aunt Martha,Uncle Stefan, I'll miss you!"
"We'll miss you too, Anna," Martha and Stefan said as they held hands.
Although this little girl had only been in their lives for a short time, the memories she left behindwere unforgettable.
Meanwhile, Jimmy stood silently by their side with pursed lips. He didn't want Anna to leave but heknew it was time for her to go home.
When Anna saw Jimmy standing there looking sad, she blinked her big eyes curiously, wonderingwhy he wasn't coming to see her off.
Mrs. Miller lovingly touched her daughter's head and said gently, "Anna, say goodbye to Jimmy too,okay?"novelbin
"Okay." Anna obediently responded, then walked over towards Jimmy.
When she reached him, she gently hugged him, saying, "Jimmy, I'm going home with my mommyand daddy now."
Jimmy pursed his lips, then hugged the little girl back tightly.
After a while, he asked quietly, "Will you forget about me?"
Will you forget about our time together?
His dark eyes were filled with loneliness.
Anna let go of her hand, then looked seriously into his eyes, saying,
"Jimmy, don't worry. I won't forget you."
After hesitating for a moment, Jimmy reached out to touch Anna's head, tenderly saying, "When Igrow up, I'll come find you, so don't forget me, okay?"
"Okay," Anna said softly as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Jimmy, I don't want to leave."
"Don't be afraid, Anna; one day soon, we'll play together again," reassured Jimmy as he tried hardnot let any tears fall down from his own face.
He gazed firmly at the little girl standing before him, knowing that they would meet again somedaysoon.
Anna nodded, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Miller's voice rang out from nearby.
"Anna, we have to go."
"Okay."
Anna turned to look at her mother for a moment before turning around and waving goodbye toJimmy while holding back tears.
"Goodbye, Jimmy."
"Goodbye," Jimmy whispered softly as he unconsciously tightened his grip.
Anna nodded and quickly ran towards her parents.
After the Miller family of three got into their car, Anna stuck her head out of the window with redeyes and waved goodbye to the group of people standing outside.
"Grandpa Maxwell, Granny Bianca, Pretty Auntie, Uncle Stefan, and Jimmy. Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye," they all replied in unison.
"Be good when you get home."
"Eat more food when you get home."
"Don't forget to come back and play sometime!"
They watched Mr. Miller's car drive away into the distance until it was no longer visible.
Even after the shadow of the car disappeared from view completely, Jimmy still stared intently inAnna's direction as she left.
Martha sighed resignedly but smiled warmly as she reached over to ruffle Jimmy's hair gently whilesaying, "Saying goodbye is only temporary; reuniting is a new beginning."
Jimmy gazed deeply into his mother's eyes for a moment before nodding slightly and turning awayfrom where he had been standing.
