Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Scent of a Man in the House

The kindergarten was quite close to their neighborhood. Enna Clark took him to the market to buy a fresh fish, and along the way, she asked him some questions about the trip.

Soon, they returned home.

As soon as Enna opened the door, Tobias Clark couldn’t wait to take off his shoes and put on his specially purchased 43 size men’s slippers. He dashed into the living room like a mini Sherlock Holmes.

“Bobby, slow down.”

Enna followed him to change her shoes. As soon as she changed, she saw him running back with a pair of men’s slippers that looked exactly like the ones he was wearing. He asked with a straight face, “Enna, did a man come to our house?”

Damn, she forgot to clean up the house!

Enna looked away and immediately changed the subject, deliberately raising her voice, “Bobby, how many times have I told you not to call me by my name? What did you call me just now?”

Tobias pressed his thin lips together, gripping the slippers. He became even more certain that a man had come to their house. He reluctantly called out, “Mummy.”

Not giving Enna a chance to breathe, he continued to press her, “How come these slippers are in the living room? Did we have a visitor?”

Enna put her bag on the sofa and casually answered, “We had a visitor, one of Mummy’s colleagues.”

The President could also be considered a colleague, albeit a more distant one…

“Colleague? What colleague? Have I met him? Does Auntie Tiffany know him?” He asked a series of questions, showing extraordinary scrutiny for a five-year-old child.

If it weren’t for his last question, Enna might have faltered, “Auntie Tiffany knows.’

“Oh.”

Since Auntie Tiffany knew, it meant that the man who came to their house when Tobias wasn’t around and wore his new slippers was a colleague from the company.

He disdainfully put the slippers back in the shoe cabinet and suddenly asked,

“What was Mummy’s colleague doing at our house?”

Enna felt as if he had seen through her and almost choked on her words. Fortunately, she remembered the new bedding in the bedroom and quickly explained, “He came to deliver the company’s annual meeting gift and had a glass of water while he was here.”

“What gift?” It seemed the young one was determined to get to the bottom of this.

Enna led him to the bedroom and pointed at the new bedding and desk, saying, “Well, these.”

Tobias had thought she was just spinning a yarn and that if the gift she mentioned wasn’t something a man needed to deliver personally, he could easily expose her lie and find out who the visitor was. However, there were indeed two new items in the house.

He could accept the bedding, but that desk definitely required a man’s strength to carry.

Still, something felt off… He suspiciously circled the desk, touched the new sheets, and found no other evidence. All he could say was, “This desk looks like a branded item—it must be worth a lot of money. When Auntie Tiffany comes over next time, let’s ask her to help us sell it.”

Sell it? Enna knew he was a little money-grubber, but selling his own father’s desk as soon as he got home was a bit much for her.

As if reading her reluctance, Tobias immediately said, “You already have a small table, and you can use your computer at the dining table as well. There’s no need for a desk. Since it’s not being used and takes up space in the bedroom, it’s better to sell it and get some money back..”
