“Oh?” Paxon Chevy raised his eyebrows, showing a sign of interest and wondering what this little wimpy boy was going to say next. “Mr. Chevy, now I have a happiness for you to sign for.” David smiled innocently and cutely, as if he was really a postman delivering a parcel of joy. “How can I sign for it?” Paxon wasn’t in hurry and it seemed the boy had altered his bad mood. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t spend a second on some annoying strangers on the street.

“We have a situation here, my mother just got released from the hospital today, but we cannot find a taxi. Look. she is carrying so many heavy things. It will be a hardship for us to take the subway, you have a car, why don’t you try us home?” David smiled sweetly, took out a colorful lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Paxon. “I am giving this lollipop to you. It is very valuable to me and I have been keeping it, can you please drive us home? He walked close to Paxon, stretched his hand with his lollipop and tugged his jacket with another hand.

Icy was shocked by David’s unexpected behaviours and she didn’t know what to say. How could he talk to a stranger like this? “Please accept my apology. Mr Chevy. I didn’t watch him closely, please just ignore him,” And then she turned to David, “Didn’t mama teach you not to disturb other people?” Icy was scared because she knew what kind of person Paxon Chevy was; if they antagonized him, their lives would be more difficult in the future.

“But mama, you also taught me that when we encountered troubles, we should look for help.” Now he wanted to seek help from this man with a nice car. David pursed his lips disappointingly , after he heard his mom.

“No problem, Please get in the car.” Paxon was suddenly in a better mood ; he reached out and took the lollipop from the little boy and replied, “This is the payment.” “It isn’t necessary…” Icy said embarrassingly, but David interrupted her, “ Yea! Thank you very much, uncle Chevy.” Before his mother could say more, David climbed into Paxon ‘s car and sat in the passenger seat.

This was indeed a tough decision to make. Should I get in his car? What would happen if Shirley find out Paxson driving her and her boy? But David was already sitting inside…

“Now what? Do you want me to come open the door for you and help you get in?” Paxson gave Icy an appreciable glance. What was she waiting for? What was in her mind? Her boy already had his seat belt fastened.

“Thank you very much, I really appreciate your kind assistance.” Icy took a deep breath, climbed into his car and buckled the seat belt. “Uncle Chevy, our home address is Garden Avenue No.9.” David was so happy to see his mother finally sitting in the car with him. “Okay, let’s go!” Paxon nodded and pressed the gas. On the way home, all three of them were almost completely silent, only little David occasionally said few words.

“Where is the patient in room 302?” Hosea Lindley made haste to the hospital as soon as he was off from work. He found the room empty and he went talk to a nurse. “That lady with a boy had already been discharged at six in the afternoon.” The nurse read the record of room 302 and said to herself, this patient seemed to have many wealthy boyfriends.

“She has left? How can she be discharged so soon? She obviously has not recuperated from her head injury yet.” Hosea furrowed his eyebrows; his face turned pale. She was hurt and was hospitalized this morning. How could this esteemed hospital let her leave within one day? This didn’t make sense at all.

“I am so sorry, Sir, She insisted to go and she followed standard procedure, there isn’t much we can do to stop her.” The nurses apologized to Hosea, but they all knew that Icy could go if she wanted; after all she wasn’t a prisoner.

“It’s okay. I should be the one to say sorry, Maybe I have overreacted.” Hosea realized that he was bad attitude and apologized to the nurse immediately. “Nevermind,” The nurse smiled and thought, an handsome guy was cute when angry. Hosea failed to find Icy, phoned her mobile but but no one answered; he felt so worried and immediately drove to Garden Avenue N0.9.

On the other hand, Paxon Chevy had delivered the mother and her son home safely. “Thank you very much, uncle Chevy, you are a nice guy.” David jumped off the car happily and waved goodbye to Paxon. “I must say thank you to you for driving us home,” Icy politely bowed to him, who wasn’t accustomed to her good manner. Why did she become so well mannered suddenly? It wasn’t like her at all.

“You don’t need to thank me,” Pax was in bad mood and had nothing to do, or you can say he couldn’t do anything when he was in bad mood. Now driving Icy and her boy home was like a leisure ride or promenade, which had cheered him up.

“Uncle Chevy, have you eaten dinner yet?” David's eyes suddenly glittered, tugging Paxon’s trousers. “Can you stop that? Why do you always wrench my pants when talking?” Pax lowered his head and gazed at the boy. What was his problem? Why did he tug people when talking?” “Yea… am sorry…” David felt embarrassed and stopped, “I am sorry, uncle, I didn’t mean harm, You haven’t answer me if you have eaten dinner yet..." Although Paxon Chevy already expressed his impatience and uneasiness, the little boy wasn’t scared or intimidated; he just acted normally and said whatever he felt like to say.

“No, I haven’t.” He had been pondering in his car before they met, and then he drove them home; how could he have time to eat dinner? “That’s good, my mother is going to cook, it will be quick, why don’t you stay longer and eat together?” David didn’t only know how to ask for help; he also knew when to return favour. “Dinner with you in your house?” A scene of a family, two parents and one kid eating dinner together, suddenly emerged in Paxon’s mind; he was stunned and didn’t know what to say.

“Yea, my mama cooks delicious food; also, you have sent us home, I think we must show you appreciation for your kindness.” Little David nodded his head and then unconsciously tagged Pax’s trousers again. He lowered his head and thought for a second; it was silly and ridiculous to argue with him or reject his invitation. Furthermore, it was time to eat.

“Okay, let’s eat together.” Strangely, Paxon couldn’t explain logically why he promised this little wimpy kid to stay to eat; he felt like he was being pushed by an invisible hand to enter their house. Even Icy Wilkinson was trying to come up with some reasons to dismiss David’s invitation; before she could say anything, Paxon agreed to stay.

Now Icy had no choice but to welcome their guest warmly with some good tea and delicious food. As soon as they entered the house, Icy scrambled into the kitchen and started preparing dinner; in the living room, little David refused to leave his guest alone; he brought some of his favourite toys such as lego and some action figures, and he insisted that Mr Chevy to play with him.

Paxon scrutinized their home; the light was yellow and warm; the happy voice of a child; and the silhouette of Icy who was busy preparing their dinner; the sound of washing and chopping food from the kitchen; all of these combinations gave a strong feeling of being home; and this was exactly everything a man long for.

Finally, Hosea Lindley arrived at their doorstep. He was relieved when he saw the warm yellow light radiating from the window of their living room. Hosea straightened his suit and knocked on the door. Noticing someone knocking on the door, David passed his toy to Pax and then rushed to the vestibule . “Who is it? I am coming!!!”The boy yelled. Icy leaned out from the kitchen and said to her boy, “Little bunny, don’t open until you know who it is.” “It is the big grey wolf, uncle Lindley!” David replied to his mother joyfully　. Hosea was very happy and cheerful when he heard little David's voice.
