A lot of things were left unsaid. Tang Feng didn't think his words would have much of an effect on Gino but it would at least allow the man to reflect clearly on the past and leave Fiennes' shadow behind as quickly as possible. He was certain Gino would one day leave his memories of Fiennes in the past, he only hoped that it would happen sooner.

He was willing to become friends with Gino, but anything more and it was better to leave it.

"How come there weren't as many people who confessed to me in my previous life?" Tang Feng thought as he dressed in front of a mirror.

He'd had no scenes to film the last few days so he'd had time to focus on other things. Yesterday, Little Annie called to invite him over to her house. He couldn't go last time because he was visiting Fiennes' grave so if he rejected her again, he might really hurt the little girl's feelings. Tang Feng couldn't bear to be so cruel to a cute, innocent child and he had a few days off, so he readily accepted.

Annie's home in Philadelphia was only two hours from Tang Feng's apartment. Tang Feng planned to go over there today, stay the night, and then take a coach back the next morning.

"Your previous life? It sounds like you didn't feel very welcome in your previous life, you were over the moon at Lu Tian Chen's confession, my pitiful darling." There was no one who could speak so smoothly in such a frivolous tone but Charles. The man was wearing light gray lounge wear and while leaning against the doorjamb. Who knew when he'd come over; compared to Lu Tian Chen, Charles was the real idler.

"That's right, before I fell into the water, there weren't many people wanting me." As he finished dressing, Tang Feng walked to the bedside to put on his watch and check the time. It was 8 AM. He could make it to Little Annie's before lunch.

"It seems I'm the one who really discovered your charm, darling."

"Oh, thank you." Taking out the box of delicate desserts he bought yesterday from the drawer as a visitor's gift, Tang Feng headed for the doorway. When he shifted sideways to pass by Charles, the latter pulled at his arm.

"I really like kids." Charles stated while smiling brilliantly, "Especially cute little girls."

Why did his expression look so sinister to Tang Feng?

"What a creepy uncle." Tang Feng shook his head and freed himself from Charles' grasp to go downstairs.

Seeing Lu Tian Chen, who was sitting at the table reading the newspaper,
Tang Feng asked "I'm going to Little

Annie's house for two days, are you coming?"

Charles followed behind him and coldly sneered.

Lu Tian Chen peered over the newspapers and indifferently replied, "I dislike children."

♦️

"Do you really like little girls?" Lu Tian Chen asked while sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed.

"No, I hate children." Charles sat in a similar pose beside Lu Tian Chen. They were both looking outside at Tang Feng who was playing water guns with Annie through the French window. They couldn't really understand what was so fun about a dumb, stubborn kid. Not only did kids at four or five years old not listen to anything, most of them became little devils after being spoiled by their parents.

Lu Tian Chen didn't like children because he lacked the patience to play and communicate with them.

Charles didn't like children because kids shouting and screaming and jumping around resembled sparrows, making him annoyed.
