Chapter 1630
“Huh?” The waiter, a tall kid with a lovely head of blond hair, looked baffled. “Isn’t this your private room? This little girl claims she belongs here. Miss, are you sure this is your place?”
Lea lifted her angelic face to look at Byran as her eyes welled up with innocence and confusion, yet she remained silent.
Byran studied the lost little girl.
“Are you sure you’ve got the right place?” He asked gently.
Lea simply shook her head.
The waiter seemed a bit flustered. “Sir, perhaps you could ask your companions if they recognize this little girl?”
Byran scoffed. “Impossible! Would I not recognize my own kin? This little lass is definitely not from our group.”
The waiter gave a resigned nod. “Alright then… My apologies for the inconvenience. Miss, you must have mistaken them for someone else. Let me guide you to the next private room.”
As he moved to guide Lea away, the little girl stubbornly stayed in place.
The waiter sighed. “Miss, you’re mistaken. Your mother isn’t here, and these folks don’t know you.”
At that moment, Byran brought ‘Adrian’ back into the booth and was about to close the door when Lea suddenly lunged forward. Her small hands held onto the door, preventing it from closing.
Byran quickly stopped, in fear of hurting the little girl’s hands. “What’s going on? You want to lose your hands?”
The waiter quickly checked Lea’s hands to ensure she wasn’t injured. He turned to Byran, bowing apologetically. “I’m sorry for the scare. I’ll remove her immediately.” However, Lea was desperate to get a glimpse of Tristan’s mother.
“Little lady, come on now. Your mom isn’t here.” The waiter coaxed her, attempting to guide Lea away.
But the little girl clung onto the door, refusing to budge.
Byran looked on, utterly perplexed by the peculiar little girl.
Just then, a soft, melodious voice called from within the booth. “What’s going on? Who’s at the door?”
Ellinor noticed her young son and Byran lingering at the door instead of joining them for dinner. She stood up and walked over to see what was happening.
She saw Lea, and Lea saw her.
Ellinor looked at Lea curiously and turned to Byran as she asked, “Who’s child is this? Do you know her?”
Byran quickly shook his head. “I don’t know her, but she insists that she’s part of our party and refuses to leave.”
A frown creased Ellinor’s forehead. She looked at Lea and asked, “Who are you? Do you know us?”
Lea fixed her beautiful, wide eyes on Ellinor. A hint of excitement welled up within them as she nodded vigorously. “I know you!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You know me?”
Byran crossed his arms. “Sis, so she knows you, huh?”
After releasing the waiter’s hand, Lea grabbed Ellinor’s. “I know you! I’ve finally found you!”
Ellinor looked at Lea, feeling completely at a loss. She didn’t recall knowing this little girl.
Byran frowned. “Sis, where did you find this little sister of yours?”
Ellinor shot Byran a cold glare, clearly annoyed by his incessant chattering.
The waiter was completely baffled. “I’m sorry, but could you please tell me if this little girl really belongs to your group or not?”
