Chapter: 1217
"Sir Rhys, I’d like to introduce you to my wife, Cecilia, and my daughter, Haley."
"Hello, Cecilia." Dustin nodded at her with a smile.
"Mr. Rhys, I’ve prepared a simple meal. I hope it’ll suit your taste," she said shyly.
Dustin might be young, but he was still her husband’s boss.
"Uncle Dustin, my mom makes the best food! Quick! Try it!" Haley urged, excitement showing on her face.
"Is that so? Then I’ll have to give it a taste!"
Dustin smiled and took the lunchbox. Then, he took a big bite of the food.
"It really is delicious!" he praised.
"See, I wasn’t lying, right?" Haley giggled as she looked up at Dustin, appearing very proud of herself.
"Mr. Rhys, I have a request. I hope you’ll be able to grant it," Cecilia said hesitantly.
"Please go ahead, Cecilia."
Dustin put down the food and looked at her with a serious expression.
"It’s Haley’s birthday tomorrow. I’d like to request a day off for Nelson so he can take her to a theme park for some fun," she said carefully.
"I’d thought it was something serious. Of course, that wouldn’t be a problem!" Dustin agreed with a smile.
"Yay! We’re going to the theme park tomorrow!" Haley cheered excitedly when she heard Dustin’s reply.
She didn’t forget to thank him sincerely too.
"Thank you, Uncle Dustin! I wish you the best of luck and happiness and that you can rest in peace."
"Rest in peace?" Natasha was first taken aback for a moment before she burst into laughter.
The child was too entertaining!
"What nonsense are you spouting? I think you mean to wish him a good and peaceful rest!" Nelson shot her a look and quickly corrected her.
"I’m so sorry, Mr. Rhys! She didn’t mean what she said. Please don’t take it to heart," Cecilia immediately apologized.
She worried he might be offended to hear something like that when he was hospitalized.
"That’s alright. She means no harm." Dustin smiled warmly, not offended in the least.
"Uncle Dustin, it’s my birthday tomorrow. Will you join us to celebrate my birthday?" Haley cocked her head and asked innocently.
"Sure! I’ll be there!" Dustin ruffled her hair affectionately and agreed with a smile.
