Chapter 657 - I'm Not Weak!
At around 5:30 pm Titania left Miller's company and proceeded to the Creamline restaurant without knowing that someone was already following her.
Her Boss was already inside when Titania arrived. She changed her clothes and started serving customers.
Titania was wondering if Ella and Zu Wan were just doing fine. She left some money for the two to buy their food.
"I think I should make a call and check on them. This is the first time Ella didn't call me for the whole afternoon. Is she having fun with Zu Wan?" Titania couldn't help but smile at that thought.
She moved to the restaurant's stockroom to call Ella. It rang several times before it was answered by her daughter.
Ella: "Hello, Mom!!!"
Her cheerful voice reverberated from the other line. It seemed that Ella was really in a good mood right now.
Titania: "My princess! Don't you miss your Mom? I haven't received your message this afternoon. I guess you have forgotten all about me since you have Zu Wan now."
Titania pretended to be sad. Then she heard Ella's giggle on the phone.
Ella: "Mom, don't be sad! Of course, I didn't forget about you. It's just that father and I enjoyed our moments together. We played at the park the whole afternoon! We just got home, Mom. I was about to call you. But you called me first."
Ella spoke spontaneously as she explained her side to her mother. Titania's lips curled up into a gentle smile. All her worries and exhaustion would disappear whenever she would hear Ella's little sweet voice.
She was her strength. She could endure everything for her daughter.
Titania: "Alright. Mom will not be sad anymore if you will give me a kiss!"
Ella: "Mwuah! Mwuah! Mwuah!"
Ella was very obedient, giving her three kisses right away just to console her mother.
Titania: "Thank you, my dear little angel."
"Is that your mother?" Titania heard Zu Wan's voice.
Her heart suddenly jumped inside her chest upon hearing his deep voice. She had to admit that Zu Wan was a very good-looking guy.
So far, he was the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her entire life.
Titania was about to ask Ella if they already ate dinner or not when suddenly she heard Zu Wan's voice once again. This time he was no longer talking to Ella, but her.
Zu Wan: "Are you there, Titania?"
Titania was taken aback for a moment. It took her several seconds before she was able to respond to him.
Titania: "Yes, it's me…"
Her voice sounded shy and weak. Unknown to her, Ella intentionally passed the phone to Zu Wan so that they could talk together.
Zu Wan didn't know how to use the phone but Ella taught him. Surprisingly, his body was familiar with how to use the phone. FaMo had watched Tristan teaching Zhen-Zhen before.
What Zhen-Zhen learned when it came to gadgets, FaMo also learned those things. And for some unknown reason, Zu Wan's body seemed to remember those things although his mind had no recollection of it.
There was a moment of silence between Titania and Zu Wan. Both were speechless and didn't know what to say to each other.
Zu Wan was still thinking about how Titania looked like his wife, Eva. He wanted to know about this phenomenon.
He even thought that Titania and Ella might be his family and something might have happened that's why the three of them were sent to this new world. There might be a reason why Titania and Ella couldn't remember him.
Whatever it was, he would try to discover everything and unfold the truth. So for now, while he was recovering his lost powers, he would stick with the mother and daughter.
Zu Wan was still lost in his thoughts when Titania had spoken again.
Titania: "Where is Ella, Mr. Zu Wan?"
Her voice snapped him back to the present.
Zu Wan: "She went inside her room. She said she will take a quick shower."
Titania smiled because her daughter could take care of herself even without her mother helping her. She was very independent at this young age. She was so proud of her daughter.
Titania: "She might have sweat a lot after playing the whole afternoon. I hope she didn't get you tired. You just got discharged from the hospital. You are still weak."
Zu Wan: "I am not weak!"
Zu Wan reacted almost immediately. He hated it when Titania called him weak. He misunderstood her.
Titania: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it the wrong way. I'm just worried about you."
Titania tried to explain right away after hearing the displeasure in Zu Wan's voice.
Meanwhile Zu Wan realized his mistake. He didn't mean to sound annoyed or irritated. It just came out of his mouth too sudden.
Zu Wan: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice. But don't worry about me. I can handle myself. I will recover my strength soon. I will show you!"
Titania was rendered speechless. She didn't know what he meant by saying he would show her. Show her what? His strength? But how?
Subconsciously, a blush made its way on Titania's face as she thought about something.
'Oh no! Why am I thinking about this? When did I get this lewd mind of mine?' Titania scolded herself while gently smacking her head.
Titania: "Have you both eaten dinner?"
She decided to change the topic.
Zu Wan: "Yes, we ate outside before going home. How about you?"
Titania: "I will eat here at my work during my break time."
After Titania said those words, another moment of silence visited them. She didn't know how to prolong the conversation. Strangely, she found it nice talking to Zu Wan.
She was about to say another word when the door of the stockroom swung open. Her boss came inside.
"Titania, you are here! I've been looking for you. What are you doing here?" Her boss looked around, making sure that his wife was not there. Then he moved closer to Titania.
"Nothing Boss, I'm just looking for a mop," Titania said as an alibi. She might get scolded if he learned that she was talking on the phone.
Without ending the call, Titania placed her phone in her pocket.
