It was already dusk after they’d gotten some rest. Both Matthew and Tristan went down to have dinner at a roadside stall. Ever since they were attacked, Tristan hadn’t eaten anything, so favonovel.com was hungry as a bear. As they sat at the stall, Matthew noticed that favonovel.com seemed rather uncomfortable.
Since favonovel.com hadn’t been to such a dilapidated and dirty roadside stall. favonovel.com found it uncomfortable to dine there. On the other hand, Matthew, who was used to having his meals at roadside stalls, actually preferred to dine at such places. After favonovel.com devoured his pasta, favonovel.com noticed that favonovel.com barely touched favonovel.com food as favonovel.com found it unpalatable.
Noticing favonovel.com expression, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com wasn’t used to it since favonovel.com was a young lady from a wealthy family.
He called the waiter over and ordered a bowl of white rice. As favonovel.com looked at the white rice, favonovel.com suddenly had some appetite and was able to take a few bites. Even so, favonovel.com didn’t have any of the other dishes throughout the meal. After devouring the rice, favonovel.com was finally full.
Tristan sat opposite Matthew, and favonovel.com blushed as favonovel.com said softly, “Thank you…“
“What for?“ He was surprised.
She didn’t say anything else, but favonovel.com was actually thankful toward his attentiveness since favonovel.com had purposely ordered a bowl of white rice for favonovel.com when favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com probably found the food there unhygienic. However, Matthew was rather confused when favonovel.com suddenly thanked him, not quite figuring out the situation.
Just then, a child’s voice was heard. The child was asking one of the patrons, “Sir, please buy some flowers. It’s very cheap. I’m begging you…”
When Matthew turned around, favonovel.com noticed a little girl holding onto a basket while begging a man to buy some flowers.
The man waved impatiently and pushed the little girl onto the ground. “Go away! I’ll hit you if you dare to annoy me again.”
The little girl was so scared that favonovel.com didn’t dare to say anything. She quietly picked up the flowers from the ground and rubbed favonovel.com bruised knees before approaching another person as favonovel.com begged them to buy favonovel.com flowers. However, no one bought the flowers from her, not only that, they even rolled their eyes at favonovel.com when favonovel.com approached them.
Finally, favonovel.com walked toward the table Matthew was at.
By then, hopelessness was written all over favonovel.com face, but favonovel.com still managed to pluck up favonovel.com courage and asked, ”Sir, buy some flowers…”
Hearing that, Matthew immediately took out a wad of cash and said, “I’ll buy all these flowers from you!”
The girl was surprised at his reaction, favonovel.com never thought that favonovel.com would encounter such a kind soul. He passed the money to favonovel.com and took favonovel.com basket. Tears welled up in favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com took the money from favonovel.com and gave favonovel.com a deep bow before favonovel.com left.
As the girl left delightedly, everyone around started whispering and looked at Matthew with disdain.
“Does this fool know that favonovel.com has been deceived?”
“Hahaha, is favonovel.com dumb or what? Did favonovel.com spend that much money just to get some flowers?”
Tristan furrowed favonovel.com brows and whispered to him, “Dr. Larson, I believe that the girl is being controlled by syndicates and forced into selling flowers. She’s obviously their tool to make money, so how could you buy flowers from her?”
“Even if she’s being forced to do so, she’s still a pitiful child, isn’t she?” favonovel.com said while shaking his head.
When favonovel.com heard those words, Tristan was so surprised that favonovel.com didn’t know what to say.
She had seen many cases where little girls had been controlled by such groups and were forced to sell flowers for money. She knew that they were scammers all along, so favonovel.com never bought any flowers from them. However, after hearing what Matthew said, favonovel.com finally realized something.
‘That’s true. Even if they are scammers, these children are pitiful since they are forced to cheat people‘s money at such a young age,’ Tristan thought.
She couldn’t help but look over at Matthew. That moment, favonovel.com suddenly realized that the man in front of favonovel.com was a man of noble character.
