Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 818 Picked up a Little Something

The girl’s hair was tousled, and her face was as dirty as her hands. She had a pair of amazingly bright

eyes that made her look like a deer caught in headlights.

“Don’t hit me! Ah!” Startled, she started bawling with the corners of her lips downturned.

Her crying immediately left Irvin dumbfounded, and he began pacing back and forth in a hurry. “Oh no,

don’t cry. I didn’t do anything to you. I’ll apologize to you, so please don’t cry?”

The girl stopped crying upon hearing that, and she gaped at him with wide eyes. She then resumed with

her wailing, only this time, she was louder.

Panicked, Irvin quickly sucked in a cold breath of air and scratched his head.

The one thing he couldn’t stand the most was the tears of a girl. His mother had taught him that boys

weren’t supposed to bully girls. With that in mind, Irvin had always treated girls with good manners.

But this unhygienic little girl wasn’t reacting like how he had thought she would. She was already crying

so hard he wanted to pull his hair out despite not having done anything to her.

I know what to do!

As an idea came to him, he swiftly darted away, and soon came back holding the freshly made ganache-

filled chocolate.

The girl was already howling and crying for her mother by now. As Irvin watched her putting her all into

crying, he suddenly felt entertained by the sight, so he kept watching for a while before he eventually

scooped a spoonful of chocolate and shoved it into her opened mouth.

“Boo— Huh?”

The crying abruptly stopped then. The girl dazedly closed her mouth and as soon as she was hit by the

mellow fragrance of the chocolate, she immediately marveled in this unique sweetness. She squeezed

her small lips shut tightly, for fear that the chocolate would fall out. She also didn’t forget to sniffle.

Her reaction made Irvin let out a long sigh. Girls are all the same, he concluded. Be it abroad or local, all

girls like desserts.

“Hey, take this.” He handed over the rest of the chocolate. “You are in luck. I made this myself. My mom

and sister are the only ones who have had it before. You are the third person to eat it.”

The girl seemed to have thrown all her fears aside as she wiggled out from under the table and took the

cake from him. She proceeded to send spoon after spoon of chocolate into her mouth, and it didn’t take

long before a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Irvin let out a smile of his own as well while he looked at her. One of the reasons he enjoyed cooking was

because he liked how it felt to heal souls with good food.

Of course, the only people he wanted to heal were Elise and Alexia. The little girl was merely his

‘accident’ today.

However, it was just a matter of time before the frown on Irvin’s face turned into a frown; the girl had

started sobbing again after she finished the whole box of chocolate.

“Y-You…” Irvin began to panic. “Surely chocolate can’t taste so bad that it makes you cry?!”

The girl raised her chin and looked at him with her watery eyes. “It is so yummy…”

“What?” Irvin was stunned once again.

“What if I can’t have this anymore after today?” She pouted grievously. As soon as she uttered those

words, big droplets of tears came rolling out of her eyes and down her plump and bouncy cheeks,

leaving tear stains behind.

The boy was instantly rendered speechless as his mind went blank.

He only came back to his senses after a long time. “What is your name? Where do you live?” he asked in

all seriousness.

“I am Mimi,” the girl muttered. “I don’t have a home, and I am all alone. Papa and Mama are dead.”

“Mimi?” That’s cute.

He immediately shook his head to get rid of the thought as he put on his manly mask again.

”My name is Irvin White. You can call me Irvin. You can be my little brother if you want more chocolate. I

will give you a place to stay and feed you well. Any objections?”

His words made her frown. “But I am a girl!”

“You can be my little sister, then,” he casually told her before shaking his head in disagreement to what

he said himself. “That won’t do either, because Lexi could get jealous. You will be my minion! Aye, that

will work just fine. I will be your boss from now on. You have to listen to me. Understood?”

“Mhm!” Mimi suddenly reached out to hug him. “I will listen to you, Irvin!”

He instantly flushed from his face to the base of his neck and pushed Mimi away before he took a few

steps back. “No!” he shrieked.

“What is the matter, Irvin?”

Irvin’s ears were red and warm as he looked at her innocent face, but he didn’t know how he should go

about explaining it to her. “Forget it,” he brought up another issue. “You should go get changed into

something clean. You have to remember to never hug boys, okay?”

Her confused expression was replaced by an eager one instead. “Not even you?”

“No!” he reminded her sternly. “I won’t want you anymore if you don’t listen to me.”

“No, no. I will listen. Don’t throw me away, Irvin!” Mimi immediately conceded, to which Irvin gave a

satisfied nod.

“Now that is better. Let’s go.”

…

At about 11.00AM, Elise brought Alexia to Irvin’s bedroom.

They pressed the doorbell as they stood outside his door.

As soon as the doorbell rang, the door was pulled open from the inside. Irvin then stuck his head out and

eagerly made way for the ladies. “Mommy, my dear sister, please come inside!”

Amused by her brother’s antics, Alexia chuckled. “Hehe! Are you cosplaying a waiter, Irvin? I want to

cosplay as well!”

“I am not.” He then informed her in a gentle voice, “There is chocolate I made for you on the sofa. Go

ahead and eat it.”

“Thank you Irvin! Long live Irvin!” Alexia ran into the living room as soon as she heard that.

Elise went ahead and pushed their luggage in, and she had just turned around when the boy came over

with a new pair of slippers. “Work must have been tiring, Mommy. Why don’t you change out of your

shoes to let your feet breathe?”

Even though Elise could tell at a glance that her son was buttering up to her, she didn’t expose him, and

neither did she speak as she played along with him.

Irvin then pushed out a bucket for soaking her feet right after she sat down. “Please soak your feet here,

Mommy. The hotel manager said that it is best to have a herbal foot soak after a long day.”

“Alright,” Elise murmured while she enjoyed the service and tried her best to hold back her laugh.

Still, she had to admit that this local foot soak remedy was indeed miraculous. It only took only a short

minute for a huge chunk of her fatigue to melt away.

Irvin soon brought out a fruit platter, thereafter taking a piece of watermelon and bringing it to her mouth.

“Mommy, fruits are good for the skin. Open your mouth. Say ah—”

“Ah—” For some reason, Elise started acting like a child as well by opening her mouth to chomp down on

the watermelon. She finally couldn’t stop herself from laughing. “Alright now. I will forgive you because of

your pleasant attitude.”

“Thank you Mommy! Muah!” Irvin hugged his mother’s face and showered her with kisses. Right after he

let go, he turned his head and darted to the kitchen. “I will cook something for you!”

“Hold your horses,” Elise suddenly stopped him. “Why are you still so hardworking after I forgive you?

Did you do something naughty that I don’t know of yet?”

Mothers always knew their children best. She could tell from his behavior that something was up.

“Hehe,” Irvin turned back guiltily and grinned. “Don’t be mad if I tell you, Mommy. I picked up a little

something outside and I brought it back with me. I want to raise it.”

His answer made her raise an eyebrow. “Hmm? Is it a kitten or a puppy? You know that your sister is

allergic to cat fur. You can’t keep it if it is a cat.”

“That won’t happen! I promise!” As Irvin spoke, he eagerly ran into the bathroom and brought Mimi along

with him. “Look, Mommy. Mimi is not a cat. She won’t trigger Lexi’s allergy!”
