Translator: 549690339
The next morning, Enna Clark watched as Bobby entered kindergarten. As soon as she turned around to head to the radio station, she accidentally bumped into soone.
“I’m sorry, excuse .”
A mature and calm male voice with a hint of laughter ca from overhead, “It’s okay. You must be Tobias’s mom, right?”
Enna looked up and noticed the man standing in front of her was about 1.8
ters tall. He was probably in his early thirties, wearing gold-rimd glasses, and exuded an intelligent air.
She vaguely recognized him, but couldn’t imdiately recall where she had seen him before. The man in front of her extended his hand, “Hello, my na is Wyndham Howell. I am the father of Rose Howell, who is Tobias’s classmate.
Do you rember seeing at the school entrance yesterday?”
Yesterday, at the school entrance…Enna suddenly rembered who he was.
Feeling a bit awkward, she shook his hand and introduced herself, “Enna Clark,
mother of Toby…Tobias Clark. Thank you, Mr. Howell, for keeping my son company for so long yesterday.”
Wyndham smiled warmly and replied surprisingly candidly, “It was actually Rose who insisted on waiting with Tobias. She knew his mom would be working late and didn’t want him to feel alone. As a father, I had no choice but to accompany my princess in her wait.”
Although Wyndham wasn’t particularly handso, his deanor and speech were very comfortable. During their first conversation, he didn’t co across as overly friendly or too aloof. He was mature and humorous, exuding an easygoing charm, like a friendly neighbor. Enna couldn’t help but feel at ease.
Embarrassnt gone, Enna smiled and explained, “Yesterday, I got off work quite late, and there was so traffic on the way, so I arrived later than expected. Still, I must thank Mr. Howell for spending so much ti with Tobias.”
Ignoring her gratitude, Wyndham suddenly asked, “I heard from Tobias that
Miss Clark is a host?”
Enna guessed that little Tobias had intentionally only ntioned that she was a host, leaving out the fact that she was a radio host, the lowest-ranking occupation among hosts.
She didn’t mind, though. Jobs don’t determine a person’s worth, and she was supporting her family through her own hard work as a radio host. She replied openly, “Yes, I’m a radio host.”
“BBC Traffic Broadcast’s City Helper? I’ve listened to a few of your shows, and your hosting style is quite humorous.” Wyndham finished his sentence and, ignoring her surprised expression, invited her with a smile, “Miss Clark, you must be on your way to work now? Our hospital is nearby. Would you mind hitching a ride with ?”
“Um…”
“I don’t have any ulterior motives. I just think that Tobias and Rose are in the sa class and usually get along well. Since it’s on my way, I thought I’d offer Miss Clark a ride. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to ignore my invitation.”
Seeing that he had put it this way, Enna would have seed too conceited if she refused. After a mont of thought, she nodded and said, “Thank you, Mr. Howell.”
“No trouble at all.”
Without giving it much thought, Enna followed him. For one thing, she knew herself well enough not to flatter herself that she was so attractive that n would go out of their way to prey on her. Secondly, it was true that there was a Class A hospital near the radio station. Wyndham hadn’t lied. Thirdly, she had forgotten to charge her electric bike last night and was indeed in a rush to get to work.
After the rcedes-Benz stopped in front of the radio station, Enna got out of the car, thanked Wyndham Howell once more, grabbed her bag, and went into
the office….
