Personality V: I will save everything

Chapter 584: Strange Old Woman

“Pfft…hahahaha…”

Seeing William's silly look, Jake and Gangi couldn't hold back anymore and they laughed like children.

They found it particularly amusing when they recalled William's promise to secretly take their children out for ice cream.

After all, it is not easy to take the children to eat ice cream without being noticed under the close supervision of their two fathers.

Qiu Ke and Gangi looked at each other and saw a hint of curiosity and expectation in each other's eyes.

They all wanted to know what method William would come up with to accomplish this seemingly impossible task.

However, it turned out that William didn't think much about it at all.

In the end, Gange and Joke agreed with William's idea and asked him to take the children with him. Since they could all go together, Anne and Natasha also agreed.

.................................................. ........................

"You two little ones, please be careful and don't eat too much!"

Even though the ice cream was generously paid for by William, Gangi still made this request to Alessio and Strahl.

After all, the two little ones were still too young, and Gangi felt that they shouldn't eat as much as they wanted like Stellan and Inara.

Stellan and Inara are both seven years old and have relatively good self-control.

However, Alessio and Strahl are only three years old, their little stomachs have limited capacity, and their bodies are not yet fully developed and cannot withstand too much sugar and cold food.

Especially when Gangi saw that the bowl of ice cream was almost as big as the two little guys' heads, he became more determined in his idea.

Such a big bowl of ice cream is a huge challenge for a three-year-old!

So, Gangi decided to let only Alessio and Strahl share a bowl of ice cream, so that they could enjoy the delicious taste without putting too much burden on their bodies.

Normally, at a moment like this, two young children would have started to quarrel a lot, right? After all, young children often have difficulty controlling their emotions and behavior.

However, unexpectedly, the two little guys responded very obediently: "Okay, Dad, we'll eat it next time."

Their tone was calm and gentle, without any hint of dissatisfaction or protest.

This scene surprised everyone present, especially the lady sitting at the table next to them.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, sir, your two children are so well-behaved!" Her words revealed her admiration and envy for the two children.

At this moment, the lady seemed to remember her own children at home and couldn't help complaining:

"Our children are completely different. They just make trouble with us every day. I really don't understand why they make trouble. We have clearly promised them!"

There was a helpless expression on her face, and she was obviously quite troubled by her child's behavior.

"Well, do you want to hear a lie or the truth?" Gangi suddenly asked, leaving the lady confused. She couldn't help but frown and looked at Gangi in confusion, obviously not understanding why he asked such a strange question.

However, despite her doubts, the woman made a quick decision. She answered without hesitation: "I want to hear the truth."

Gangi smiled, as if he was not surprised by her choice. He continued:

"That's your own problem. I think you probably promised your children a lot of things, but never really fulfilled any of them. Or, before fulfilling them, you put forward various conditions, which made the children feel disappointed and helpless."

Ganji's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the lady's heart. Her face changed slightly, as if Ganji had hit the nail on the head.

Ganji did not give her a chance to breathe and continued:

"You always do this, going back on your word, and gradually wearing away the children's trust in you. Over time, they will feel that any agreement you make will not be successfully implemented. So, when you make some requests again, they will only desperately try to retain their immediate interests and no longer believe that you will fulfill your promises."

At this point, Gangi paused, then emphasized:

"But I treat my children differently. If I promise them something, I will do my best to complete it. They know that I will fulfill the promises I make, so they will naturally be very obedient because they trust me."

There are not so many disobedient children in the world; there are just irresponsible parents.

An agreement has clearly been made, but one is unwilling to fulfill it. Over time, one even blames the child for not trusting him. Whose fault is it?

.................................................. ........................

However, having said that, sometimes this may be the helplessness faced by families with twins.

Alessio and Strahl may be twin brothers, but they have very different tastes.

One likes chocolate flavor, while the other has a special liking for strawberry.

This puts them in a dilemma when choosing ice cream flavors.

Alessio thought to himself, "Stellar likes strawberry flavor, I should order strawberry flavored ice cream, that way he'll be happy."

Strahl thought to himself, "Alessio prefers chocolate flavor, so I'd better choose chocolate flavored ice cream, so that he can be satisfied."

In this way, both of them were thinking about each other, but they still couldn't make up their minds which flavor of ice cream to order.

As time passed, they were still hesitant, as if this simple decision was more difficult than climbing to the sky.

.................................................. ........................

Unable to bear it any longer, Stellan and Inara looked at each other, and they sighed at the same time in sync.

"Dad," Stellan suddenly raised his head and said to Jake in a clear voice, "I want chocolate flavored ice cream, and my sister wants strawberry flavored ice cream."

Inara smiled at Alessio and Stral and said gently, "Brothers, how about ordering the original flavor?"

In this way, wouldn't the problem be solved perfectly? Stellan and Inara are a little older and can each choose their favorite flavors.

Alessio and Stral were younger, so they could only order one ice cream, but they had different flavors.

In that case, can't Stellan and Inara just order the flavors that Alessio and Stral like?

Anyway, the two of them don't have any particular requirements for taste, so any flavor will do.

In fact, to be exact, Inara particularly likes original flavor ice cream.

She had eaten ice cream with jam on it before, but she would always secretly remove the jam for the adults before eating the white core with satisfaction.

As for Stellan, he actually didn’t like ice cream that much, he just wanted to enjoy this sweet and happy time with his younger brothers and sisters.

.................................................. ........................

Wow... these four kids are so cute! Each one is as cute as a little angel! (????)

At this moment, William's eyes suddenly became a little strange. Seeing this, Gangi's heart skipped a beat. He quickly walked forward and covered William's eyes with his hands.

You know, Gangi was really worried. He was afraid that William would faint on the spot because of the shock. That would be a big problem. Who would pay the bill then? (⊙﹏⊙)

Fortunately, the actual situation was not as bad as Gangi had imagined, and William did not faint.

But Anne was still a little worried. She came over with a worried look on her face, gently pulled William's arm, and asked with concern:

"William, are you really okay? I was really scared by what you did on the court just now. I was worried that you might have strained your muscles!"

Seeing this, William quickly comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine! Look, I'm fine!"

As he spoke, he deliberately showed off his muscles for Annie to see, to prove that he was indeed not injured.

"You'd better stop being so stubborn." Natasha gently hit William's head from behind, "Let's ask Lydia to help you later."

After all, some injuries are indeed like this. If you are not sterilized at the time, you will have a major outbreak after a period of time.

.................................................. ........................

Just as William turned his head and was about to say something else, he suddenly noticed that an old woman seemed to have fallen on the street.

"Old lady, are you... okay?" William's heart tightened and he quickly ran forward and asked with concern.

He squatted down, carefully helped the old woman up, and then helped her pick up the things scattered on the ground one by one.

However, when he saw those things, he couldn't help being a little surprised - the basket was actually filled with candies, toys and stones! What a strange combination!

Although he was full of doubts, William did not ask any more questions. He just quickly put the things in order and put them back in the basket. At this time, the old woman slowly raised her head and looked at William gratefully.

At this moment, William suddenly felt that the old woman in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. He couldn't help but blurt out: "It seems..."

However, William did not think about it too much. He quickly came to his senses, continued to help the old woman pick up the things, and helped her stand up.

After confirming that the old woman was in good health, William said goodbye to her and turned to leave.

.................................................. ........................

"William, what were you talking about just now?" Qiu Ke looked at William with a puzzled look, and seemed to be very interested in what he had just muttered.

Although William's voice was very soft, Jack's hearing was extremely sharp and he still caught William's words clearly.

"Oh, the old woman's eyes just now have heterochromia. At first glance, I felt that they were quite similar to Kreacher's eyes, and also to that kid named Richard." William explained, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

However, at this time, no one thought too much about this issue, because although people with heterochromia are relatively rare, they do not completely non-existent.

And, more importantly, "Kreacher's eyes are not naturally heterochromatic, have you forgotten? He just lost an eye and got a prosthetic eye instead." Natasha reminded, pointing to her left eye.

"Hey, but you say that if Kreacher's eye is naturally heterochromic, then the person just now wouldn't be a family member he has never met, right?" Joke said half-jokingly.

"You're right. I remember Kreacher once said that he had been wandering the streets since he was a child." Gangi interrupted, "But here's the problem. He couldn't have been a teenager when he was born. He must have gone through a baby period. Then who took care of him during that time?"

This question made everyone silent and start to think seriously. Indeed, Kreacher's life experience has always been a mystery. He never mentioned his family, and no one knew how he survived on the streets.

"Maybe he is an abandoned child?" Anne guessed.

"Or maybe something bad happened to his family?" Natasha suggested another possibility.

Various speculations emerged, and everyone's imagination was fully stimulated, but there was still no definite answer.

"Oh no, that's bad!" The forward realized that the old lady had already walked away. "It's over. If I had known, the hero would have asked her carefully."

Judging from the forward's tone, he seemed to have determined that the old woman just now might be Kreacher's family member whom he had never met.
