The next morning, Halia and her father woke up early to meet Natalie for yum cha in the old town. When they arrived, Natalie and Pumpkin were already sitting inside waiting for them.
As soon as Little Pumpkin saw Halia, he ran up and pounced into her arms. It had been almost a year since he last saw her. "Auntie Haili, I've missed you," he said.
Halia laughed and patted the little boy on the head. "I've missed you too," she said.
She then carried him over to the table and sat him next to his mother.Β
"Mommy, is Uncle Sean coming too?" Pumpkin asked as everyone sat down.
Halia looked at Natalie with curiosity. Uncle Sean? Sean? Was it the Sean she knew? No way!!
Natalie saw Halia's gaze and blushed a little.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, a man's voice suddenly said, "Sorry, I'm a little late."
