Chapter 1628
Bryan pouted. "But | still want to go up and see for myself..." "No! You have only two choices now." Lilin raised
one finger. "One is to letgo upstairs for you to take a look." She then raised another finger. "And two is for us
to go back together with neither of us going upstairs."
Bryan had no choice but to compromise. "Okay! You go, then."
Lilin grinned. "Alright, you just have to trust me!"
Jeremy's eyes were fixed on the restroom door. He did not even notice Sophia piling food on his plate. It was not
until he saw Bryan coming out of the bathroom and returning to the table obediently that he felt relieved.
Melinda, however, was confused. "Benjamin, why did you cback alone? Where's Lilin?" "Aunt Lilin said that
she suddenly had a stomach ache and wanted to poop, so she askedto cback first," answered

Melinda was embarrassed when she heard that. 'That Lilin should know better! Everyone is eating here, yet she
asked Benjamin to tell everyone she's pooping... Doesn't she know that a kid Benjamin's age soaks up
everything they hear and see like a sponge?* "Uh... Okay, then. We'll go ahead without her. She doesn't eat
much anyway.
Here, Sophia, eat more meat. You've been losing weight recently," said Melinda with a smile.
Meanwhile, Lilin snuck up to the second floor of the restaurant. The private rooms on the second floor were
almost full, so she had to check them individually.
The corridor was full of waiters standing by. She would definitely be sent back downstairs immediately if they
found her acting suspiciously.
After thinking about it carefully, an idea struck Lilin. Instead of sneaking around, it would be better for her to
actively ask for help.
Thus, she arranged her expression into one of helplessness and went up to tug at a waiter’s clothes.
"Mister, I... | can't find my mommy!" she wailed.
The waiter looked down and saw that it was a little girl. "There, there. Don't cry, little girl. Which room are you
from?"
Lilin blinked tearfully and shook her head. "I don't remember. I... | cout to use the restroom, and | couldn't
find my way back after that..."
The waiter was a little surprised when he heard this. "There's an attached restroom in every private room, so
why would you use the restroom outside? Does your mother know you're out here?"

Lilin was stunned. It never crossed her mind that there would be an attached restroom in the private room.
Nonetheless, her mind worked quickly, and she immediately cup with a reasonable explanation. "Someone
else was using the restroom in the private room | was in, and | couldn't hold it in anymore, so | ran out alone!
Mister, can you taketo find my mommy?"
Seeing the little girl with tears in her eyes, the waiter could not help but feel sorry for her. "Okay, okay! Don't cry.
I'll take you from room to room to find your mommy."
Having succeeded, Lilin jumped for joy mentally while she kept her pitiful look on her face. She nodded docilely
and said, "Thank you, Mister."
The waiter took her hand and led her to the first private room in the east end. He knocked on the door, led Lilin
in, and asked if someone had lost their daughter.
Lilin, on the other hand, took this tto look carefully at the faces of everyone in the room to see if any woman
looked similar to Bryan.
