He had already held his head and cried, "I would rather she's here with you. Otherwise, I don't know where she can go with the child. She can't eat or sleep these days. Tell me, what should I do?"
"Maybe you can burn my shop." she teased.
Richard looked up at her.
His face was covered with tears. Anyone who saw this man crying like a boy would be soft hearted.
He gritted his teeth and sobbed, "I know you hate me."
He lowered his head for a long time and suddenly knelt down.
Startled by his action, Cherry took a step back.
She bent down and helped him up. "What are you doing? Men have gold under their knees, not to mention that you are now a powerful man in A City."
"Stop mocking me." Richard refused to stand up.
He lowered his head and said sincerely, "I don't ask for anything. If she comes to you, can you tell me? I won't lock her anymore. I'll treat her well. I'll be good to her and the child, okay? Please... If you really hate me, I can give you my life."

The baby was talking in a childish voice, but Cherry heard it clearly.
She suddenly felt sad.
"Will Richard live with you?"
Adela nodded proudly and replied, "I did drive him away, but he insisted on staying. I have no way. Anyway, I'll lock the door when I go to bed at night. He won't be able to come in."
Cherry shook her head and smiled bitterly. "No matter how much courage you gave him, he probably wouldn't dare to go in. Now he is so afraid of you."
"Hey! Do you mean I'm a monster that eats people?" Adela stared at her.
Cherry didn't answer but raised her eyebrows towards the door.
As expected, Richard rushed into the room.
"What are you doing here again?" Adela frowned and said, "It's not easy for me to come out and visit a friend. It's none of your business."
Richard shook his head. "No, I didn't." "I just came back and didn't find you at home, so I came out to have a look."
"Don't be so nervous." Cherry smiled meaningfully and said, "She is here with me, and no one will hurt her."
Richard stood still, smiling awkwardly.
