Todd was already there when Wendy and the rest arrived at the restaurant.
A waiter approached them and asked, "Hi, are you Ms. Swift?"
Wendy nodded.
"This way please." The waiter signaled for them to follow him.
Todd had booked a private room.
"Uncle Todd..." Leah called out to him sweetly the moment she saw him.
Jake also greeted him happily.
Todd was no stranger to them. Uncle Todd had always been kind to them in Rheinsville City.
Children were simple, they remembered those who were nice to them.
Todd warmed up when he saw the two children.
He walked up and carried Leah in his arms. He placed her on the seat next to him and asked, "Leah and Jake, did you miss me?"
Both Leah and Jake nodded and said in unison, "Yes!"
"Uncle Todd also missed the both of you," Todd responded.
The waiter came in with a tablet in hand to take their order.
