She just knew that Alice wouldn’t let her down.

…

Hale Bennett stood in the garden, hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the moon.

And in his dark eyes, too, the bright moon was reflected.

“Director.”

A voice suddenly appeared in the air.

Hale Bennett remained expressionless, “Go ahead.”

The assistant stood nearby, “I’ve checked Sweetie’s itinerary in Country Polluton, everything is quite normal and doesn’t attract any unwarranted attention.”

“Who has she met?”

The assistant continued, “After arriving in Country Polluton, Sweetie first went to see the stray cats and dogs, then feasted grandly at Food City. After eating, she went to the arcade, and then Mr. Ettinger spotted her. While Mr. Ettinger was chasing Sweetie, she almost knocked over a pedestrian.”

Who would care about a pedestrian anyway.

Not even the meticulous Hale Bennett did.

Hearing this, Hale Bennett narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the assistant, “Is that all?”

“Yes,” the assistant nodded, “That’s all.”

With that, the assistant added, “Director, do you think we should continue to track her?”

“Hmm.”

For some reason, Hale Bennett always felt something wasn’t quite right about this matter.

Sweetie was a lot smarter than her peers.

From her expression at the time, Hale Bennett could tell that she must have experienced something that surprised her greatly.

It’s just that she didn’t want to say it.

—

Mr. Ettinger had finally given himself a day off, Sweetie certainly couldn’t waste it.

Today’s schedule was very simple.

Go to Country Polluton to find Gemma.

Sweetie had brought the Milk Tea that Gemma liked.

She remembered many years ago.

Gemma had been criticized by Elder Si for liking Milk Tea.

Although Sweetie was young, she could tell that Elder Si really didn’t like Gemma.

Nasty old man!

No taste at all.

Poor Gemma still kept trying to make Elder Si recognize her.

Fortunately, later on, Gemma stopped doing such futile things.

Thinking of this, Sweetie felt a bit better and hummed softly, “My Gemma is no fool! Nasty old man!”

No sooner had these words fallen than Barton Turner’s voice appeared, “Sweetie, who are you cursing?”

Since Barton Turner had heard her, Sweetie didn’t deny it and looked up with a giggle, “Cara Turner, I’m cursing that nasty old man!”

“Which nasty old man?” Barton Turner curiously asked.

Sweetie continued, “Oh, Cara Turner, you don’t need to ask, after all, even if I told you, you wouldn’t know him.”

Elder Si was the elder sister of Barton Turner.

If Barton Turner found out she was cursing her grandfather, she reckoned her legs wouldn’t be spared.

Luckily for her, Barton Turner wasn’t someone who talked much and followed up, “Where are you off to?”

“Out to play,” Sweetie said with great excitement, “Cara Turner, Mr. Ettinger gave me a day off today!”

Barton Turner frowned subtly, “Did you skip classes again?”

With Mr. Ettinger’s character, he definitely wouldn’t give Sweetie a day off lightly.

“No, no,” Sweetie immediately claimed her innocence, “Cara Turner, if you don’t believe me, you can call Mr. Ettinger to check!”

After speaking, Sweetie added, “Mr. Ettinger wouldn’t have given me the day off, but luckily, Hale Brother pleaded for me, so Mr. Ettinger then gave me a day off.”

Upon hearing this, shock covered Barton Turner’s face.

She hadn’t expected that Hale Bennett, who always appeared strictly self-disciplined, secretly had such a fondness for children.

Barton Turner crouched down, held Sweetie’s shoulders, and looked her in the eye with a smile, “Sweetie, did Hale Brother say anything else to you?”

Sweetie shook her head.

A moment later, Sweetie sighed and continued, “Cara Turner, I don’t think you should be a researcher.”

Barton Turner was taken aback, then asked, “What should I be?”

“Go picking wild vegetables.”

Sweetie went on.

Picking wild vegetables?

Barton Turner was stunned again.

She really didn’t understand what that meant.

Seeing this, Sweetie shook her head in resignation, “How could a love-brained person understand what picking wild vegetables means?”

Upon hearing this, Barton Turner smiled helplessly.

This little one keeps calling her love-brained, but did she even know what love was?

So adorably clueless.

Having said that, Sweetie continued, “Cara Turner, do you know what you look like right now?”

“Like what?” Barton Turner asked.
