He doesn't want to answer the call. But knowing his mom, she would not stop storming him with many questions and nag him to death.

Vincent swiped the green button and drew close the phone into his ear. "Hello, mom?"

"Vincent, you must come to London as soon as possible." In the other line, none other than Hilda Shen demanding her son.

It surprised him. "What did you say, mom? Are you in London as of this very moment?"

"Yes, I am. Your sister will give birth soon. Why? Can't I'll be here?" Hilda philosophically questions Vincent.

And he pursed his lips with a bitter smile. "Of course, you can, mom. I'm just happy to know."

'But you didn't care when your other daughter needed a family.' However, Vincent didn't voice it out. He already knew what would happen if he expressed his honest thoughts.

"That's why hurry to come here," said the other line.

Vincent replied, "Okay, mom. Did dad came too?"

"No. He had a lot of business engagements." Hilda sighed. And Vincent noticed the indifferent tone of his mom.

"Then I should go back to P Country as soon as possible," he stated. However, at the back of his head wanted to prolong his stay in Budapest. But now that his mom was in England, he needs to warn Sheena.

Hilda is still angry at her youngest daughter. Now she is even madder because Sheena prefers to marry an ordinary guy.

Vincent grows worried. Sheena and Stephen, along with Lena, will fly to London to meet Deena and have their honeymoon.

If anything, he must protect Sheena once their mom is throwing a tantrum after meeting Stephen for the first time, and she mistreats him. Their mom never likes him.

Vincent heaves a helpless sighed. He glanced at Hailey, who was entertaining other customers.

Ah, he forgot about his lemonades, which he didn't pay for it yet! And now he cannot ask her out! Even if he could make her say yes, he needs to take care of something, a family matter.

"Vincent, are you still there?" Hilda asked her son when a long silence had passed, and Vincent didn't speak anymore.

"Yes, mom. I was only thinking about something, mom. I need to check if what available flight tomorrow." Vincent finds an excuse for his mom to end the call soon.

"Okay. The sooner, the better," said Hilda.

"Alright, mom." Sadness flashed in his eyes. Gladly he wore sunglasses, and he could hide the loneliness that exhibits behind them.

It saddens him he could not ask Hailey to go out. It seems like his life hasn't permitted him to enjoy for a moment.

After the call, Vincent slipped his phone back into his pocket. Great timing and Hailey was now available.

"How much the large lemonade and one box of lemon pie?" He asked Hailey, and the girl gave him the total of his order. "Here, I only have these bills. Please, take it. I hope it can help a little."

Hailey counted a total of seven hundred US dollars. She burst out, "This is too much!"

"I hope I had more cash here." Vince smiled at Hailey, who returned a warm smile at him.

Tearing her mouth with that kind of smile made his heart skip a beat and sighing, 'She looks even beautiful.'

Vincent noticed Hailey scanned him from the head down to his shoes. It seems that Hailey we're not convinced he is only an ordinary guy to give that kind of amount. But he hopes that his impression is that he is generous enough to share his only cash inside his wallet. And that was true. All left in his purse now is credit cards, but he had nothing to worry about if he ran out of cash.
