Chapter 1141
As soon as Beanie put away his mobile phone, he saw that Auntie Vera's date was approaching him. He immediately gathered himself and found a place to sit down.
"Hi, kid." Sheridan sat down in front of him and greeted him awkwardly. "I apologize for what happened just now."
Beanie rolled his eyes when he heard this. "Sir, are you sorry for not treating me to a meal, or are you sorry for saying something wrong?"
His question made Sheridan feel very embarrassed. He thought it would've been easy to handle this kid, but he didn't expect him to be so quick on the uptake.
However, Beanie was still a child. As long as he appealed to him, it would be fine.
As Sheridan thought of this, he said, "Actually I didn't say anything wrong. It would just be a matter of time. I said I would treat you to a meal, and that means that I'll definitely treat you."
"But, I don't want to eat pasta." Beanie blinked pitifully.
"Then, what would you like to have?" He could see that Vera had a close relationship with this kid. He had to think of a way to stop this kid from talking nonsense in front of Vera.
"Will you treat me to whatever I want to eat?" A cunning look flashed through Beanie's eyes.
"Of course."
Sheridan didn't think too much about it. He thought that he could afford anything that a child wanted to eat. At most, it would cost him a few hundred dollars.
"If you say so. Do you have a car, sir?"
"Yes, I do," Sheridan replied.
"Thank you, sir. Let me go tell Auntie Vera that you are taking me out for a meal, then we shall leave."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay." Sheridan smiled sincerely. He had no idea what was coming.
When Beanie told Vera about this, she frowned slightly and said, "He wants to take you out for a meal? That doesn't seem appropriate. You don't even know each other that well. How can you ask him to treat you to a meal?"
"He is just using me to please you, Auntie Vera. Just let him treat me to a meal." Beanie looked at her with an innocent face.
However, she felt that the more he acted this way, the more dangerous it was. After all, Beanie was different from ordinary children. What if he got hurt when he was out there?
She then squatted down and pinched his face.
"If you want to go out, you have to pay for your own food, or I can pay it back to him when you get back."
He wasn't too happy when he'd heard what she said. If Sheridan wanted to act generous, then she should let him be. Why did she want to pay him back? Besides, Beanie couldn't be blamed for not liking that man with his arrogance when he'd said that the restaurant belonged to him.
"Okay, Auntie Vera. It's not a big deal. I can pay for it by myself."
Humph! Beanie wouldn't do that.
"That's good. Get going."
"Thank you, Auntie Vera. I'll help you observe him."
She was speechless.
This naughty kid...
Sheridan took Beanie out.
Mabie was a little worried.
"We haven't known him for that long. Would it be a good idea for him to take Beanie out?"
Vera listened to her and frowned. "If you're saying that, then I don't think it's a very good idea. Maybe
I should tag along?"
She quickly dropped what she was working on and headed out.
However, Sheridan and Beanie were nowhere to be seen.
"Give him a call to ask for the address and head there. I'll stay in the restaurant," Mabie said.
"Okay, thank you, Mom. I'll come back after they finish their meal."
"Well, Beanie is your friend's child. It's better to be careful."
After Sheridan took the child out, Beanie gave him an address, saying that he wanted to have the delicious food there. Sheridan glanced at the address. He didn't recognize this place. He supposed it must've been somewhere he had never been before.
However, he didn't think too much about it. He turned on his phone navigation and headed towards the destination.
Beanie's phone suddenly rang. He looked and saw that it was Auntie Vera calling, and quickly answered.
"Auntie Vera."
"Beanie, I was being too careless just now. I should have gone with you. Where are you now?
Where are you going? Send me the address. I'll get in a taxi and head there."
He really would rather she not come and ruin his plans, but he still nodded obediently and said, "Auntie Vera, we haven't arrived yet. I will send you an address when I have arrived."
"No, you send me the address now, I will be there just in time," she said.
"Okay, I'll send you the address via text message."
"Okay."
Sheridan looked at Beanie after he hung up the call.
"Was that your Auntie Vera that called?"
Beanie felt pleased, hearing him say "your Auntie Vera".
"Yes. Auntie Vera was a little worried about me."
Sheridan rubbed his nose and said, "It's true that I didn't handle this well. After all, we've only known each other for a while, but I brought you out Have you sent her the address? Is she coming?"
"Sir, are you not going to treat me to a meal if Auntie Vera comes? How about..."
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to a meal as promised."
"What if my order is too expensive?" Beanie asked again.
How expensive could a child's tastes be? Sheridan generously said, "Don't worry. Just order what you want. I can afford it."
"Oh, thank you then. It's really busy at Auntie Vera's restaurant. It would be better for her not to come."
"Well, that's okay," Sheridan said.
He thought to himself that if he appealed to Beanie well, the kid might put in a few good words for him. He would then stand a better chance.
After Vera had hung up the phone,
she waited for Beanie to send her an
address. However, he still had not sent the address after a good five minutes. She was a little worried, so she sent him a message and asked him why he had not sent her the address yet.
"Beanie, what's the address? Where are you now? How about you just share your location with me."
He was actually stalling for time because he had already sent his uncle the address, and had told him that he was going out with Auntie Vera's current date. There's no way he would still remain calm.
Therefore, when she had sent him the message, Beanie replied with a cute emoji and then said, "Auntie Vera, we are reaching our destination soon. Please hold on for a little while."
She was speechless when she received the message.
She had a bad feeling about this. Mabie had said that she was worried about Beanie, but Vera knew that only he would be willing to toy around with other people. Who would be able to fool him?
He had been procrastinating. It was obvious that he did not want to tell her where they had gone.
Why wouldn't he tell her? It could only be because the place they were going was not somewhere she was allowed to go!
