When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 153
Jenny glanced at the gift box, then said, “I’m getting old, Cole. I want a family and my own
kids.”
“I’m just like you, Jenny. I want a family of my own, too. We could try dating each other, and if everything goes well, we could get married and have kids,” Cole said as he stared at Jenny with eager eyes.
Jenny lowered her gaze and said, “My father has one request. If we get married, our first child, no matter boy or girl, has to take the Gibson last name.”
Cole’s face instantly changed.
“If you’re not willing, then there’s no point in continuing with dinner,” Jenny said as she picked up her bag. She looked like she was about to leave.
Cole instantly grabbed her arm and said, “I’m okay with that, Jenny. The child would be mine no matter whose last name they take. It’s just… I think my parents might not be happy about it. How about we have two kids. The first one will take your last name, and the second one will take mine.”
Jenny felt relieved after hearing Cole’s words.
“Would your parents agree to that?”
“I’ll change their minds. Listen to me, Jenny. After getting to know you the past few days, I’ve found myself completely infatuated with you. You’re elegant and generous. You’re also dignified and calm. You’re nothing at all like those young girls in their twenties. You’ve captivated me!”
Jenny blushed from the praise.
She accepted Cole’s gift.
“I’ve got this woman in the bag,” Cole thought.
Once he married into the Gibson family, his place in high society would be secure. He picked up his glass of wine and took a sip.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed the silhouette of a child.
It was the little girl who had mistaken him for her father yesterday!
Cole had never expected to see her again!
The little girl was holding hands with a boy who was slightly taller than her, and they were headed for the washroom.
“Excuse me, Jenny. I’m going to the washroom,” Cole said with a soft smile. He then got up and strode toward the little girl.
He caught up to her very quickly.
When Hayden heard the approaching of swift feet, he cautiously glanced behind him.
The moment he noticed Cole, he immediately pulled his sister into the women’s bathroom.
“Hayden! I don’t need to pee! Why did you take me in here? I just need to wash my hands!” Layla said with furrowed brows as she looked at her brother in confusion. “You’re a boy, Hayden. You can’t come into the girl’s bathroom!”
Hayden shot her a stern look, then said quietly, “Cole Foster’s out there.”
Layla’s hands shot to her mouth as worry flashed across her sparkling, obsidian eyes.
“What do we do, Hayden? Did he see me? He’s not here to catch me, is he?”
Hayden opened up the backpack he always carried around and pulled up a thin laptop.
“Lights out. Fire alarm,” he said calmly in a low voice.
Five minutes later, the lights in the restaurant went out.
A second later, the restaurant’s fire alarm went off. All of the customers poured out of the restaurant in a frenzy.
Avery was the only one who ran toward the bathrooms.
“Layla! Hayden!”
The children leisurely walked out of the bathroom.
One of the restaurant’s staff noticed them and cried out, “Miss! Please hurry and take your children out of here!”
Avery was so terrified that she felt faint.
It was a good thing the kids were safe.
She held Hayden’s hand in one hand and picked Layla up with the other, then hurried out of the restaurant.
At the same time, Cole saw the little girl from his car.
She was being carried in her mother’s arms.
The mother was also holding a little boy’s hand.
The car was parked quite a distance away, so Cole could not clearly see the little girl’s mother’s face.
However, the more he looked at the woman, the more he noted how familiar she looked.
